    The sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their sinfulness. Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the cities. Do we deserve the same fate for looking back to our sinful lives?

    Pillar of Salt Genesis 19:15-26 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, ...read more

    Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

    (A Poem) Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, Remember this terse little verse To let a fool kiss you is stupid But to let a kiss fool you is worse. (Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more

    No matter which direction you turn, it won't take long to come across someone who is suffering. And the common question that is asked in the midst of that suffering is, why me? Unfortunately, many individuals never get past those words.

    Today we're going to try to answer the question why do we suffer. The very first class that I was able to take in seminary was entitled the problems of evil and suffering. That class raised the same question that we're going to try to answer today. Why do we suffer? No matter which ...read more
