COMMENT I have often written on the subjects of “Christians and Their Duty to Government” and “Government and Its Duty to the People.” The preface to today’s article states: Romans 13 isn’t a slogan or a scare tactic; it’s a doctrine.

COMMENT As I glanced over the Beautiful Christian Life January monthly newsletter (attached), I tried to remember the last time I seriously thought about Holiness. I often think of it in the context of God’s sovereignty, but rarely the Holiness of God as its own doctrine or how it applies to you and me. Oh, … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Holiness” – 01/18/2026
Our quotes for today emphasize the duty of every Christian. We are to read our Bibles daily so we may grow spiritually, be refreshed, and receive the guidance we need for our Christian walk.

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
I never thought, 20 or so years ago, when I first read some of Edwards’ works, that I would have much in common with him. The older I get, however, and as this drawing shows, we actually have something very much in common. Oh, for certain, I am not claiming to be the great preacher … More Monday Humor (+) – 01/12/2026

The fictional wall separating “Church and state” became a real issue some 30 or 40 years ago.

While we differed in our interpretation of Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Church, we were still Americans and treated … More Study – “Wall of Seperation”- 01/10/2026
