Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. … Continue reading Christianity in 3D

Have You?
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build … Continue reading Have You?

Busy?
The Busy Life of Jesus: (A.K.A. Doesn’t God know that I am busy?) We have created work cultures which are pushing people beyond their limits. When we look at our schedules, we doubt anyone is as busy as we are. To be completely honest, everyone else has it easy compared to me. Our calendars are … Continue reading Busy?

Here are four - count them - only Four … Continue reading Committing to Your Spouse

The Problem of Crime and Violence

Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable … Continue reading The Problem of Crime and Violence
