COMMENTS In America today, the minority still tries to drive home the false narrative of a complete separation of church and state. The First Amendment directs that the Federal Government shall not establish a religion nor interfere with the free exercise of one’s religion, with few exceptions (Constitution Annotated. Free Exercise Clause – Overview) America was … More Devotion/Study – “He is Risen!” – 04/06/2026
The other day, when as I was loading my laptop, the “news” column had this amongst the headlines: “New Evidence that Jesus had a Brother.” I know I should not be amazed by the great lengths some will go to try to discredit the Bible, but this is a new one. Things like this ultimately … More Devotional/Study – “The Bible” – 04/01/2026
If you have followed my posts for any length of time, you know this is a frequent topic of mine. I am convinced that unless we are convinced that God is in complete control (Sovereign), we can not have a proper Biblical/Christian Worldview. Without a proper Biblical/Christian Worldview, we are no different than the Church … More Devotion/Study – “Chaos or Control” – 03/18/2026
I have passed by this church many times. One of the things I love about this building is that no one can mistake it for a strip mall (referring here to newly constructed facilities) or a self-storage facility. It boldly proclaims we are a church. Last week, we looked at Christians and Politics. Should “Christians” … More Devotion – “Large and in Charge” – 03/09/2026
The so-called separation of church and state has long been used to argue that those representing religious groups, organizations, etc., do not belong engaging in political activities. Of course, this is a farce. Here are two examples: Sometimes, a phrase takes on a life of its own and becomes so rhetorically powerful that it can … More Devotional/Study – “Persevering in Office” – 03/03/2026
As Christians, when we think about the law, the first thing that should come to mind is the Ten Commandments, not Lady Justice or the latest TV crime drama. In today’s devotional, the Colson Center discusses the foundation for the Law of the land. How can someone bring a charge against another if the court … More Devotional – “Law” – 02/03/2026
Today’s devotional and study is from the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. I have used their materials often because I agree with their view most of the time. Today is no exception. While this article focuses on the importance of Creeds, I think it could be expanded to include Catechisms and Confessions as well. Why … More Devotion/Study – “THREE C’s” – 01/22/2026
COMMENT The actual title of today’s devotion from the BCL Newsletter is Pietism vs. Piety — What’s the Difference? I must admit that, somewhere in my mind, tucked away in a place likely never to be recovered, I had heard of Pietism before, but this study opened my eyes to another facet of Christianity and … More Devotional – Experience vs. Holiness – 01/14/2026
I will not comment at length, but it is important to note that there are many views on what constitutes the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit.” A quick Google search for an image showed a majority of seven gifts, followed by nine, and some with lists so long I did not bother to count. I … More Devotional – “Gifts” – 01/13/2026
COMMENT I know very little about Mr. McConaughey other than he stars in films. I do, however, agree with his quote, which is germane to today’s Devotional/Study. I am also familiar with folks who feel life is not fair and they are entitled to privileges that are not promised to them by God or the … More Devotion/Study – “That’s not Fair” – 01/07/2026
