Conversations with God

I just saw a poll at AOL.com that said that 85% of respondents supported the death penalty. Are you among them? Do you think we should kill people in order to stop people from killing people? The question on the survey was straightforward enough: “Do you support the death penalty?” I clicked on the NO…

I hate hypocrisy. And I especially hate it in religion. So you will understand my revulsion around the loving embrace of evangelical Christians of Sarah Palin’s candidacy for vice president of the United States. Let me help you to understand why – and I would invite every evangelical Christian reading this right now to try…just…

Today I would like you to consider the possibility that most of the world’s people hold an inaccurate belief about God. Consider the possibility that the truth about God is something that most people can’t even imagine. For instance, wouldn’t it be interesting if there was no such thing as the Will of God? Wouldn’t…

What is God’s agenda? What is God’s requirement? Do you know? Are you sure? On this Sunday, let us think about that. We continue today our series called Sunday School All Week, by inviting you to consider the following… We have been told of a God who wants humans to keep His commandments, and if…

Yesterday the high court in Connecticut overturned the ban on gay marriage there. It said that the State’s constitution did not permit the State Government to refuse to grant marriage licenses to gay couples.

This is what some people think, anyway. In response to my column here yesterday about Sarah Palin, a person posting as “John” wrote.. We…

Does it matter whether a person who could become President of the United States can put two sentences together in a way that makes sense? Apparently, it does not. At least not to 4 out of 10 people. A poll taken after the Palin/Biden debate last week showed that 4 out of 10 respondents felt…

Embracing Godliness is not easy. It can be, but for most people it is not. That’s because most of us do not want to give up what we have to give up in order to “get Godly.” As I look at those words I realize that to many, even the idea sounds arrogant. Do we…

Is it okay to glorify the self? Or is that the sure road to perdition and pathway to hell? I know it must be very, very bad form to admire one’s own quotes…but… Somebody posted this last week in the Comments Section of this blog and I just love it. Seeing this quote in print,…
