Christian One-Liners
1. Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited-until you try to sit in their pews. 2. Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers. 3. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one. 4. The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close. 5. When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there. 6. People are funny, they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church. 7. Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever. 8. Quit griping about your church; if it...
Read MoreWHY Should We Apologize?
In a sad but almost humorous turn, a large Protestant denomination has issued an apology to Charles Darwin for not embracing his particle-to-people philosophy sooner.1 Constructed by Rev. Dr. Malcolm Brown, the statement was posted on the Church of England website and reads, in part, ?Charles Darwin: 200 years from your birth, the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still.?2 This pronouncement comes at a time when numerous discoveries in the physical and life sciences have stymied...

In 1973 The Supreme Court said it was ok to kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the entire population of Canada. And it continues. A woman’s choice? Half of those who have died in their mothers’ wombs have been women. They didn’t have a choice. It is called abortion. Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I go home.

It is called pornography. Me, I go to...
Read MoreWisdom and Might Are His
“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his.” (Daniel 2:20) Men have sought wisdom all through the ages, “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). Others have sought great power. But then we read of Alexander weeping because there were no more worlds to conquer, and we see one rich man after another who cannot bring himself to say, “It is enough.” The problem is, of course, that they are searching for wisdom and might in the wrong places, and thus they...
Read MoreCognitive Decline and a Biblical Decree
Elderly people without dementia show patterns of cognitive decline in the years prior to death, a new study published in Neurology magazine indicates.1 This sheds some interesting light on a particular passage in Genesis. Two hundred eighty-eight people without dementia who were born between the years of 1901 and 1902 participated in the study, and the results did not demonstrate the kinds of generalized decay that are usually associated with aging. ?We found accelerated changes in people?s mental skills that indicated a terminal decline phase years before death,? said Valgeir Thorvaldsson...
