  • Thanksgiving isn’t a religion-free zone

    Thanksgiving is an unusual holiday for it is a time when we combine God, government and society. It seems that it is OK for anyone, regardless of his religion, to be thankful.

    That bothers me, because when something is so universally accepted, it means it has been watered down and changed from its original purpose. For example, look at what has happened to Christmas and Easter.

  • Sin comes in three flavors: commission, omission, disposition

    Sin is Public Enemy Number One. It always has been, and always will be. Sin breaks the heart of God, nailed Jesus to the cross and carries men down to hell.

    We read in 1 John 3:4 that “sin is lawlessness.” Someone says, “I don’t see any harm in this thing or that thing.” But it is not a question of how we see things, but how God sees them. Since he is God he has a right to say “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not.”

  • Killjoys existed in first century church

    People can rob us of our joy. A lack of unity in the church at Philippi was threatening to rob Paul of his joy. Epaphroditus had evidently brought news to Paul in Rome that two women in the church were not getting along.

    Paul says, “Make my joy complete by being of the same minds” (Philippians 2:2).
