Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come. 1 John 2:18
If you want a good clear understanding of media bias and out of context conjecture, then look no further than the Kirk Cameron interview with Piers Morgan. Continue reading

The Immoral Woman
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
I read this and it stuck in my mind. Continue reading
Trash the karma!
Now perhaps there are some Christians that believe in some lite-version of karma; maybe we’ll call it karmalite.
Remember that karma is the belief that if you do something evil, then you will get evil in return; and if you do good, you’ll get good in return.
So what good can anyone do? Continue reading
Don’t talk Karma – Talk Jesus
Gal 6:7 – Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Karma is a belief found in the Buddhist and Hindu religions.
It is the idea that how you live in this life will determine what kind of life you will have in the next life.
In other words, you reap in the next life what you sow in this one. Continue reading
Christ, not Karma!
It is a troubling trend on Facebook.
I see Christians saying things about Karma.
Let me be perfectly clear on this subject – no Christian has any business believing in, dabbling with, or mentioning Karma.
The theory of Karma is a fundamental doctrine in Buddhism, not Christianity. Continue reading
Marked!
They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. Rev 22:4
Remember the story The Scarlet Letter about a Puritan woman that committed adultery and was forced to wear a large “A” on her clothing as a sign to others of what she had done. Continue reading
What’d He call me?
I have been called many names in my life. With a name like Swanson you’re going to get called TV dinner, freezer man, the Schwann-man, and Swanee River.
With a name like Timothy you’ll get called Tim-bo, Timbuktu, Tim-buck-tooth, Timmy, Tim-Tim, and my favorite given to me by my cousin, Timpson.
And when I was young my parents loved to throw a few new names in the mix like Otis Timothy Michael O’Shea Gonzalez Pierre Swanson. (That one made me genealogically challenged when I was a kid) Continue reading
It’s only a number!
Do you have a favorite number?
I do, I always have. My preference is actually two numbers; 5 and 7 and probably stems from the fact that my birthday is May 7th.
There are many people that play a lottery using the same numbers over and over. And there have been a few instances of winners that played for years using the same series of numbers over and over. Continue reading
Let God’s Word Work In You!
I’ll be honest with you; sometimes I sit at my computer, praying, reading scripture, and staring at a blank page.
I think to myself, “What is wrong today? I can’t think of anything to say. I can’t write a Morning Thought if I don’t have any thoughts.” Continue reading
Put On Christ
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing… 1 Tim 2:9
Kylie Bisutti, a Victoria’s Secret lingerie model, recently quit that job because it conflicted with her Christian beliefs, and to save her body for her husband.
She will still model, but only in ways that honor the Lord. Continue reading
