Jesus said this about light and darkness, what is good and what is bad: (Luke 11:33-36) 33 “No one lights a lamp and then puts it in a cellar nor under a basket [hiding the light], but [instead it is put] on the lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 The eye […]

The well-guarded soul
Since I am born again into a new life in Christ, I’m not only human, after all. Never again. Through Christ I am now a new creation of God, and He, by the Holy Spirit, has a special place inside my soul. Like no other “god” could have done, He made my spirit alive so […]
Yeah, What he said!
Opinion’s worth your time… I will be adding more periodically (and republishing this page). What he said: The Frank Jenner Story by Stephen Tucker.

The Rich Mindset of God
It is so easy to slip into other “mindsets”. You know how it is. For instance, my family moved to another country… and within months the four of us began to change. Each of us began to adopt new ways. My mind began to see into another way of thinking. Our ways have been enriched […]
Looking For Loopholes
…not believing in Jesus – it’s so easy What loopholes have you found? Those convincing arguments that keep you from following Jesus – they’re so easy, are they not? Where do you start, in this quest to justify yourself? What do you say to yourself and others, to convince yourself in your philosophy of life? […]
Baptism in the Bible
About Baptism: 1. Baptism was commanded by Christ: Matthew 28:18-20. (Also read passage in the list below: Major Passages on Baptism) 2. Baptism is done in His name. It is to be done “in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit“: Matthew 28:18-20. 3. Baptism does not save you. Baptism […]
Unbeliefism
I am amazed by the lack of desire to know what is really true. You see this “unbeliefism” against Christian belief all over the internet. “Unbeliefism” is a created word combining “unbelief” and “ism”, meaning: an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or state of not believing, lack of faith, skepticism, especially in matters of religious […]
Peaceful Easy Feeling
How peaceful, lying here at night, knowing all is well with Christ my Lord. What an incredibly peaceful, easy feeling I have in my inner soul. The Bible tells me I am right with God. I have been born again. I am a new creature now, changed by God, made brand new — and I […]
Writing About Religion
-commentary about the March 11, 2016 article, How Christianity explains Trump, by writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry. Very interesting how major writers write about religion in our country. I am always interested when they write about my faith, to see if they get it right. Some really get it wrong. They write as if they know what the […]
All Ways Lead To God
Wouldn’t it be nice! Wouldn’t it be nice if all ways led to God? We could think or do or act or behave and philosophize to our hearts content. Anything would be fine – because all ways lead to God. But if we examine the Bible, we see that God has established His ways, and […]
Why Believe Such Stupididiotic Things?!
If you asked directions to somewhere specific, would you believe the guy if he told you, “All roads lead there, just take any road you see”? What kind of an idiot would you be! If you asked your doctor for a medication to take away heart-burn, would you believe the guy if he told you, […]
Realities God Has Established
…Your Beliefs vs. God’s Realities Remember playing as a child, making-up fantasy scenarios? I was constantly pretending. I was a knight in shining armor conquering all! I was a race car driver with my matchbox cars buzzing down the road I’d scraped into the dirt! I was thinking myself into my own little world. I […]
The Dumbass Lamb
Dumb is as dumb does, not as dumb could have been. The dumb lamb is exactly what God created him to be. And I tend to think that God created the lamb, as-is, in order to illustrate to us just how we look! God characterizes us Christians as lambs, and the Devil as a roaring […]

Are You Seeking God?
Satan blinds the eyes of seekers, those who want to know more about the Creator, those who wonder, “Could it be God who made all this?” And he takes away. Satan “takes away the word” which is sown in their hearing. Luke 8:12 Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the […]
Humbleness Before God
One might ask: What might the Church have done that could have slowed down today’s relativism and our entitlement culture? The answer: Nothing. God set His Church in motion, right behind Christ’s death, right? So everything was optimal for us. The Holy Spirit now indwelt the believer. All the teachings were there for us. All […]

Useless and Worthless
I remember being in a St. Joseph Hospital bed for a few weeks, having a cancerous brain tumor just removed and not really knowing how long I would live. It was an awful feeling being in the bed and not being able to do anything but just lay there. My wife and family came to […]
When Life Just Doesn’t Seem Fair
Imagine in your mind that you are a young girl with the hopes of one day getting married, having children, and being part of a family that loves God and wants to serve others. And as you grow up you do everything right, or almost what you think is right (Romans 3:23). And you […]
Being Christian
What’s it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. Case Study. Like, take John: all his life he has struggled with sexual temptations. Every single day, except maybe when he has a cold or the flu, or is just plain in a foul mood, John has sexual temptations of one sort or […]
Jesus Paid It All
…a simple explanation of the Christian Faith Before time, God was, and He was all there was. Then God created Man. God´s nature is perfect, inviolate, greater than any other. He was (and is) Justice, and His system was (and is) unchangeable. Then Man sinned, violating God´s system of justice. God demands justice. There was […]
