We often ask but forget to just thank Him

Jesus loved sharing parables as a method of teaching Truth principles. But occasionally His stories appear to be somewhat strange and even harsh. It is necessary to delve a little deeper, to identify the metaphysical interpretation and how it applies to our lives. Continue Reading »

“New and Improved!” “New Super Giant Extra Maximum King Size!” “Fresher Than the Leading Competitor!” Soon marketers will have to create new words in order to grab our attention and sell their products. Hopefully, we can see beyond the hype and investigate their claims for ourselves. Continue Reading »

A balloon salesman was selling balloons on the streets of Mobile, Alabama one October day. He sold them in multi-colored packets of various sizes of balloons. He also sold helium-filled balloons. When business was slow he would twist the balloons and create animal and flower shapes. Continue Reading »

Over 100 million people in the USA, about 1 in 2, have a chronic illness. That means, if you are not the one suffering from chronic pain, chances are someone you care about is dealing with it silently. Continue Reading »

Children are takers, when an offering is made. And as adults we are happy to oblige under certain conditions. Children are not immune to constantly reaching for the goodies of lifecandy, toys, and clothes—under the watchful gaze of their parents. Continue Reading »

Why does God allow suffering? This is the age-old question of Christians and non-Christians alike, and it’s unlikely to be answered to anyone’s satisfaction this side of heaven. Even though I’m just an ordinary guy, I’d like to take a stab at it. Continue Reading »

There is a wonderful story that illustrates the advice Jesus gave His followers when He sent them out to tell people the good news - the news that the Kingdom of God is within. It’s about a struggle between the Wind and the Sun, about who was the most powerful. The Wind thought he was stronger because of his destructive might in twisters, hurricanes, sand storms, and electric storms. He pointed out his ability to turn a simple cigarette or lightning strike into a horrific forest fire which could destroy hundreds of thousands of acres of woods. Continue Reading »

Popular opinion in these early years of the twenty-first century has assailed our minds with “politically correct” sentiment. In keeping with this viewpoint a garbage man ought to be dubbed a “sanitation engineer” and a short person is not short he is “vertically challenged.” Even the term thief might offend so we should adopt the more tolerant “ethically disoriented.” This paradigm bares its true farcical colors when traffic signs are marked in Braille so the blind aren’t offended!

For many people, the Book of Job is a difficult book. It tells the story of a righteous man who loses everything dear to him, who suffers horribly, who seems defeated by the very God he worships. Let’s take a quick look at Job’s story. We only have space for a few pieces of his story although our journey will take us through the entire book of Job, chapters 1 thru 42. Continue Reading »

Let me set the foundation of our study and research with the Scripture passage from Genesis 1:26-28, which shows the original purpose with which the Lord created us:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Continue Reading »

You might have read a personal development book within the last year or two. Have you ever read a book on spiritual personal development? What is the difference between the two? Personal development books are also called self-help books. Spiritual personal development is not “self-help.” Spiritual personal development is “God-help.” In that one change of words, from self-help to God-help, is a world of difference. Continue Reading »

In Matthew 20:1-16, we read an interesting story that many find confusing and problematic. This selection is the story of the landowner who paid his field workers the same wage when they worked in his vineyard, regardless of how much time they put in. But from a metaphysical standpoint, the story is rich with practical applications for spiritual development. Continue Reading »
