Is the Web a Source of Wisdom?

We hear very little about wisdom today.  Instead, we hear more and more about the importance of information ā€” about the virtues of information and the benefits of increased information.  ā€œBig dataā€ and ā€œdata miningā€ are the buzz words of the day.  These are quite literally seen by humanity as their savior.  But it is important to recognize that information, knowledge, and wisdom are not the same things.  I want to lay out the building blocks first from a humanistic … [Read more...] about Is the Web a Source of Wisdom?

Digital Distraction

If there has ever been a group of people that are called upon to use their minds, it is the people of God who have chosen to live His way of life. When I say, ā€œuse our mindsā€, I donā€™t mean human reasoning or logic; there is to be an emphasis on teaching, thinking, and understanding.  Many religious systems are devised by men, who very often downplay teaching in favor of rituals. To them, rituals and traditions are what is most important.  But true faith requires that we use our … [Read more...] about Digital Distraction

Why Israel?

The Bible is replete with the use of the word Israel but today it is confusing and often misunderstood. What is being referred to are the multiple nations that came from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), and his 12 sons. But God's plan includes all people of all nations. Abraham's family was only the first step in God's amazing plan. So, why Israel? The Bible plainly says this about the nation of Israel: ā€œFor you are a holy people to the … [Read more...] about Why Israel?

The Prophetic Return of Christ

Our lives consist of and are measured by pivotal events and experiences that change our direction, our behavior. They can change our outlook on life in one way or another. Throughout history God has placed pivotal events upon humanity to shake us from the paradigms which allow us to justify our behavior, to define for ourselves what is good and evil. Some have developed a form of godliness but, whether knowingly or unknowingly, deny the power and purpose of God as their Creator and … [Read more...] about The Prophetic Return of Christ

The True Nature of Leadership

I think we can say factually that we are in a crisis of leadership in this country and the world.  It is not just political government.  Leadership is also suffering in education, business, city governments, families and in the Churches. Today I want to take a practical look at this issue of leadership. Itā€™s not so much a discussion of leadership principles but more about the whole concept of leadership, the nature of leadership. First, I want to look at leadership from a worldly … [Read more...] about The True Nature of Leadership

God Is with His People

One way that we can make sense of the Church today is to look at the blueprint of how God built up a people to be His people. Since Christ doesnā€™t change, His consistency will be evident in how He dealt with ancient Israel and how He deals with the Church today.   As Moses prepared the children of Israel to enter the land of Canaan, he wrote the words of the law in a book and placed that book in the Ark of the Covenant. Then God through Moses addressed the people of Israel … [Read more...] about God Is with His People

Predestination

Many are working very hard to build a closer relationship with God. We all have ideas and concepts that are not exactly where they need to be. One small step further in this relationship building is to understand better Godā€™s personal plan for each of us. As individuals we tend to plan out our lives in advance. As we plan, questions arise: Were we, as individuals, chosen before the foundation of the world? Does God plan our life in advance? Has God predetermined our future? We need some … [Read more...] about Predestination
