A sad statistic indeed . . .

I appreciate the good work Ed Stetzer and his staff does to keep a finger on the pulse of the Southern Baptist Convention. There are others, such as George Barna, who do so on the public at large. Their work in interesting, some of it challenging but, quite honestly, some of their work makes me [...]

Always the Last to Know . . .

Okay, I have to set forth the basis for this post.

First, I don’t go to the grocery store that much.

Secondly, I’m sometimes the last to notice certain things. I was in my mid-thirties before I realized the tune for the “ABC Song” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” was one and the same. (Are you done [...]

A Religious “Vaccination”

Well, it will soon be time for that annual medical migration to the clinics, doctor’s offices, drug stores, etc. to get the flu vaccine.

Joy comes from within – happiness relies upon circumstances, or external factors. It is a joy to walk with [...]

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (Part 2)

I’d like to get back to the comparison of the phrase – “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” to I John 1:1-4.
In this second post, let’s look at LIBERTY (vv. 2-3)
The Church of God consists of His people. You can build a building and put the name church on it, but that does [...]

Life on Mars?

Well, last night’s evening news showed some scientists at NASA who were simply giddy over the “discovery” of water on Mars. This, they posited, was evidence that life could exist on Mars, because water is essential to life. I’m no physicist (bio-, astro- or otherwise) however, I do have a couple of questions:
