Here’s a worldview definition. See if it’s how you’d describe it. That’s a fair worldview definition. But it makes it seem like a worldview happens to you by your circumstances or surrounding. I prefer to believe you shape your worldview. It doesn’t shape you. What I mean by that is…you choose to believe facts and figures or fantasy. Choose is the operative word. No … The rest of the story…
There’s a couple of verses in the Bible that say I can know I’ll receive from the Lord “the reward of the inheritance”. I don’t feel like I deserve any inheritance, but thankfully it doesn’t depend on how I feel. No, I don’t feel like I “serve the Lord Christ” very well. Do you ever (or always) feel like that? I mean…I know I … The rest of the story…
In spite of the efforts of some of the best so-called “free thinkers” the fact remains…God is not dead. I know atheists and other non-believers acknowledge “God is dead” as simply a metaphor or some other figure of speech. They say they have to phrase it that way so we simple-minded Christians will catch their drift. I’ve often said you don’t need to commit … The rest of the story…
This is just how it is…you’ll be a short time here but a long time gone. When you die, no one here ever sees you again. Have you ever noticed that? You don’t get to come back as a bug, a bird, or even a dog. And even if you did…no one would know it was you. So what would be the point? “Well, what’s … The rest of the story…
My faith, hope, and love for my fellow human beings inspired me to write a song and sing about how we need THE Truth… …but the world doesn’t care. Have you ever taken an early Sunday morning drive when it felt like the rest of the world was still inside eating breakfast? And didn’t that morning feel peaceful and full of quiet assurance? This … The rest of the story…
When you get right down to it, it’s pretty easy to get mad at someone. Right? And I mean anyone. No one is born with a natural immunity to anger. So, each person needs to be fortified with something stronger and better than “self”. For Christians this is easier because we know we have the Word of God. And if you don’t already have … The rest of the story…
Even as a boy I was always fascinated by birds…and cloud formations, and shooting stars in a sky full of blinking lights. I wasn’t thinking about how focusing on things above me could keep my spirit uplifted. I just knew those things up there were amazing. There’s a place in the Bible where it says to “Set your mind on things above, not on … The rest of the story…
What God is not When you talk to little kids about where we came from and how we got here, they’re really “open” to the discussion. In other words, they’re like sponges. They’ll soak up whatever information you give ’em. And it’s vitally important to describe who, what, and how He is to us. But it’s just as important to let them know what … The rest of the story…
The Bible makes two main and distinct points about seeing God. On the one hand God, himself, says, “You cannot see my face, for no man can see Me and live“. So, no one has seen God. On the other hand Jesus said, “He who has seen me has seen the Father“. And to take this one step further…even though we may not see … The rest of the story…
Science has shown us the earth revolves around the sun. So, scientifically speaking…there is no such thing as a sunrise. But for those of us who know we were created by a living, loving, artful God…the sun does rise. A sunrise is a metaphor, an allegory, or even a simile. It’s how our creative minds “see” things. Either as we’d like them to be…or … The rest of the story…
