Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth - Joel Hendon⁽⁷⁵⁶⁾
Sometime about 40 years ago, I had a recurring dialogue with a young lady regarding the two laws, or two testaments, and tried over and over to explain the differences in them and what they were for, plus why there are two to begin with.

20/20 Vision - Raymond Elliott⁽¹⁰⁹⁾
It is suggested that we have our eyesight checked at least every two years. The ideal vision is 20/20. Most of us, as we grow older, need some assistance to enable us to see.

Preachers Have To Say Unpleasant Things, Sometimes - Joel Hendon⁽⁷⁵⁶⁾
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a preacher. I wish I were. I even tried to be once. But my quiet monotone put even the ushers to sleep.

How Devoted Must A Christian Be? - Joel Hendon⁽⁷⁵⁶⁾

Without Natural Affection - Joel Hendon⁽⁷⁵⁶⁾
The inspired Apostle Paul’s admonishment to the church in Rome not only chastises those of that day, but his description of the ungodly fit today as well as then.

Universal Salvation? - Raymond Elliott⁽¹⁰⁹⁾

Who Are You Looking For? - RR Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾
The question very direct concerning you and your belief in God.

What are Christians to be? - RR Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾
That is those who profess and actually believe and do the works of Christ. Now first of all we can never attain to Christ's level and we recognize that.

Keeping Ones Faith While Undergoing Trial and Adversity. - RR Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾

Blindness and Bias, True Bedfellows. - Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾

The World In the Next Century, will we get there? - Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾
I suspect many watched the show about the world last evening on television as seen through the eyes of a fictitious character born today, in this generation.

You're Not Fooling Anyone - Steve Higginbotham⁽¹⁾
Years ago, my sister and I dressed up one day in an attempt to " play a trick " on my dad.

Business As Usual Equals No Real Change. - Robert Melaccio, Sr.⁽¹²³⁾
