In the book of Ecclesiastes 11:9-11 the preacher wrote an exhortation that is much needed today for our young people: “Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that...

Clouds - Raymond Elliott(87)
For several weeks we have experienced a real ‘monsoon’ season in the southeast section of our country.

Thy Word Is Truth: The Case Of The Missing Hittites - Joel Hendon(564)
Man has attempted to show that the Bible is not God's word and they try to find fallacies to back them up. They have put their hearts into finding certain things in the holy writ which may have not been verified by historians etc. They eagerly teach this as PROOF of the errancy of the Bible....

Eli: A good man but a bad father - Raymond Elliott(87)
One unique aspect of the Bible is that the inspired writers pointed out the weak characteristics as well as the strong in various individuals. It is revealed that Peter, a pillar of the early church, denied the Lord (Matthew 27:69-75). David, a man after God’s own heart, committed adultery... ( added 1 year 2 days ago.)
Makes You Think Of Your Own Mortality, Doesn't It? - Raymond Elliott(87)
These were the very words spoken by my doctor during a visit to his office following my having a stent placed in a main artery leading from my heart on Friday, May 4, 2001.

Understanding God’s Covenants (Laws) - Joel Hendon(564)
There is a massive amount of information about the Holy Bible which is misunderstood. The book is a compilation of writings by inspired men from Moses on through the New Testament Apostles and other inspired men of God.

The Hadean Realm: A Difficult Subject - Joel Hendon(564)
There are many differences held by various bible scholars as to the state and location of the dead. Various verses in the bible seem to infer things that would mean one thing or another.

The Christian's Persecution - Joel Hendon(564)
The plight of the faithful Christian has been that of persecution from the beginning of the Lord's church on the first Pentecost after His resurrection.

Does Ignorance Equate With Innocence? - Joel Hendon(564)
One dictionary I found listed innocence as a synonym for ignorance. And I can understand and accept that, conditionally. We often see a child do something that hurts himself or someone else or damages something and, in most cases we accept the fact that the child did not know better. In other...

Jesus' Miracles, Local Or Long Distance - Joel Hendon(564)
To study the healing powers that Jesus possessed is both amazing and acutely interesting. He had power over any and all things, including natural laws and even Satan's demons.

Two Mortals Who Walked On Earth After Heaven - Joel Hendon(564)
We often read of someone who had a " near death experience " and claim they went to heaven but were sent back. I personally do not accept that. I do not question their sincerity in thinking it happened but I am quite sure it was caused by medication or some other factor which caused a... ( added 1 year 102 days ago.)
Secularization - Steve Higginbotham
Secularization is the process of removing religious and moral influence from our society. And I must conclude that secularization is alive and well. As you know, and many of you may remember first hand, there was a time when each school day began with a prayer. Of course, if such happened... ( added 1 year 105 days ago.)
"Houston, We Have A Problem" - Steve Higginbotham
It’s hard to believe that it was 39 years ago today when the astronauts on Apollo 13 reported a problem to the control center at Houston. An explosion that occurred nearly 200,000 miles from Earth jeopardized the lives of three astronauts. From the moment this problem was reported... ( added 1 year 109 days ago.)
"And You Fathers…” - Raymond Elliott(87)
The apostle Paul, guided by the Holy Spirit, wrote: “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). Thus, the basic responsibility of rearing children is laid squarely on the shoulders of the... ( added 50 days 9 hours ago.)
Continuing the Character Discussion - straight talk(78)
This week by circumstance we were forced to go out and seek a solution to a family problem which in my opinion and that of many highly identified the lack and loss of character in our nation from those who are called adults. Can we expect any better from our very children when these negative... ( added 96 days 15 hours ago.)
Signs of the Age Not Seen or Recognized but by a few. - straight talk(78)
Well my prior article on Character touches briefly on the attitude and the makeup of many today. As I stated when we allow and in a learning environment much less, to have a total disregard for the breaking of law, even making excuses for it and accepting it, then what more can be said? If you do... ( added 105 days 9 hours ago.)
Can it be the Devil uses the Word to seduce man? - straight talk(78)
Rhetorically and by opinion can the devil use the Word of God to seduce man? Well for Christians and for that matter the other major religions of the world we do find a great disparity in just what people believe about what God said. Rhetorically one might be fair in asking why? Now we would be... ( added 112 days 13 hours ago.)
Van Rompuy, Obama – Is it Change or Chains - Rev M Bresciani(4)

A Look At The Gospel Of Thomas - Joel Hendon(564)
To spend a lot of time studying the apocryphal books would probably be a waste of time when one should be studying the bible. But, a little knowledge of these books, I believe, is valuable. The Gospel of Thomas, for instance was discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt near the end of 1945 and a number... ( added 361 days 16 hours ago.)
Is The End Coming Soon? - Raymond Elliott(87)
“THE END OF TIME IS ALMOST HERE " (Emphasis, mine, R.E.). Everybody is talking about it. Everybody feels something world shattering is about to happen. It is going to be worse than a hydrogen war.

Do You Recognize the Signs In the Heavens? - RR straight talk(78)
In an earlier article and on my other blog I spoke to the recent eclipse that drew millions all around this globe to seek it out with wonder. Interestingly I did not know but it seems this same eclipse had fallen on exactly the same date on the Jewish [note that] calendar none year earlier. It is... ( added 1 year 32 days ago.)
Two Wrongs Have A Right - Raymond Elliott(87)
But, the two wrongs do not make one right. The reason being, the wrongs are not right, singularly or collectively. Now permit me to explain what I mean by all this jargon. On Sunday, October 17, 2004, the Montgomery Advertiser carried an article pertaining to a protest led by an extremist... ( added 1 year 40 days ago.)
Golden Calves Of The Bible - Joel Hendon(564)
Those of you who have followed my writings very much, know that I was raised on a farm amidst just about all types of farm livestock imaginable.

We Can Learn From The Universal Flood - Joel Hendon(564)
Just about everyone who has heard of the Bible, is at least partially familiar with the story of Noah. But not many have taken the time to analyze the event.
