For many of us who were raised in families where morality and religion guide our personal lives, it’s hard to comprehend how completely corrupt Sodom and Gomorrah had become – “…their sin is very grave” (Gen. 18: 20). Abraham was concerned about his extended family and any others who may have...

Thank you. I barely made it through the eulogy and balled my eyes out with her family when i walked off stage - that was a tough one. I love your artwork. It reminds me of Joan of Arc!

I’ve had plenty of experience with having too much alcohol to drink. While I enjoy beer and whisky in moderation, if I go beyond the line, the results are not good, and I feel the effects the next day especially. Both sides of my family are filled with alcoholics, and my dad made me go to...

Ruth 1:1-2 New King James Version 1 Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his...

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 King James Version 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. What a...

Like any good thing, research and writing can be carried to an extreme. Solomon learned this the hard way, and I’ve been down that road myself throughout my academic career. With all of Solomon’s wisdom that he gathered throughout the years, he was a man of deep sorrow in the end. He made the...

As twilight blanketed the dance floor and audience lining the tables, I knew the “Sturgeon Moon” would be rising from the East. A quick glance over my shoulder to my wonderful beacon on the hill portrayed a slice of that sphere taking shape quickly above my community college building where I...

A few quick thoughts as I look to wrap up this study in the near future: how do I best summarize this incredible inspirational insight into human nature and God’s redeeming plan? I always told my students that sometimes it’s best to set our research and writing aside and let it marinate a...

Yes, post 316 :)

Excellent - I did not make that connection listening to the rendition even though I've listened to "Hey Jude" dozens of times. Very nice!

"Hey Jude" Would not have guessed that one.

"All You Need is Love"? Beautiful song, and I love the Asian flavor.

I listened to this masterpiece last night, and it is my favorite Zeppelin album. It's filled with love songs including "In the Evening" that showcases their awesome rock-n-roll slam dunk knock you on your rear end jamming, "Fool in the Rain" is one of their best with a bluesy/jazzy flavor, and...

There are different perspectives on the resurrections. The lineup that makes the most sense to me is: 1. The resurrection of the saints at Christ's return (I Thess. 4:15-17; Rev. 20:4-5) 2. The resurrection after the Millenium (Rev. 20:5; 11-13) "great white throne" 3. The final resurrection...

Solomon’s proverbs are absolutely astounding, and wisdom is a key theme. If you haven’t read the book of Proverbs or it’s been awhile, I highly recommend it. Here are a few kernels I picked out: Proverbs 9:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is...
