Happy birthday to your daughter! I’m 40 also. Very sorry to hear about the loss of your son, that must have been terrible. Blessings to you and your family as well.

The sun was already low but it found its way between tall buildings to shine some light on my wife and the presecious little someone she was holding in her arms as they wheeled her out of the hospital. Our two-day-old daughter was sleeping, blissfully unaware of the world she had come to live...

I very much enjoy reading your poetry. Very creative and inspiring.

Yes, by the Grace of God and in His infinite wisdom, that order happens too. However, most of the time it’s the painstaking process of removing ourselves (our egos) first, in order to let Him do everything else. We must decrease and He must increase. But, if we go by TULIP, the “U” argues...

Too visible to see, and I’m too blind to notice. Too loud to hear, and I’m too deaf to listen. Too tangible to touch, and I’m too dull to feel. Such are we, You and I, my Lord Grant me sight, or teach me how to see. Oh my brightest Light! Grant me hearing, or teach me how to hear. Oh my...

True, but there is also a sense of rejection of some the core Christian teachings. Resurrection, for instance. Such a phenomenon could never be proven using the conventional historical methodology. But without the Resurrection, there is no Christianity, without Resurrection nothing is resolved...

Thank you very much for these words of encouragement. You’ve summed up well my entire approach. I love and care for my wife dearly, but nothing would ever come before God. I would never leave her, but could also never seize to be a Christian for the sake of my marriage. Sometimes I feel this is...

Exactly the same case here. I was a firm atheist when we met and throughout our marriage, until a year ago. Now that I’m a follower of Christ, I think back to my prior life and feel like I’ve carried the flame all along, I just didn’t know it or didn’t want to confront it. It’s the hardest...

Call me names... Say bad things about me... Deny me as I am... Think less of me... I will not be hurt, nor will I be offended. Not because I don’t value myself, but because I know I carry value. My Lord is my value! Others only care to be valued. He brings “I” Others only debate the false...

Has anyone dealt with this issue or know anyone that has? I understand it’s quite common both ways. I’m well aware of Paul’s teaching on this. Thoughts, advise, and constructive feedback are much appreciated. Thanks folks.

Very true. Revisionism is everywhere today. I don’t see how some modern agendas can be justified in the light of such clear scriptural teachings that state otherwise, and 2,000 year old tradition that also says otherwise. But if put the meaning in, rather than extract the meaning out, everything...

Thank you for this great response. I’m with you all the way and have used this approach in defense of Fatih. It always works because it is logical and reasonable. The book Historical Jesus really opened my eyes to this entire discourse. The argument that miracles do not exist is based on the...

Thanks for your response. I’m thinking the same way more and more. I’ve seen most of what the “experts” have to say and have not been impressed. My faith is firm, time to dive deep into it.

Well said, that is the risk. But the risk is almost nonexistent once we have been instructed in the matters of Scripture and have the firm and correct understand of what they are, how they came about and who wrote them. I watch these shows partially for information (for I do believe something...

I’m watching a documentary about the life of Jesus Christ. It is astounding how little the supposed experts (secular scholars of high rank) know about the historicity of Gospels, the very books they attempt to study. “...Words like ‘Father, why have You forsaken me’ are put in Jesus mouth by...

Completely agreed. This was written before that realization was born in me.

The dead were collected at the town's main theater, of all places. To some this might have been an insolent gesture, but under the wartime circumstances, it was the only facility large enough to accommodate the number of killed. A large crowd gathered around the building. Some were there to...

Very deep and meaningful. A promise but a also bit of warning as well at the end.

A beautiful poem. “Great is the mystery of our faith,” as it is said in the pastoral epistle. We should leave alone things beyond our knowledge.

I only want to know You, only You, nobody but You... and only through You to know everything else. Without You sun is still the sun, but it doesn’t draw us out. River is still a river, but it doesn’t foster memories. Ocean is still an ocean, but it doesn’t have its mysteries. Without You...
