There’s an interesting sign inside a very popular car wash and coffee shop business here in El Paso that carries not only an application for us in the secular world, but in the spiritual world as well. The words of the sign read: “If I don’t go, I don’t get” The idea behind these words, […]

We live in a society today, where respect for authority is being either ignored or challenged. In the Bible, God has clearly established lines of authority covering every aspect of our lives. As human beings and God‘s children, it is our responsibility to have respect for God’s authority. In this short article, let us list […]

“My sheep hear my voice.” One morning while shepherds were eating their breakfast, one of their sheep jumped off a 45-foot cliff to its death. Then, as they looked on, they were stunned as the rest of the flock followed. In all, 1,500 sheep mindlessly stumbled off the cliff. The only good news was that […]

How can God justly put man’s sin upon an innocent victim? There are only two ways in which God can justly put a man’s sin upon an innocent victim. First, God may do such when the victim has no moral value. This was the case under the Old Covenant when God commanded animal sacrifices be […]

In an earlier lesson I related how that God had commanded the children of Israel to worship no other god. He said specifically: Exodus 20:2-6 (2) “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. (3) “You shall have no other gods before […]

In light of the recent tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, let us be encouraged by David’s Psalm 37 regarding the destiny of evildoers:

One of your articles discussed that a person who leaves the church and rejects God has no more sacrifice for sin. Can these people be brought back into the fold? Yes, provided they sincerely desire to come back. The book of Hebrews deals more with this issue of falling away than does any other book […]

If we look too far ahead of today, life’s challenges may feel like a Mt. Everest climb. They can appear impossible to handle if we think we have to achieve them all in one day.

Did Jesus really walk on water or simply use some nearby sandbars? Did He actually multiply bread and fish to feed 5,000 people, or did He just hypnotize the crowd into thinking He did? Were those miracles or merely clever deceptions?

Many years ago, my grandmother taught me the following old maxim: “Waste not, want not.” It’s sad to see that in our materialistic society, this maxim has long gone by the wayside in application. For example, in our public schools, waste is an ongoing problem. In the El Paso School District where I am employed, […]

You’ve also learned a little about making the search engines work for you to bring in new readers.  What else […]

In the medical world, there seems to be great confusion in determining when a human being should be considered a human being. For example, “Is the so-called “blob” of tissue a viable human being while in the womb of the mother?”

The game of pretense. We know that children play the game, and in their time of life it is innocent and a great deal of fun. But then, there’s the grown-up world, and for those in Christ, there is the reality set forth in the Word of God. Christianity is not the religion of pretense. […]

Ahithophel (his name means “brother of folly”) was a statesman and counselor of kings, who enjoyed such great fame and popularity that his counsel “was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God” (2 Samuel 16:23).

Recently, my wife and I stopped at a local fast-food restaurant for hamburgers. As we ate in their outside eating area, I noticed that a beautiful blackbird, having midnight black body feathers, coal black tail, and wing feathers, landed in the empty space beside our car. Standing very patiently, I knew that all he wanted […]

Enemies come in all different shapes and sizes. There are physical enemies who seek to take our lives. There are enemies in the business world who would destroy our way of earning a living. There are enemies within families when close bonds have been severed due to a “falling out.” And, there are spiritual enemies […]
