Devotional – The Ways and Ends of the Wicked – 12/17/2025

December 17, 2025

The following is from my good friend (even though we have yet to meet), Steve. I find it very appropriate for the season. All we (in America at least) have to do is look around to see that the focus for Christmas is that of the wicked (those who know not Christ). There is a … More Devotional – The Ways and Ends of the Wicked – 12/17/2025

Devotion – “Method of Daily Prayer Part XI” –12/16/2025

December 16, 2025

Today we conclude our series of excerpts from “Matthew Henry on a Practical Method of Daily Prayer.” These will be without the usual comments and study references. My hope is that people will be like the Bereans, as described in Acts 17:11, and will put Henry’s writing to the test. Cut & Paste or Type Method of Daily Prayer in the … More Devotion – “Method of Daily Prayer Part XI” –12/16/2025

Earning God’s Approval: Good Luck With That! – 12/15/2025

December 15, 2025

Posted by Todd Linn, PhD on December 8, 2025 James says: “For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). Given the examples provided in these verses, it seems clear that James has in mind what we often describe as the “moral law” in the Old Testament. Much … More Earning God’s Approval: Good Luck With That! – 12/15/2025

Survey – “Charlie Kirk’s Death” – 12/11/2025

December 11, 2025

GENESIS 50:20 For the most part, the assassination of Charlie Kirk shocked the nation. Yes, some left-wing nuts attempted to change the scenario, but that is today’s norm. I never met Charlie, but I supported him and his ministry. He had a gift, an ability to stay calm and respond to those who tried to … More Survey – “Charlie Kirk’s Death” – 12/11/2025

Devotion/Study – “Discernment” – 12/08/2025

December 8, 2025

1 John 4 1 John 4:1 COMMENTS and COMMENTARIES I have often written on this doctrine because I am convinced discernment should be a part of every Christians daily life. It is how we make judgments based upon our Biblical worldview. Look at the progression of Webster’s dictionary below. Note that no negative connotation (discrimination) … More Devotion/Study – “Discernment” – 12/08/2025

Devotion -“The Radicalization No One’s Talking About” – 12/06/2025

December 6, 2025

COMMENT/COMNTARY The author makes some great points about how liberalism has invaded the ranks of young women in recent years. I am convinced, and he seems to imply this is in large part due to the enormous gains of liberalization within the ranks of Evangelical churches. The following link leads to a September 2025 article … More Devotion -“The Radicalization No One’s Talking About” – 12/06/2025

Friday’s Feature Quote – “Righteous Anger” – 12/05/2025

December 5, 2025

COMMENTS Three (3) topics within today’s quote need further unpacking. They are Suffering, and the Author of Suffering, and Righteous Anger. Why is it that some within the “ranks” of Christianity falsely claim that believers should not suffer? If they do suffer, then just like Job’s “friends,” they advise that it can only be because … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “Righteous Anger” – 12/05/2025

Opinion – “Christianity at It’s Worst” – 12/03/2025

December 3, 2025

You just can’t make this up! The following article focuses on a supposedly “Christian” church in Illinois that decided to display a nativity scene. While I usually would have skipped over another nativity scene, the title piqued my interest. First, it may be helpful to understand where I stand on the matter: There are several … More Opinion – “Christianity at It’s Worst” – 12/03/2025
