Help My Unbelief

Godā€™s people experience both faith and doubt in their journey through life. Maybe itā€™s not doubt to the level of denying Godā€™s existence, but we can see many examples laid out for us in Godā€™s word of both conditions of faith and doubt happening to godly people. Satan works tirelessly to sow seeds of doubt. Doubt is something that can grab us, and it can grow and fester. However, there are methods to help prevent doubt, or to overcome it, and to continue to grow in faith instead. There are … [Read more...] about Help My Unbelief

Itā€™s a Dark World

We can each provide a personal perspective of the world and current events. We form opinions each day as we try to take in the vast scale of all that is happening. Whatever your view, it is most probably influenced by a dark world. King David has an interesting insight into the working of an unconverted mind. It seems he was inspired to write about manā€™s wickedness as though he were seeing our day today: "Transgression (lawlessness) speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear … [Read more...] about Itā€™s a Dark World

Time and Chance Happens to All

Solomon addresses an issue that causes a great deal of perplexity to people because heā€™s made this statement that the righteous and wise and their works are in the hand of God (Ecclesiastes 9:1). At first that sounds like a great place to be. Then he says: ā€œAll things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who … [Read more...] about Time and Chance Happens to All

The Search for Significance

Today, the entire world finds itself in a time of vast, uneasy change, where economic, social, political, and religious turmoil are the rule of the day not the exception. And now, we hear about the advent of AI. Our minds can only imagine how much thatā€™s going to accelerate or increase what is already uneasy change. Already, the constant bombardment produces a toxic environment of unresolved stress. Unresolved stress leads to disconnected lives. Disconnected lives lead to helplessness. … [Read more...] about The Search for Significance

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

Longsuffering

The headline in a recent Wall Street Journal was titled ā€œWar in the Middle East is closer than you think.ā€ It didnā€™t say ā€˜might be closerā€™ rather ā€œit is closer than you thinkā€. The subhead to that was: ā€œRussia isnā€™t parked, (It has not stopped its development of the war with the Ukraine.) Iran isnā€™t pacified, (itā€™s going ahead full force with its nuclear program.) and both are coordinating strategies with China.ā€ Russia, Iran, and China are going to become a potent force in the world scene. … [Read more...] about Longsuffering

True Peace

Most people on the planet prefer peace in relationships, in finances and from government interference. Fortunately, peace is especially important to God. From His perspective peace is closely connected to the concept of reconciliation. Something that God has always desired for humanity. God tells us that those who develop the qualities of "peacemaker" will be blessed (Matthew 5:9). Individually we may have little to no power to influence peace between nations; however, we can have power … [Read more...] about True Peace
