Once I became an adult, I began to participate in activities reserved for adults; drinking, watching adult movies, etc. It certainly seemed like the “natural” thing, and the “adult” thing, to do. This is what I waited for, right? In time though I began to see that perhaps drinking wasn’t all it was cracked up […]
Some expert advice on love
At the age of nine, most boys know just enough about girls to know that they don’t like them and want nothing more to do with them. The idea of getting advice on love from someone who has never experienced love and yet is strongly opposed to it seems pretty ridiculous, doesn’t it? What real […]
Jesus saves
“Jesus saves.” I’d seen these words for years, sometimes on signs on the highway, sometimes just scrawled on a building or bridge in spray paint. I always thought it was just the work of some simple-minded religious nut. Jesus saves who from what, and how? He’s been dead for 2,000 years, right? I always thought […]
Christ or The Da Vinci Code?
“The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown contains a fascinating blend of fact and fiction from art, history, mathematics and theology, all woven into a fast-paced murder mystery. Even though it’s a work of fiction, Brown uses all this to lead the reader to a shocking conclusion about Jesus Christ and the validity of the […]
Christianity and Anti-Semitism
For 2,000 years now, Christians have viewed by many as being anti-Semitic. This once seemed very logical to me. If you’re for one thing, you must be against another, right? It would seem that this would apply to anything from forms of religion or government to your favorite team in the Super Bowl. Once I […]
Elvis vs Jesus: Other Similarities
No message here, just a little bit of fun that I couldn’t resist passing on. Here are some other good-natured similarities between Jesus and Elvis. (Note: if this is the only page you’ve visited on this site, please click HERE before sending feedback.) Jesus said: “Love thy neighbor.” (Matthew 22:39) Elvis said: “Don’t be cruel.” […]
But I got straight A’s in school!
The impact of teachings on perception and belief. I was a very good student from grade school through college. I was able to learn just about anything my teachers and textbooks told me and repeat it back quite successfully in my homework and tests. And for this they called me “intelligent.” Through my education, I […]
Letters received
I am speechless. In my humble opinion, this is one of “evangelism’s” greatest kept secrets. You really know how to “put the cookies on the lowest shelf” (where they can be reached). Thank you for your wonderful testimony about God and Jesus as the Saviour. I am a true believer of Christ whom I accepted […]
Tuning in to God
Broadening your spiritual bandwidth. Fans at a football game found themselves perplexed by the seemingly random cheers of other fans at the game. The home team was losing badly, yet in the middle of a huddle a number of people across the stadium jumped out of their seats and a let out a huge cheer. […]
The Wind and the Waves
Read Sailboats and Rowboats before reading this story. Today was a new beginning for Bud, the first day in a new journey. He had been preparing for this for months, maybe years, and was quite sure that he had found the key to the life of peace he had always wanted. He pulled his boat […]
