I was drawn to this Fox News item (7/26/2019), Sports Illustrated model Haley Kalil says ‘sorry mom’ after dancing to tune containing ‘bad word’. The model said “sorry mom”. She was “sorry” because a “bad word” was in a song she danced to. I wondered, What is her faith background? How did she arrive to […]
Puny humans
…quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us. – From The Damning God “What God thinks. God has spoken to man – through the Bible. And He is the One that made it all happen. Doesn’t that sort of trump us all? Shouldn’t the Truths of God take precedence over whatever it is […]
Do what I say
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
Yeah, What he said!
Opinion’s worth your time… I will be adding more periodically (and republishing this page). What he said: The Frank Jenner Story by Stephen Tucker.

Is this you?
…conduct becoming of a true, maturing Christian. A study of 1 Thessalonians 5 What Love Does. This passage by Paul the apostle exhorts the believer in Christ, “all believers, those set apart for God” — to live in a manner pleasing to Christ. We of course are not saved by how pleasing we are to […]
Limited Thinking
“…Don’t fool yourself by your limited thinking.“ – – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 So, you are thinking? That’s a good thing! And those thoughts are – what? They are your thoughts? Have you been able to get past your own thinking – and think with God and His expressed thoughts? What are you thinking? Are you […]
Being Wise & Understanding
The wisdom from God reveals itself through our good behavior. A wise person shows his/her spiritual wisdom by their resulting good behavior (James 3:13-18). Are you spiritually wise and understanding? Look at your inner soul, and your outward actions, the things you do. That will tell you if you are spiritually wise and understanding. The […]
Secret Gardens of Discontent
Be very careful you do not have a Secret Garden in your heart – where you carefully tend bad fruits and bad trees, attractive bushes and hedges in your mind, hidden from sight, things that go contrary to His expressed Ways. What are you cultivating? “There is a way which seems right to a man […]
Thinking Is Incidental?
Being an atheist: “It’s incidental to who I am.” – 2018 USA State Senator candidate Is that really what you think… that: How I think is incidental to how I act? That how I think is incidental to what laws and decisions I will support? How ridiculous is that!? A 2018 USA State Senator wannabee […]
Religion and Philosophizing
So there were 2 men sitting in a cave, lost, philosophizing about what this cave was all about. One said: Hey, I discovered this note here, says: “Trust me – this cave is dangerous. Get out now.” Sounds good to me. And those bones seem to support what the note says! I’m leaving. The other […]
Conflicts Because of Opinion
I am sometimes told I should not share my understanding of the Bible with certain issues — because it could very well offend friends and others. It is surely a well meant warning. Loved ones do not want others to reject loved ones. It is just so easy these days to offend others because of […]
Being Great
What does the Bible say about being “great”? Jesus was great! And we are to be like Jesus! What are the biblical principles that should guide all Christians in their quest to be “great”? The definition of “great”: excellently; very well; of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average. (Source: The […]
Our Perspective in the USA
– Anonymous Quote in reference to the Charlottesville violence – by both sides, violent white supremists and violent protesters against their racism… How ’bout this perspective – for us in the USA today? Maybe we all should try greeting each other in love? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than […]
Explaining “Natural”
Way way close, but ages ago – here on earth, what was “natural” was disappeared by Creator God, and we all became changelings 1. We are still made in the image of God, made “to resemble God“, but in comparison with Adam and Eve, who were “supremely good”, we are now quite the subnormal cretin […]
Vile To Jesus
God is quite a libertarian 1, in the sense that – He allows us total freedom to do whatever the hell we want. We love to be freeeeee! That tends to give us such a sense of “yippeeee!” that, as a consequence… our life can kind of get out of control. Just look at the […]
Blasphemy
Taking the name of the Lord God in vain, blasphemy, is not a matter of words as much as a matter of the heart. It is all in the context. Oh my God! Contrast the use. See this phrase here, Psalm 59:1, where the Psalmist says it, or hear it in the market as someone […]
What a Crock – Having No Religious Affiliation
To say “I have no religious affiliation” is to say… I am such a lazy-ass I can’t make-up my mind I am so mixed-up I can’t figure it out I am so lame I will just leave those matters for others to deal with I don’t really care what God does with me; I’ll take […]
Acting Wickedly
What is “acting wickedly”? Jesus mentions this in Matthew: 23And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. – Matthew 7:23 The Judge of All will define what it is. Is your definition the same as His? Or do you hope […]
Hebrews 6:4-5
“…the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come….” –Hebrews 6:4-5
