    Titus 3:3-6 (NKJV) 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which...

    Bluebirds are fun to watch

    I have had a bluebird house for many years now. This year it resulted in three families being raised [a family normally consists in about 4-5 eggs]. Now it is the fall season and too late for them to start a new family. However, it does not keep them from coming around to lay claim to the house...

    Scripture's meaning of God's Elect

    When scripture speaks of election, or “God's Elect”, what does this mean? I have seen posts which indicate that “God loves all and does not show favoritism”. So, does this indicated that the entire world is included in the “Elect of God” or does it speak of only God's chosen people? If it...

    Chigger

    You would think that since I live in Texas, I would be more careful when it comes to chiggers, but you would be thinking wrong. You see, chiggers are sneaky little creatures. They are generally not around in the fall, are long gone in winter, and it's pretty safe in the spring up until late...

    Assurance 0f God's Pardoning Grace

    It is always refreshing to read scripture which give us an assurance of God's Pardoning Graces! I'll start it off by posting Romans 5:20-21 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also...

    The Humanity of Christ

    Perhaps it is time to look at the humanity of Christ as well as his deity! I am sure that this has been discussed before, since it is very important to see both sides. Therefore, using the AI that I was born with, I have gathered below some thoughts on this subject. They are not my words, but...

    Our Education System

    Today was a busy day, so on the way back home I stopped at a Subway Sandwich Shop to get something to eat. I was greeted by a nice young lady who promptly made my sandwich then went to the register to collect payment. This is where the trouble began. She keyed in my order and told me...

    Thoughts on “Fear the Lord”

    We are instructed to fear the Lord: Deuteronomy 10:12-22 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of...

    Yesterday and Today

    Children in Colonial America used to learn this truth when they learned their alphabet in the New England Primer, when they said, “In Adam's fall, we sinned all”. If this is true, how different are the things being taught today! Our early history as a country was indeed wise when it came to...

    What Changed?

    What Changed? Assuming that you are a child of God, What was the event that resulted in this change? All people are conceived in sin and are born children of wrath, unfit for any saving good, inclined to evil, dead in their sins, and slaves to sin; without the grace of the regenerating Holy...

    Auto Stop or whatever it's called!

    I recently purchased a new car! I should say that I traded my 2010 Toyota RAV4 in for a newer (2020 Ford Escape with about 50,000 miles on it)! The new car has a feature that stops the engine when the car comes to a stop! I know that the feature can be disabled. However, you must disable the...
