Study too much Bible?

I only got in on the last round of a new game show called The American Bible Challenge; but I liked it.
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy is the host and mixes a bit of humor with honoring God with questions on Bible knowledge and prize money for a charity. Continue reading

Remorse vs Repentance

After yesterday’s Greater Sin topic, the question arises about the outcome of Judas Iscariot, the one that betrayed Jesus.
The comment was made that Judas repented. Continue reading

In the picture

I’ve been scanning and posting old photographs on Facebook.
One such photo is one of my dad, two of his sisters, and me.
There the four of us were; frozen in time.
Someone else may be living in the house; the walls may have been painted and maybe new appliances have been bought, Continue reading

What is your reason?

The Apostle Paul was one of the greatest men when it came to upholding the Mosaic Law. Continue reading

No Burden of the Sabbath!

Is it a violation to not worship God on Sunday and not the Sabbath day?
It is written in Ex 20:8-11 – Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. Continue reading

Pesach, Passover, & Easter

Last time I said I was not a big fan of the word Easter.
