The Question of David’s Son

The Pharisees claimed to believe the word of God.  They had attached many traditions to their beliefs and practices; and probably due to this had become blind to who Jesus was and is.

A Spiritual Awakening

Reading Daniel 7 - 9 today I once again noticed the prayer of Daniel.  A prayer of repentance; a prayer of recognition of the holiness and righteousness of God.  Though the prayer is for the sins of Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem it seems very powerful even for the Christian of 2018. I share Daniel's prayer …

The Only Word of God

"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there …

Embracing Aging

I believe what many of the scholars of Scripture have taught over the years, about the time Solomon would have written this book of wisdom - Ecclesiastes -  that it was written in the latter years of his life.  The following verses are the reason for their conclusion and mine... "Remember now thy Creator in …
