A Different Scandal
Of Such a Kind It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife. You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed … Continue reading A Different Scandal
Love is a Mystery
I love God. I love my husband. I love my children (and in-law children) and my grandchildren. I also love certain flavors of ice-cream, and vegetables, salads and soups, and fresh-baked rolls or bread. I love some music, too, and particular kinds of art, and a walk in the park on a sunny, but not … Continue reading Love is a Mystery
Too Many Secrets
So many lies. So many secrets. So many things hidden, covered and disguised in order to fool, to deceive, to manipulate. So much fakery and hypocrisy. So many pertinent facts and details willfully withheld, and purposefully omitted, in order to deceive naïve and unsuspecting minds and/or to protect the dishonest, the crooked, the shady from … Continue reading Too Many Secrets

They have snuck into the church stealthily and secretively by another way other than the true way, i.e. they have not entered by way of the cross of Christ, but by way of the … Continue reading By Way of the Flesh
Calm Reassurance
Have you ever gone through something that you felt was just too overwhelming for you, and you didn’t know how you would survive? Something, perhaps so devastating, that you just didn’t know which way to turn next? You wondered how you would make it. Perhaps you even wondered if God was with you, and if … Continue reading Calm Reassurance
Let’s Face It!
We all have enemies, let’s face it. No matter how nice we are, there are always going to be people who won’t like us, and who will rise against us, just because we are not like them; just because we are different. Yet, for those of us who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be … Continue reading Let’s Face It!
Image Makers
Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame. Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no profit? Behold, all his companions will be put … Continue reading Image Makers
