As translated byMoses Samuel not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. Titus 1:14 Allow me to first make an observation as to the way we all write things.

"There is no fear of God before his eyes."Psalm 36:1 Sadly, this phrase has been woven into the very fabric of our society today. When a man has no fear of GOD, he is prepared for any crime. Total depravity is not too strong a term to describe such human wickedness. Evil people who have... Continue Reading →
As I prepare my next outline for the students in the Bangladesh Ministry I support, a few thoughts came to me I would like to share.

Caleb Stevenson's commentary on the letters to the Seven Churches of Revelation is not what modern readers will be prepared to read. First off, he covers eight churches, the eighth one being the modern church of America. Unlike the many commentaries that attempt to explain the letters wholly on a 22nd century understanding, he takes... Continue Reading →
The post at the end of this commentary has been making its round on Facebook. It is about Steve Jobs thoughts on life as he is ready to die. He tells us that he finally learned what life was all about. Well, I offer it, with this truth. Not one time did Job mention anything... Continue Reading →
I created a new chart that lists 23 women from the Scriptures. There are more than 23 women I could cover, but I took the 23 I felt were more recognizable to most Christians.

by Chuck Ness As I was reading Habakkuk during my morning quiet time, I was given some insight I have not considered before. The phrase, ”The more things change, the more they stay the same,'' came to my mind. Jeremiah and Habakkuk were contemporaries living in Judaea just before and during the time when Babylon...
