One Nation Under God – Same Sex Marriages

One Nation Under God – Same Sex MarriagesWhat are God’s laws concerning homosexuality? God repeatedly propounded his laws upon Moses, who later wrote in the book of Leviticus (which literarily means “the law”) that:“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus 18:22; If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. Leviticus 20:13.Sodom and Gomorrah were two legendary biblical cities destroyed by God for their populace practicing homosexuality. Their story parallels the Genesis flood narrative in its theme of God's anger provoked by man's sin (see Book of Genesis 19:1–28). The word sodomy is derived from the word Sodom.God’s destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was not the only instance of…

Will You Rise From Your Own Tomb?

On Easter, when millions of believers around the world remember the death and resurrection of our Messiah, Jesus Christ, some may be amazed to learn that a very famous Bible verse dealing with this event has secret and hidden meanings to the event that make the it ever so more wonderful. According to famous Christian author, Joe Kovacs, who has highlighted and revealed the unseen content of Scripture, there is more to the scripture written in John 20:1 than meets the eye.In the 20th chapter of the Gospel of John, there is a line in question where it states "On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb" (John 20:1 CSB). Joe Kovacs, the author of the new best-seller,…

God’s Path Vs Satans Path

Gods Path Not MineIn my research to answer my friends question, “why do I feel great leaving church, resolved to do all the right things and before the middle of the week, I end up doing many of same things that send me to church again on Sunday,’ I turned to the best authority on researching a theological question, the bible.I also determined that my friends question also touched on psychology, which led me to research literature written by respected Christian psychologists. The Bible My research from extensive reading of the bible, led me to the conclusion that the bible, although quite lengthy, in summary explains that Satan corrupted the minds of two perfect people, who all of us can trace our ancestry back to. The fact is, no matter what race you are and or where you are…

Battleground – Your Mind

I wrote this article many years ago. I wish I could take credit for all of it, but it is in fact taken from several ministers, including Joyce Meyer.I am again publishing this article because of a comment a long-time friend of mine made about the original that was lost when this website was viciously hacked back in 2021.A little history. When I returned to Texas back in 2012, I had not seen my friend in many years but he often communicated with my wife on Facebook. When he learned I was living in Galveston, he suggested that we get together for lunch. Although I consider Mike (actual name omitted) a very good and lone time friend, I told my wife in response to her telling me his suggestion. “I wonder what he wants now?” In response to…

Systemic Racism – A Lesson From The Book of Jonah

Today, many people contend that systemic racism continues to exist in our communities and within our Christian congregations. Racism can be defined as what makes some people see others with suspicion or to attribute negative characteristics to an entire group of people. This type of evil manifests itself in many peoples’ individual thoughts, and also in the workings of our society itself. Many people today protest that what they perceive as continuing inequalities in education, housing, employment, wealth, and representation in leadership positions are rooted in what they believe is America’s shameful history of slavery and systemic racism. There is no argument that during the 1950s and 1960s, black Americans fiercely struggled to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. However, people seeing others with suspicion or attributing negative characteristics to an entire group of…

Christians Under Attack

Christians Under Attack H.R. 5 As Christian’s, we must be concerned about H.R. 5. We must be deeply disturbed by many of the provisions of H.R. 5 and the violations of your inalienable rights that will occur if it is permitted to become law. I urge you to oppose H.R. 5. As people of faith, we must be particularly concerned about Section 9 of H.R. 5, which would deny all US citizens the protections of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This is a blatant attack on our right to free exercise of religion that has been part of the First Amendment since the founding of our country. There is absolutely no reasonable justification for a bill that claims to be aimed at preventing discrimination and promoting equal treatment to promote discrimination against people of faith.…

Dealing With Life’s Problems

Satan continues to attack us with unexpected problems. The problems we face as a Christians will either defeat us or strengthen our faith - depending on how we respond to them. Unfortunately, when under attack from Satan, most people fail to see how God will use problems to bring out the good in our lives. We often will act foolishly and resent our problems rather than pausing to consider what good may ultimately come from them. If you’re over the age of 5 years old, then you’ve probably already figured out that life can be very challenging at times. Financial problems, pain in relationships, and even tragedies are part of everyday life. It is no wonder that Jesus told His disciples, “Take courage. There are many storms in this life.” “But take heart, I…

Coffee Tastes The Best When Its Free

I know that it is difficult sometimes to look past your own problems to recognize problems other people are experiencing. Several days ago, after leaving one of my frequent trips to the hospital, I decided to treat myself to a cup of my favorite coffee. When I got to the window to pay, the young clerk informed me that the customer who was ahead of me had paid for my coffee. I was truly blown away by this strangers kindness because I had never seen this person in my life before. Her kindness reminded me of a time that my dad handed me $2,500.00, instructing me to give it to a total stranger. I took that money and placed it in the mailbox of an elderly woman who I knew struggled to pay for decent food to eat. …

Hate in America

Inspiration HATE IN AMERICA I often wonder if the majority of America went to sleep one night and awoke the next morning with a new found animosity for others. Arguably, our country has never been more divided than it is today. Literally tens of thousands of people are uncharacteristically violently acting out against others who don’t share their same beliefs. Political beliefs appear to be at the core of our current fighting amongst each other A Persons Political Beliefs Does Not Make Someone a Good or Bad Person The fact is that God has made us all unique. We were all born as blank slates. What we believe and how we feel about certain things, are often a direct result of our life experiences. Our lives would be very boring if the people we have encountered in our…
