May 9, 2020 God has shown us over the last 90 days just how quickly and easily our free country can be turned into a Police State where government can close businesses and churches and imprison us in our own homes. To keep this in mind, I’m flying my flag every day —1. Until most […]
Seeing the unprecedented panic sweeping the USA and apparently the whole world, it seemed a good idea to share my side of a conversation with our Heavenly Father in case it might help someone deal with the societal turmoil. I wrote the prayer, posted it to Facebook and purchased 14 days advertising (Facebook calls it […]
Parallel history? In 450 – 550 AD, the Huns overran Europe and the middle-East. The people from small towns all moved into the major cities that had walls, thus concentrating the population. In 541 AD a plague broke out, spread mostly in those population centers and killed 25 million people, about 13% of the world’s […]
Answer this honestly: 25 lawyers with unlimited funds, untold numbers of staff and investigators who hate you and want to destroy you spend TWO YEARS looking for anything unlawful or dirty in the present or your background The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and other news media with everyone from the editors […]
A Possible Cultural Turning Point Our future is, of course, in God’s hands. However, I believe we are “on the cusp”. If you say that someone or something is on the cusp, you mean they are between two states, or are about to be in a particular state. If God’s people will get off their […]
“What would Jesus do?”, someone asks. Our world today is a mess: the government is in turmoil, our institutions are failing in their missions, our culture seems to be not too far from massive civil disturbance, it seems there is rampant hatred and distrust on every level – from our media to our personal conversations.

Each of these 10 immutable, eternal laws is individual and personal to each of God’s people. Obeying them is an individual responsibility. They provide no instruction for human religious organizations or groups and there are no rituals mentioned or described. God spoke the 10 Commandments aloud to the thousands of Israelites gathered at the base […]
God spoke the 10 Commandments aloud to the thousands of Israelites gathered at the base of Mount Sinai. When He finished speaking, He added “nothing more. Then He wrote them on two stone tablets” and gave them to Moses [Deuteronomy 5:22]. Why nothing more? Because those Ten Commandments are the only laws needed by mankind […]

In His own voice, our Creator gave us The Ten Commandments. Jesus, the Word who was with God from the beginning [John 1:1], was there when the Commandments were written in stone. Christians should view the Commandments with that perspective. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My Commandments.” [John 14:15] The Ten Commandments are […]
In His own voice, our Creator gave us The Ten Commandments. Since our Creator designed us, He knows what is best for us and He gave us these simple yet highly complex laws for our personal benefit. God’s relationship with mankind is individual – each of us is unique and each of us must be […]
In His own voice, God gave us the 10 Commandments – the only recorded time God expressed His law in His own voice until He spoke as the Son of God. He wrote those 10 Commandments in stone with His own finger; the Son of God taught us how those Commandments should affect us far […]

Some who have read my book or seen it advertised or who have seen my posts on Facebook or seen my writing elsewhere ask, “To what church do you belong?” I have no formal affiliation with any human religious group. I have visited Bible classes and religious services with many organizations over the years and […]
There is much confusion among Christians, especially those who have paid scant attention to the study of the Old Testament scriptures, concerning the Torah — the first five books of the Old Testament canon — Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. On the one hand, many of their teachers and preachers tell them that the […]
Most people are familiar with the story of Elijah, the prophet of Israel who was “taken up to heaven” by horses and a “chariot of fire”. So, Elijah went to heaven – the abode of God, the Father, Creator of the universe, right? Not really! Here’s the rest of that story. Elijah’s story is told […]
Who has not heard the story of the prophet Jonah, how God called him, how he ran away, how he was swallowed by a whale, spent three days and three nights there before he decided to do what God wanted him to do? Do you know WHY he ran away? That is the most interesting […]
What is the most difficult doctrine in the Bible? For me, it is Jesus’ commandment to “love your enemies”. Though not many, there are some people I dislike almost on first sight; there are a few others I dislike based on their actions or demeanor. Someone seeking to harm my family, my friends and neighbors, […]

In Bible times, a day was measured from sunset to sunset – “evening and morning were the first day” [Genesis 1:5]. Jesus was arrested in the night (Tuesday night, as we count days and nights) in the garden of Gethsemane and brought before the high priest and then before the Roman governor of Israel the […]
