Are you ready? God is coming. We don’t know when, but He will be here. At any moment. So it’s not even a question of “will you be ready”. No. It’s a question of “are you ready”. Now.
Psalm 24 – God Is Coming – Are You Ready?
The Problem Of The Miracle Hidden By Miraculous Healing
The problem of the miracle hidden by miraculous healing. Say what? Being healed by God, through prayer, is a miracle. What else could there possibly be? What could be more important than still being alive when death was at the door?
The Problem Of Healing … Or Not Healing … And Being Loved
The problem of healing … or not Healing. And being loved. By God. Healed or not. Thirteen years ago, I wrote something titled, “Healing (or not)”. Back then, it was strictly an analysis of what the Bible said. Now it’s 2023. I’ve had some experience with healing. And with not healing. It’s so much more real when it’s our own life depending on being healed. Or not healed.
Psalm 23 – Fear No Evil In The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. The 23rd Psalm says that. But is it for real? Can it really happen? Maybe for King David, who wrote the Psalm. But for us today?
Psalm 22 – Is Everyone Saved By Jesus’ Death?
Is everyone saved by Jesus’ death? That’s an idea that some people believe. Or at least want to believe. David appears to say everyone will be saved in Psalm 22. But did he really say that?

Will God give us the desires of our heart? David seems to pray for that to happen in Psalm 20Open in Logos Bible Software (if available). But is God like a genie or something? Can we rub His tummy or say some magic words and get whatever we wish for?
The Letter To The Lukewarm Church In Laodicea – Revelation
We move on to the seventh and final letter in Revelation. The end of the road, as far as the delivery of the Revelation given to John along the path of these seven churches. This time the letter is to the lukewarm church in Laodicea. Jesus has no good things to say to this church. Therefore, the examination will obviously be about what’s going wrong here. What did they do, or not do? How might they have achieved such good news from Jesus? And what can we learn for us today, both for our churches and for us as individuals?
Do entitled Christians make you want to avoid church?
Do entitled Christians make you want to avoid church? You know, for instance, people who say, I’m Christian so I can do whatever I want. I’ve been saved. I’m forgiven. Everything’s good, no matter what I do.
Psalm 19 – Stop And Smell The Roses – Then Love Their Creator
Stop and smell the roses. Then love their creator. We usually hear “stop and smell the roses”. But there’s so much more to life than “just” doing that. So much we miss out on if that’s “all” we do.
God and me - this life and the next
