The First Two Plagues???
I have been struck repeatedly of late by the similarities between the dramatic events in the Gulf of Mexico, and the smoke and mirrors of the associated press coverage, and the continuing lies and deception which surround the ongoing meltdown of the once “Almighty” US Dollar. But for the fact that “Helicopter” Ben Bernake, the [...]
Gravity and ‘the Law’
The second letter from Peter warns (II Peter 3:15-16) that in Paul’s writings are “many things difficult to understand…which are often twisted by the unlearned and untaught…to their own destruction.” Perhaps the most graphic example of that twisting of Biblical teaching occurs with the claim that the “law” has somehow been “done away with”, or [...]

Bible Econ 101
Like many people, I went through a period of youthful rebellion, during which I questioned a number of things that I had been taught – including many things that were supposedly “Biblical”. I still recognize that a great many people will do everything possible to deny that the Bible contains Truth, but will somehow listen when [...]
