The technology of salvation

I have an iPhone 4S, which comes with Siri.
Siri is a speech-recognition computer application. It has both speech input and output, meaning you can speak to it, and it can speak back to you.
You speak to Siri to ask it questions and give it commands, such as small tasks that you’d like it to complete. Continue reading

Not all swords are equal!

Something caught my eye as I read this in Proverbs; For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey and her mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell. Lest you ponder her path of life — Her ways are unstable; you do not know them. Prov 5:3-6
What catches my eye? Continue reading

Rocks from the sky

Late yesterday afternoon it barely missed us, though it was still 195,000 miles away, flying between our planet and the moon.
But in the vast expanse of the universe, that’s rather close.
Asteroid 2005YU55 has been on the radar of astronomers for quite a while. Continue reading

My sister – my friend

The apostle Paul told the young pastor, Timothy, do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity. 1 Tim 5:1-2
As an only child I’ve always suffered with the brotherly love idea since I do not know the love of a brother. Continue reading

Partying in Heaven

I was in a cemetery when a headstone caught my eye.
It was adorned with unopened beer cans; but it doesn’t end there.
Engraved on the headstone was “partying in heaven!”
I guess I should not be too surprised. Continue reading

You can’t stop God!

A board of county commissioners in North Carolina can no longer pray in Jesus’ name!
For years, the board has extended an open invitation to religious leaders from the community to volunteer a prayer before its twice-monthly meetings, asking only that the invocations would not be an effort to proselytize or belittle other faith or belief. Continue reading

Read with your eyes – Read with your ears

Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them. 1 Tim 4:13 NLT
Last night I was reminded of an important part of my relationship with God – reading.
Sure, I read the Bible every day but last night’s Bible study reminded me of the importance of it. Continue reading

Agreement

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3
What do you believe the Bible says about losing your salvation, apathy, and backsliding?
Now those topics could spark some debates but I had a great conversation with someone the other day about those very topics. Continue reading

Deer season! Dear me!

I notice more people wearing camouflage the past few days and stocking up on snacks, drinks, and deer corn.
It can only indicate one thing; deer season is here again.
I have also witnessed many cases of beer being purchased by the same people. Continue reading

Your talent from God

Last week I wrote about Top Shot Season 3 winner Dustin Ellerman.
I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing him for the radio.
He is a super nice, humble guy.
Of course the subject of Top Shot came up and I asked him had he ever competed in any shooting contest. Continue reading
