Stolen Lost Refound
Do you remember the Chipmonks? Yes, I mean THOSE chipmunks. They sang that horrible song in keyboard falsetto, “Christmas Christmas Time Is Here.” I don’t know if that was the title, but it is really all I can remember (well that and someone wanting a hool-a-hoop)....
One Blessing
In Genesis 27 Isaac gives “the blessing” to Jacob (his second son) by being tricked. Later when Esau comes in and wants “the blessing,” why does Isaac act like there was only one blessing? Can’t there be more than one blessing? What a great question…the answer is:...
Two Sons
In Genesis 22 you kept referencing how the scriptures say that God told Abraham to take his “only son,” didn’t Abraham have more than one son? First, yes, Abraham did have more than one son. We have spent many weeks talking about Isaac and Ishmael, but in Geneses...
Sacrifice Today
I had a friend recently send me a question that one of their friends asked them, here it is: You look over your fence, only to see that your neighbor has his son tied down on a table, and is standing over him with a knife. You ask the neighbor what he is doing, to...
Who Stinketh? We Stinketh!
Last night my dog was sprayed in the face by a skunk. I didn't know it, as she didn't freak out, she just became MORE excited about chasing her new friend in the back yard. I didn't know what the commotion was, so I told her to get in the house and go lay down. As...
An Urgent Message About Division
Last Sunday morning in our message about Abraham riding in to save Lot, like an old William Wallace on a camel, I mentioned how Abraham brought rescue and redemption by setting the captives free. I then showed how it all relates to our Great God coming to rescue us. I...
Child Salvation
I would like to know if you believe that young children (like age 4) can be brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? What are your thoughts on it? My family and I are currently attending a church that believes that it is very rare and that it is too hard to...
Justifiable Propitiation
Yesterday was our Mom's Day Off event and I was helping out at it; it was at my house so I didn't really have a choice. One of the guys in the Gospel Community who put on the event asked me a question about a recent message I gave. In the message I had a long...
How does loving somebody actually make them beautiful?
The wording of the question is out of order because it is not simply loving someone that makes them beautiful, it is HOW you love them. In our culture we have turned love into an emotion, it is about how we feel. This is why people use terms like "fall in love" or...
Standard of Beauty?
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO (OR DID YOU DO) TO START MAKING YOUR WIFE YOUR STANDARD OF BEAUTY, SO THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING IT, BUT IT BECOMES REALITY? As many things do, in love and marriage, this is also a choice that we make. For me, personally, I was convicted one...
