Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful. With this poetic line, the psalmist shows a progression towards sin. At first, the man might casually walk with the [...]
From something I wrote a couple of months ago…. Today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. My city took in about 3,000 of the refugees, so the local newspaper did a feature about where they are now. They were poor, taken from their homes having lost everything they had. Placed in the southwest desert and [...]

How they dont experience the Lord. How they dont hear Him. How they cant feel Him. They wonder, as she did, is He real? [...]

“The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun. The brightness of our life is gone.” – Henry Wadesworth Longfellow Today I stumbled across this quote in some papers I was sorting through from a long while ago. It struck me how true it is of my life recently but yet [...]
For whatever reason, no one seems to have an interest it writing another blog. I wrote my last one, largely so I didn’t have to see my previous one. I am writing this one, for the same reason. With that kind of motivation, don’t have high expectations.I am wondering why the other admins, are not [...]
I got tired of seeing my last blog, as the latest blog, so I did another to bump my position. I came in at the tail end of a conversation in chat one night, not long ago, it was close to venomous between a few, or at least in seemed to me to be so. [...]

I thought I would share it with you, along with some commentary from Albert Barnes Commentary of the Bible. 2Thessalonians 3:13 But you, brothers, do not be weary in well doing. The idea is, that they were not to be discouraged from doing [...]
