What comes to mind when you hear about someone having a “love for truth”? Does that sound odd? We know what it means when someone has a love for their spouse, a love for their children, a love for certain sports teams, a love for certain food, etc. But, how can one have that same kind of “love” for truth–an inanimate object?…

Today is the day that we’ve been waiting for since 1985. Everyone wanted to know what the future would look like, and Marty McFly and Doc Brown made it look so thrilling. And, now we’re here. Unfortunately, we cannot open our garbage cans and find fuel for our cars. That would be nice! But, today holds better and more exciting opportunities than…

Does He care?” Read Psalm 34 and see what the Lord is ready to do for you every day. “He heard me” (34:4). “He delivered me from all my fears” (34:4). “The Lord heard…and saved him out of all his troubles” (34:6). “The Lord…
The most frequently played game among mankind today is the “waiting game.” We will put off (seemingly) whatever we can put off until the last possible moment when we can’t put it off anymore. But, unfortunately, too many people are playing that game with their spiritual life. Have you obeyed God’s plan of salvation and been baptized for the remission of your…
I want to ask a question that is one of those questions that often has the “automatic” or “expected answer” to it. “Well, of course, that’s my answer. How could it be any different?” But, could you take a moment and evaluate? Could you take a moment and measure your answer against God’s yardstick? In other words, if God were asked the…
