Paul the Citizen

Being a citizen of a country, in some cases, includes many advantages. If you are a citizen of the EU or USA, when entering certain countries you don’t need a visa. Here in the USA, the citizens take their citizenship very seriously. I read today of a man who as a US citizen came from […]

Seeing, Hearing, Believing

There are many times when the Gospel is proclaimed and those who hear respond negatively against it. It is not that there is anything wrong with the Gospel. Not at all. The Gospel is God’s Rescue Plan for mankind. Analyzing the Gospel shows it is perfect in every way. The problem is the heart of […]

Paul’s Testimony

Some people incorrectly believe that only pastors and Christian Workers are called to testify about the Lord Jesus and His offer of the Gospel to all who will receive it.

Ascension Day

I spoke a few days ago about us going down to Charleston on South Carolina’s coast because some friends of ours were to dock there on Saturday past. Jenny and I have not seen these friends in a few years. The last was in 2015 when they were with us at Izapa Game Lodge. Our […]

Away With Him

To the Jews, the temple was exceptionally sacred because it was the dwelling place of God amongst His people. He resided in the Holy of Holies. Only the high priest could enter there once a year with blood to appease for his sin, that of his family as well as the Nation of Israel. The […]

Paparazzi Journalism

It’s amazing how people are able to trump up stories against others to make their opponents look stupid or even criminal. We see this in politics across the planet. Journalism at times can be of a paparazzi nature, creating the sensational. In big business there tends to be cut throat ethics to out maneuver the […]
