Something amazing occurred this morning. Scientists can’t explain why it happened. Although our lives depended on it, most folks didn’t think twice about it. What is it? As I said, scientists don’t know why it happens but they have determined how it works. Why is a different question than How. What is it? Gravity pulled […]

Did you know we saw a fulfilled prophecy this week? Before the flood, cold and heat, summer and winter, are not mentioned. This is new due to the flood changing the world’s climate. The other time markers, dealing with farming and the sun and moon, are all mentioned in Genesis 1-2. That the flood changed […]

According to the scriptures, Jesus was crucified around 9:00 AM (“the third hour”; Mark 15:24-25); and died six hours later around 3:00 PM (“the ninth hour”; Matthew 27:45-46).

From the beginning Israel/Jews understood Gentiles were part of the Abrahamic promise. Yahweh said “all nations” would be blessed through Abraham, not just Israel (Gen.12:3). What Jews did not understand is Gentiles could be saved without the Law (Acts 15:1). Ruth became an Israelite because Naomi’s people and God became Ruth’s. In other words, Jews […]

One of the interesting differences between animals and humans suggests we did not involve from a lower life form to a higher one. Spiders who make webs instinctually are master engineers. Canadian Geese are not “directionally challenged” like some of my relatives. This overall instinctual genius is not found across the board in humans. If […]

A statement is axiomatic if it needs no proof because it is true by the definitions of the words themselves: A servant is not above his master; water is wet; etc. Denial comes when people willingly ignore the obvious which is becoming the new legal norm: Men are no longer only males; marriage is no […]
