    The real fools are those who, being satisfied with their lives as they are, forget God, forget their neighbors, and forget their mortality.

    What is wrong with this picture? Imagine that you are in the audience that long-ago day in Judea, listening to Jesus preach. There are thousands in the crowd, but you got there early. In fact, you waited all night to get a good seat. Jesus’ reputation has grown all over Palestine, and people have ...read more

    A walk through John 6, with reference to the Jewish belief that "I Am" could only be Yahweh... and Jesus claims God's title for himself. The Rabbis also considered the O.T. to be "The Bread of Life", "the Water of Life" and Jesus again claims them.

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “truth” is defined as, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” It is also defined as “a transcendent fundamental or spiritual ...read more

Just try getting over the border by using a name or abbreviated name and see what happens to you. Just the other day I needed the name of a ...read more
