  • Hebrew the World Oldest Written Language?

    Among the parts of Paul’s metaphorical armor of God is the shield of faith.  It is to defend us against the flaming darts of the enemy.  One of these darts is really a derivative of the Devil’s first attack.  Hath God said?  He brings into question the truth of God’s word, leaving doubt and spreading…

  • Good On You

    I want to say to everyone who voted, good on you. It doesn’t matter who you backed, you cared enough to to do your duty to select the leadership of this country nationally and locally.

  • The Myth of the Divine Gavel

    Either through unfortunately learning in sunday school or from listening to popular media, there is a myth that while God loves you, he is waiting around with a gavel for you to mess up so He can whack you. This can’t be further from the truth.  He loves you and wants to be with you…

Modern Egyptology’s timeline is based largely on one man’s writing. …

  • Forgiveness, Friend

    Friend, I don’t know how you got here or what brought you here but I want to tell you something very important. No matter what you’ve done. No matter how terrible you think it was. You can be forgiven. There might be reparations required here in this world for whatever it was, but Jesus offers…
