How can I leave you again? Some of you will recognize that question as the title of a John Denver song. Others will be reminded of someone. But who? Who can we leave, return to, and the lyrics to the song apply?
How can I leave you again?
The problem of “church words” no one else understands
Church words. They are a problem. A big problem. We (Christians) use words that we learn in church. We know what they mean. But that doesn’t mean everyone else does. It’s like slang words/phrases – figures of speech.
Which came first – the chicken or the egg? Why?
It’s an age-old question. One of life’s great mysteries. Which came first – the chicken or the egg? It’s stumped people for a long time – apparently – because scientists are still working on it. At least they were up until a couple days ago. It’s all figured out now. Finally – maybe I can get some sleep at night now, instead of pondering this great question!
Anyone looking for a New Year’s resolution?
Is anyone looking for a New Year’s resolution? I’ve got one for you. If you have the nerve to accept it. Many people love to play video games that simulate battles between good and evil. Simulate life and death. But hey – this one’s for real.
Do you know – what is Advent about?
It’s Advent season. But do we know what it is? What is Advent is about? For instance, do we realize that the first Advent has come and gone, and now we’re waiting for the second Advent?

What Is A Pop Tart Christian?
I read the quote above and immediately thought about pop tarts. Unlike the picture on the left, there was practically nothing inside. Very little filling compared to the dough.

Someone who doesn’t allow the Holy Spirit to fill them and guide their lives.
Do the ends justify the means with Donald Trump?
So here’s my question. For a Christian, should the ends justify the means with Donald Trump? Notice, I wrote should, not do. Truth be told, for many Christians, Trump’s ends do justify the means. But should they?
Did God Forsake You If Cancer Surgery Isn’t 100% Successful?
Never will I leave you or forsake you. I suppose pretty much every Christians knows that line. But do we believe God will never forsake us and do we live like we believe it?
What is the source of knowledge? True knowledge?
What is the source of knowledge? And I mean of true knowledge? Not just information. Not someone’s version of “their truth” or what someone else “knows”. No, I mean real, honest-to-goodness true knowledge. Remember when that used to exist?
The Great Commission apparently isn’t so great anymore
The Great Commission apparently isn’t so great anymore. I feel like that must make God cry. And yet, it doesn’t seem to bother many Christians these days. And why should it? Apparently, they don’t even know what it is. And way too many Christians have never even heard of the Great Commission! So sad.
God and me - this life and the next
