This book is not reading for the fainthearted. There were portions of this book that were beyond me but it is a comfort to know there are people like W.L.C. out there who do know. If you choose to only read one portion of the book, Craig’s work on the resurrection is worth the purchase … Continue reading

Laughing till it hurts…
Proverbs 17:22 (NLT) A cheerful heart is good medicine… I hurt myself laughing today—and it felt great. Some people are “wired” to laugh; my wife is one of those people. There’s hardly a day that goes by that she doesn’t laugh—several times. I, on the other hand, can go days without laughing, and that is … Continue reading
Happily Incompatible
Leviticus 22:29 (NKJV) And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will. As far as I can remember, today is the first thanksgiving since Sonja and I have been married (35-years and counting) that we have not been together on Thanksgiving Day. Tonight she is in Michigan with … Continue reading
How Knowing to Do Good became a Game-changer.
Genesis 2:9 (NKJV) The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Wow; turns out there’s more at stake with doing good than I realized.

Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?
Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. With my daughter’s birthday just one day away, we used last night’s “Monday Family Meal” to celebrate her birthday. Soon the special moment came for the unveiling of the birthday … Continue reading
Things New and Old…
Matthew 13:52 (NKJV) Then He said to them, “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” This week my Bible reading took me through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. I was impressed in both cases with the effort that … Continue reading
A Sobering Thought…
Genesis 5:5 (NKJV) So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. Here’s a sobering thought for you: What if our death was more important than our earthly life? I thought about this earlier this morning during my study time while reading Henry C. Thiessen’s Lectures in Systematic … Continue reading
Playing for keeps…
Luke 12:20 (NKJV) But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ On the day a parent’s child is born they have 936 weeks from that moment until their child turns 18. If they fall asleep at the wheel … Continue reading
The one thing you must not do today…
Exodus 14:15 (NKJV) And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. The one thing you must not do today is carry the weight of regret. First of all, there is absolutely nothing you can do to undo yesterday—it’s done; and second of all… … Continue reading
