We get lazy people who not only don’t like working, they won’t work. Then we have people who don’t need to work. Normally they are sufficiently well off, not needing to earn an income. But there is another type of person who does not work. This is called the sponger. This person lets the wife […]
Sometimes when we debate with each other, it is not because we disagree with each other. We agree and our debating helps to stimulate our thinking and maturing as to what we believe about something. Debating when we disagree could become heated as we disagree. Debating when we agree can also become heated … but […]
To a question I asked this morning at a prayer meeting, a brother said that in a certain city he observed a huge Masonic Temple (Free Masons). There are many pagan temples and idolatrous statues all around us. Most people don’t even notice them … though the people of God, born by His Spirit and […]

Secular culture has influenced Christian customs to the point where very few people see the Lord’s Day (if you like, the Christian Sabbath Day) as special, set apart and intended for what God ordained […]
How do you feel going back to your boss having to say that the client who was done an injustice does not want your attention as an employee … they want the boss! Some employees don’t give a hoot. I cancelled a travel insurance policy that benefited us with slightly over $200. This was, at […]
