Have you ever had the following experience – you remember someone, but they don’t remember you? Do you remember what emotions you felt and experienced? The feelings could run the gamut from “Oh well” to “Oh…” to “I’m surprised” to “How dare you!” Looking from the outside, and seeing this happen, a different emotion might […]

“It is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, ‘This is the Word of God. In it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,’ I would […]

Life can be painful; loneliness can be suffocating, obedience can be a struggle. Often our burdens come from our own sin. Some originate from God. Which is worse – to suffer because of disobedience, or to suffer because of obedience? Let’s first look at Jeremiah. God commanded Jeremiah not to marry.

Love & Example Is Stronger than Authority Let us never forget love is stronger than force. Force relies on the weakness of one; love relies on the strength of two. Commendations are a frequent happening with Paul. If there is good to be announced, he blows the horn. Letting others know of “beloved” brothers and […]

A feminine voice spoke into my answering machine, “we need your type to be donated due to a current shortage.” I am B positive – not the rarest, nor the most common. Being civically minded, I drove from East Boca to West Boca through a torrential storm. They closed at 5:00 PM, so I went […]

In sixth grade, my daughter Rachel came home with science class work. They had to decide which sense, if they had to lose one, they would least likely miss. Which would you choose? I chose smelling. Every sense is special, after all, they are gifts from God given to enjoy this world. However, for […]

Men are different from women. To us, this is nothing innovative, nor surprising, shocking or controversial. Emotionally, mentally, physically, and biologically the sexes are different. Ironically, our commonality is our dissimilarity. Neither sex is inferior or superior to the other…just oddly opposite. Poles apart like the North Pole and the South Pole. The poles […]
