Public Domain, "Christ Healing the Mother of Simon Peter", John Bridges, 1854 Metastatic cancer cell True Story Cancer is the scourge of this present generation. I know several people at work who have had cancer or who have died from this terrible disease. My own mother was first diagnosed with cancer about 4 years ago. She was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma. The doctors first thought it was a fat tumor. After her first surgery it came back in a matter of weeks. She had already endured a major surgery and had to go for a second one. It was the darkest part in my life as well as the brightest. After her second surgery we thought that it was gone since none of her other body parts were tainted. But a few months later another MRI revealed that her cancer had spread to her lungs. The doctors had called me and the news was so devastating. And as her son, I had to be the bearer of bad news. How do you tell your mother that she is dying? Where can a person get that...

A charming, beautiful woman is not godly, only she who fears the Lord is. The Bible, and when I refer it to it, I only mean the Old and New Testament, provides a guide for a righteous woman to be identified. In this time and age nothing is more important. Civilizations rise and fall with the work of women. I believe that the greatest of all creations is not the stars, nor the earth, or the sea, nor animals. God's greatest creation is the woman. She was created last by God because He wanted it to be right. Yet, when the Snake came along in the Garden, the woman was the first to be tempted and fall. When she was tempted she brought her husband Adam down with her. In today's era most women that fall under temptation are those recruited by oppressive cults. They enslave her mind as well as her will. Adolf Hitler began his work to dominate Germany by first getting to the women. Once he had them, the husbands soon followed...and we all know how history turned out. So wha...

The church, generally speaking, condemns people. As a matter of fact it seems that 90% of the time that is what it does. Instead of condemning people, the church should spread more love and less hate. It seems that you can't turn on TV and not hear one televangelist condemning someone (except of course Joe Olsteen, I have yet to hear him condemn someone). They condemn people for their addiction to alcohol or drugs. For the choices one makes, for how people want to think as individuals. The church condemns people for their clothing. People get condemn for whether they go to church or they do not go to church. People get condemn for their lifestyles. Churches are publicly humiliating people. We sound as if people owe us something. And the only thing we should owe each other is the love of Jesus Christ for one another. But all these pastors that spend 90% percent of their time in the pulpit condemning someone they forget one teaching of Jesus Christ , "don't judge, l...

Public Domain, Napolean Abdicated at Fontainbleau, Paul Delaroche, 1845 While driving to work today, I heard in the radio of how Napoleon's arrogance took the best of him. It is a known fact that in spite of his diminutive stature, Napoleon became a dictator that conquered many lands. At the Battle of Waterloo, something unexpected happened. Napoleon's might had increased to such an extent that he believed he was all powerful. Napoleon believed that winning Waterloo was not going to be any different. Speaking to one of his officers Napoleon said "We will put the infantry here, the cavalry over there, and the artillery in that spot. At the end of the day, England will be at the feet of France, and Wellington will be the prisoner of Napoleon." The officer responded, "But, we must not forget that man proposes and God disposes." Napoleon responded angrily, "I want you to understand, sir, that Napoleon proposes and Napoleon disposes !" That day, Napoleo...

WE LOVE BECAUSE HE LOVED US FIRST 1 John 4:19 This Friday morning, while driving to work, I saw on a Lutheran Church sign: Looking for Love? It was a poignant message. The truth is that every human being is always looking for love. Many in their quest to find love find it in the wrong places. But the Bible carries a simple core message, true love is found in God. We don't have to look anywhere else. God loves us with the kind of love we will never be able to phantom. Furthermore, unlike human love, God's love for us is everlasting. God's love never quits. Even those that get married, they take a pledge to love each other forever, but statistics show that 50% of the time, it fails. God's love never quits because He truly loves us. That is how you know what true love really is. Imagine, we are very ungrateful. God gives us life, sustenance, health and yet we easily forget what he has done. We are always ready to quit. Years ago, I used to feel that way. I quit ...

God is love. No one has greater love than the love God has for us. As Christians, or would be converts to Christianity, we have to always remember this. Love in Christianity is like the air we need to breathe to stay alive. There are many erroneous teachings regarding God's love. Many of these teachings insist that God's love for us has preconditions. We are taught that we must always do something special for God to love us. Many teach that if we do not do the things that please Him, He will not love us. I don't believe this to be true. I believe that God loves us no matter what we do. A true loving parent, loves his or her children no matter what. At least that is how I feel towards my baby. When I see my baby, I can never imagine not ever loving her. So if our love for our children is unconditional, how much more the love of God towards us? The Bible says that in the Last Days, love will wax cold. This means that society will become callous. I would like to...

There is no substitute for Christian care. Christians, care for all the people of the entire world. (Never mind the right-wing fundamentalists. Even though it may be hard to believe they care for you too.) Critics will say, if this is true why have millions of people suffered through wars and foreign policies enforced by Christian nations, such the U.S? And there is a simple answer. Just because people may call themselves Christians by name, they are not C hristians by faith. I call them cultural Christians, who like the re st of the world may only care for themselves. But overall, the overwhelming majority of Christian churches have done so much good for the welfare of all mankind. Christians extend a helping hand to all peoples, even if they are not Christian. Once, when our family was poor and hungry, because of an apartment fire, we were sent by our state welfare agency to ask for assistance through a Jewish community organization. When they saw me with my mother, and they ...
