Are we the good Samaritan? Or the robber? We are all one or the other. There’s no saying that we’ve never been in the scenario Jesus painted. Because we’re in it. Right now. Every. Single. one. of. us. Everyone!
God versus religion: faith, love and trust in God
I’ve been doing this for more than a dozen years now. And I’ve never actually written anything on what the site is about. It seemed obvious to me. And yet, I guess it really isn’t obvious to everyone. Just like the Bible’s not obvious to everyone. So now, here’s God versus religion: faith, love and trust in God. What this site is really about.
Psalm 33 – The Lord is our help and our shield
The Psalm says, “We wait in hope for the Lord, He is our help and our shield”. But what does that really mean? The Lord is our help and shield to do what, exactly? What’s the goal? And who/what are we shielded from?

Will there be homeless people in Heaven? Who cares?
Will there be homeless people in Heaven? Who cares? Whoa! A two-part question. And trick questions at that? The correct answers are yes/no and yes. Huh? The answers may very well depend on how you read the question. And how you view life – or don’t. Are you up for this?
Are abortion bans the Christian thing to do?
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable. Some will question, it is constitutional? But my question goes to a higher level – are abortion bans the Christian thing to do?
Are earthquakes a warning from God to repent?
God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens. So says a U.S. Congresswoman. But really, are earthquakes a warning from God to repent?
