Much is being written and said about the coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19. It is being regarded as an imminent global threat and perhaps a forerunner of further emerging infectious diseases. One recent article written by a Clinical Professor and Associate Director of Animal Diagnostic Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, cited three reasons for this particular outbreak. Firstly, rapid urbanization which concentrates 200 million people in East Asia into areas that were once … [Read more...] about Practical Value of Godâs Law

Getting Out of the Mess Weâre In
There is one thing we have in common with everyone else. And itâs not just something we have in common with people who are just like us or our friends, but itâs something we have in common with people we donât even knowâwith people very much unlike us. Make no mistake; we all have a mess in our lives. And even if youâre lucky enough to be between messes right now, youâre still just a decision away from creating a brand-new mess. We are all good at hiding our messes. In fact, we usually are … [Read more...] about Getting Out of the Mess Weâre In
Keep On a-Changinâ!
In Jeremiah 17:9 we read the following: âThe heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?â Does this refer to followers of Godâs also? It basically refers to those without God, but those who are making a diligent effort to truly follow God do not get away scot-free. It would probably be fair to say for those trying to follow Godâs way: âThe heart is still occasionally deceitful, and sometimes still not in harmony with Godâs laws. We must, with Godâs help, get … [Read more...] about Keep On a-Changinâ!
Sigh and Cry
It is difficult to ignore major events swirling around us on a daily basis. Their magnitude seeks our attention, particularly when they fit the general description of prophetic events. I find myself checking world news sources each morning with the anticipation of what else happened overnight. Since we are powerless to change the course of world events, it becomes important to know how to process the information. What did God mean when He told the angel who had the writerâs inkhorn at his … [Read more...] about Sigh and Cry
A Word of Encouragement
âA word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.â The author of that statement is unknown, but what can be known is that there is a lot of wisdom in it. The author did not say that offering praise after a success is bad â itâs not, it is a good thing. It is, however, not nearly as valuable as the encouragement needed to get to that eventual praise for success. When our children are little, there will always be certain things that they fail at, at … [Read more...] about A Word of Encouragement
God’s Goyim
There are numerous words that we use in our daily vocabulary that have changed meaning over the years. Have we allowed ourselves to appropriate a meaning to the word âGentileâ that was not intended? In Galatians, the second chapter we see Paul giving the account of Peterâs example as a Jew when he separated himself from the Gentiles fearing what other Jews would think. The Jews regarded Gentiles as inferior. Eastonâs Bible Dictionary states the definition of "Gentile" as (Hebrew, usually in … [Read more...] about God’s Goyim
The Most Dangerous Temptation That Faces Our Youth
Imagine your beaming little boy or energetic little girl. Youâre watching them grow and develop year after year and you wish that time would stand still. âStop growingâŚâ is a phrase youâve almost certainly told your child at some point in time in their young life. The years go by, and you see this innocent and inquisitive child learn new things. You know theyâre going to be exposed to some filthy things in their life. But right now, you see the light in their eyes and the purity in their spirit … [Read more...] about The Most Dangerous Temptation That Faces Our Youth
