If you were face to face with God and He asked you why He should let you into heaven, what would you tell Him? The truth is there will be no argument or negotiation about your final destination after you die because death is the vehicle to your permanent abode. So how can you setContinue reading “Simply, What’s Your Defense? – Lite (5 Min)”

Faithful are the Oracles of God – Lite (30 min)
Ever wonder what is the point of all the difficulties a believer faces when pushing back darkness? Being holy and loving in a fallen world is hard work! Does becoming holy even matter if showing love is so vital to the Christian life? Some believers think the initial confession of faith is all that counts.Continue reading “Faithful are the Oracles of God – Lite (30 min)”
The Believer’s Eternal Rewards – Lite (10 min)
It’s interesting to listen to people discuss what they value and watch the excitement on their faces. I especially enjoy watching children unwrap presents with great anticipation. Friends, 1st Corinthians 2:9-10 says (and I am paraphrasing) that eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor hearts dreamed of the great things that God has preparedContinue reading “The Believer’s Eternal Rewards – Lite (10 min)”
The Outcomes: Part 1 – Lite (35 min)
The 2nd chapter of Romans personalizes the reality of willful blindness in a “virtuous” person, and it ought to cause great introspection. In this chapter, the word “you” is used 27 times within 12 out of a total of 29 verses. That’s on average over 2 times per statement which is fairly confrontational. It becomesContinue reading “The Outcomes: Part 1 – Lite (35 min)”

The Just – Lite (25 min)
For God to be good and have a relationship with us based on mutual love, He had to give humanity a choice. So, God created our species in His Image, made us perfect (knowing only good), and provided everything needed to succeed including perfect direction (and what to avoid). Then He gave us liberty; theContinue reading “The Just – Lite (25 min)”
Hope Again – Lite (12 min)
In surveying the communities I am involved in, I see a resilience stirring in some people; but, I also see a weariness in others. The past few years have been trying and divisive for the majority of people for various reasons. Friends, if you are growing tired because of the canvas in front of you,Continue reading “Hope Again – Lite (12 min)”
Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)
Do people judge each other because of unforgiveness, ignorance, lovelessness, or entitlement? Are there several causes? Hmmm. I admit I have difficulty wanting to sit in a church where the preaching includes the world’s encroaching philosophies (undetected or at least embraced by its leadership). The intention of this blog is to help those who (1)Continue reading “Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)”
Dress Code in Effect – Lite (22 min)
Why do we feel that everything is negotiable? When invited to a wedding, is the invited permitted to determine the date, time, venue, and nuptial garments? Certainly, those invited have a choice to determine whether they will attend, they make preparations to journey to the ceremonial site, and they make the effort to get there. ButContinue reading “Dress Code in Effect – Lite (22 min)”
The Plumbline – Lite (15 min)
As of the posting of this piece, the Merriam-Webster dictionary states that relativism is a view that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding them. Please note the distinction made by including the word ‘ethical’ to delineate the type of truth. Audio version of the full-length blog/podcast (27 min).
