Butterfly

Have you ever seen… A butterfly kiss an angel The sun swallowed by the Earth The moon flirt with the night The earth spew from it’s mouth, the sun, like a rising balloon Diamonds in the sky A butterfly perched on a rainbow A white Cross over a bottomless pit What happens when: A butterfly kisses an angel? When we…

What Kind Of Love

What kind of love is it that causes man to choose hell instead of God? Selfish love. What kind of love is it that caused God to send Christ to the Cross in spite of man’s selfishness? Infinite Love. What kind of love is it that caused God to love us so much that He died for all, and most…

Quote Me

Time is a wise counselor if we stop, look and listen. There is rest, peace, happiness, freedom and beauty, in Truth. The seeds of injustice should never have been planted. The Lord preserves His Word of Truth, deceit is self-destructive. Lust will burn endlessly in the lake of fire. What the unbeliever sows in this life will be reaped forever….

Compromise

So powerful is human nature that it is successful in trivializing morality — which compromises truth. If truth can be compromised then there is no truth. Morality is a requisite of existence. Without truth there can be no justice, no injustice. Without morality there is no standard except “to each his own.” “Live and let live” is the philosophy of…

The Choice Is Yours

“Fortune and Fame” lead to “Torment and Shame” if it is not blessed by God. If Satan and Hell are not real to you, then Christ and the Cross are not real to you! Every man makes a choice even when he doesn’t choose! The choices are: The leader of the lawless, or The Lord of Righteousness and Life. The…

Revelation and Reason

God reveals Himself in many ways, such as His Son, His Holy Spirit, His Word, creation, and recorded history. But, He also proves Himself by the future through prophecy. God’s mighty works and power are everywhere displayed. God is the only accurate prophet. A God that transcends time and space is incomprehensible. But, God is not beyond our natural senses….

No Return

In death there is no return address, only forwarding. We must learn to be introspective prospectors. In prophecy the Bible describes the future of history with total accuracy. We now live the ever-present future of history. Childhood is the influencing factor of destiny. Ungodliness is the search for God — making the wrong choices. Worldliness is cosmic (satanic) which contradicts…

Allude

If the nature of our physical world were different, would it be empty of matter?  If space were different, would it be full or empty?  If our vision were untarnished and perfect would we see the unseeable? Would what we then see be the spiritual world of eternity? If we cannot think the unthinkable, is it an empty thought? If…

The Center of Change

Our society is being unwittingly reborn; our culture subtly reshaped; and reality redefined. The fog of liberalism/progressivism has, like the mist, quietly submerged us in neutrality. Today there seems to be a vacuum at the center of our hearts where truth was once the cherished possession of our heritage. The center of life must be Truth. The pursuit of knowledge…

Absolute

From the Latin absolutus meaning complete, totally free from restriction. God is absolute Truth. To deny absolute truth is to deny God. God is the all-inclusive  embodiment of true reality. God is the only necessary being which means that He depends on nothing, and everything that is anything depends on God. There  can be only one absolute in existence.

Grandma and Grandpa’s House

“Grandparents help us with zippers and shoelaces and stuff like that. They send birthday cards with money, too.” When I was a kid, I loved going to grandma and grandpa’s house. When we arrived they were always waiting with open arms; hugs and loves; and lots of attention. Yes, that’s it … we got lots of attention. They made us…

Quick Thoughts — Happy Days

Tidbits of humor and a little more love for the road ahead. Every day (raising four children), was laundry day. Every week day meant getting ready for school, and of course, the daily frustration for the three girls who always had nothing to wear. And of course their older brother didn’t care. Being a parent is not easy, and forgetting…

Wings Of Night

As darkness settles on wings of night The fireplace warm and burning bright The children nestled under Daddy’s big arms Listening to words of mystical charm Stories from another time Real fantasy in the children’s mind Heroes and villains of long ago Stories of imagery we all know But Daddy’s voice soon fades away His words become whispers never meant…

God Has Already Provided Salvation

(John 3:15-16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18).  All judgment for our personal sin was poured out upon Christ and judged (John 5:27). At the First Advent (Christ coming as a man, as Messiah), Christ was judged for our sin, at the Second Advent (Second Coming) Christ is Judge! Everyone who has rejected the Cross of Christ at…
