This could not happen. Remember that as you read; it’s just a story. It didn’t happen. It was ‘take-your-kid-to-work-day’ so they did. The scientists did. The nuclear scientists took their kids to work. Older-than-9, younger-than-99 kids (actually quite a bit younger but kids don’t change much over time). Silly, curious kids. Somewhat undisciplined, immature kids. […]
Yes, black lives matter
In spite of some cops brutalizing and killing black men, black lives matter. In spite of some sick individuals chasing and killing black men, black lives matter. In spite of racial bias in education, careers, religion, and government, black lives matter. In spite of James Earl Ray assassinating Martin Luther King, Jr., black lives matter. […]
For the sake of the gospel
For churches deciding whether or not to return to meeting for worship, specifically when there is still a do-not-meet-in-crowds order or advice that may seem to contradict US constitutional rights – here is a passage in the New Testament that ought to be studied as part of the decision process. 1 Corinthians 9:15-23 (NASB): 15 But […]
War with spiritual forces
On June 5, 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower issued the order for the Allied Expeditionary Forces to storm the beaches of Normandy and press the offensive against Hitler’s military. The order stated: “Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen… You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of […]
Evidence and proof
How do you know God is or isn’t? Agnosticism and atheism. Skepticism and doubt. Some individuals have come to one or more of those perspectives. There are various processes that have led them to conclude that believing in the reality of God is not an acceptable notion. I can’t and won’t try to speak for […]
Submitting to submission
I’m not always good at understanding everything a person is telling me. Sometimes I hear only the words and miss the context, the emotion, the depth of meaning, and the full purpose of what they’re saying. I will be thinking in very black and white concepts, so all I get is a surface understanding or […]
Drunk on God
Paul the apostle wrote to the believers in Ephesus: And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the […]
GOD IS NOT SENDING COVID-19
Biblical theology is your friend Every time there is a tragedy or catastrophe in the world, some well-meaning “teachers” will declare that it is an act of God to bring humanity to repentance or just to punish some of us (no one ever testifies about themselves being punished by God). They will usually base their […]
Renewed living
There is kind of shift in the fourth chapter of Ephesians. Paul starts writing about everyday living. He says to live in a way that fits God’s call for you to have new and abundant life in Christ. First, he writes about the body of Christ: be united, be cohesive so you can follow God’s […]
Built to do God’s work
We own an exercise bicycle. It’s in my storage building/workshop. All of its parts are intact. They’re all there and none are broken. It should work fine. I do use it. I hang an extension cord on the handlebars. It sits close to my table saw and sometimes I balance a board on it while […]
