The Plain Truth

1434) The internet has brought many good things to the world. We can communicate with family anytime we want. We can search for a recipe that uses the leftover we have in the refrigerator. We can apply for jobs and so much more and yet, this powerful tool can dole out misinformation. As a teacher

How to Treat Suffering

1433) Like most people, there have been times in my life when the pain and suffering in my heart has knocked me flat on my back. I go to sleep crying and wake up with tears. Suffering is a pain that is not easily dealt with, but Psalm 119:50 gives us a treatment plan. We

Who is Jesus?

1432) People have asked Christians who Jesus is. How do you adequately answer this? Authors have written numerous books on this subject, but sometimes less is better. Jesus tells us exactly who he is in John 14:6. I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father but by me.

And Justice for All

1431) Growing up, my schools would always recite the American Flag salute and we still do in the school where I teach. Do you remember it? What are the last four words? And justice for all. We are fortunate to live in a country that endorsees justice, so much so that we include it in

When I Call God a Liar

1426) I would not like to be a store-owner right now. Anyone who listens to the news or reads current events on their newsfeeds knows there is an ongoing surge of shoplifting and robberies.

Predictability

1425) Everything within my being yearns for predictability. In fact, those who know me well know I rarely vary things in my life. I get up at the same time; I follow my writing and teaching schedule consistently, and I usually order the same foods when out for a meal. I get teased for this,
