You’ve heard this before. Time waits for no one. The Rolling Stones even had a song with that title. So, that proves it’s got to be true. Right?

You can’t turn … The rest of the story…

Once again I read a post, by a well-known social media person, who blamed God for bad stuff. And once again, it’s another person who thinks “God is in control” of even something like back problems. This person, like far too many others, falls for the pagan Greek philosophy version of our Creator. And not for the one, true, living, loving, Creator who doesn’t … The rest of the story…
You’ve heard this expression: The only thing that stays the same is change. Right? Well, it’s the only thing because there are two things that stay the same. Continuity and change. Wait! How can that be? Two things stay the same because there’s only one thing that changes? Ow…my head hurts. And I didn’t even have champagne last night. Continuity and change are two … The rest of the story…
Talk about God and watch what happens A Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition in the Funderbungalow is to watch classic silver screen movies. Elgielene and I love the “old black and whites.” This Thanksgiving was no different. After our family tradition of steak, sweet potatoes, veggies, and dessert, we pulled up a couple of movies on YouTube and settled in. One thing stood out in … The rest of the story…
The Simple Truth The Christian faith is based on one thing and one thing only…the simple truth that Jesus is the only way to eternal life in Heaven. And His love wins out over all the sins of every person who ever lived or will live. A loving Christian will want you to know that truth, if you don’t already. But a loving Christian … The rest of the story…
How to escape a desert land Imagine you’re in a desert land…a terrible place with virtually no hope of getting out. No food or water or shelter. And no idea which way to go.

Tithing ten percent is one of the mosaic laws Could you live on 40% of what you make now? What about 30%? How about 20%? OK, let’s talk it all the way…could you live on 0%? I’m guessing you dropped out at the first question…unless you’re rich. And if you’re rich, you could possibly hang in there all the way to the 0% question. … The rest of the story…

You don’t know which day or hour will be your last. So every day is an opportunity for you to seek the wisdom that ensures eternal life. You’re a created being, and through God’s abounding Grace you’ve been given the freedom to choose…life…or death. And I’m not talking about this brief life and death scenario we see played out here on earth every day. … The rest of the story…
Your Worst Enemy
When you know who your worst enemy is, you’re better equipped to handle what he or she might toss in your direction. So, tell me…do you know who your worst enemy is? What if I tell you it’s you? Would you be surprised? Or would you slowly nod your head in quiet, understanding agreement? If you’ve lived more than a couple of decades, you’ve … The rest of the story…
When Love Is Not Enough
Contrary to the popular old saying…love does not conquer all. The existence of hell proves my point. I can love you with all the Christian love I can muster, and you might still despise and even hate me. And there’s nothing I can do about it if you do. I can’t force my will over your own. So…what do you do when love is … The rest of the story…
