Our last post stated that throughout the United States, churches are worshiping golden calves. It is much easier to point out what we are doing wrong than what we should be doing. What is true and proper worship? Since this question has been asked and answered repeatedly for nearly 2,000 years, there are many and … Continue reading Brethren We Have Met To Worship By Michael J.

And the king (Jeroboam I of Israel) took counsel, and made two calves of gold and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem.

Ecclesiastes 12: 11-12 The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. I hate writing blog posts, … Continue reading A “Striking” Scripture for Writers by Mary C. Findley
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; Proverbs 13:22a KJV A simple reading of this verse brings to mind property, real estate, houses, land, and money.

In Nehemiah 13, Nehemiah had to leave Jerusalem for a time after the rebuilding of the temple and the city. In the previous chapter repentance and cleansing had followed public reading of the Scriptures.

Our book Antidisestablishmentarianism has one section defining Secular Humanism and another section defining Science. Even pulled out and available as separate books, they are still too lengthy for the average reader. This is a simple overview. You do not have to be a Christian to have a Christian view of Science. Neither … Continue reading Christian Science v Secular Humanist Science
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: Malachi 4:5 And (Jesus) was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with … Continue reading Elijah: Incomplete Obedience? — Michael J. Findley

AiG (Answers in Genesis) has a webpage listing arguments Christians should not use because they are already disproved, weak, or there is not enough evidence. http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-answers/topic/arguments-we-dont-use Secular Humanists should make a similar list of arguments (reasoned positions, not heated debates) used against creationism which are already disproved, weak or lack evidence. The AiG list contains … Continue reading There Should Be A List — Post by Michael J. Findley
Two people today posted the same statement on Facebook. They said they felt overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle responsibilities. My immediate impulse was to quote the verse that says, "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." (Psalm … Continue reading When My Heart Is Overwhelmed — Post by Mary C.Findley
Here's a very brief comparison/contrast of Balaam versus Jonah. You let me know what you decide, because frankly, I don't know what to think about these two guys, except for a couple of observations I'll make after my list. Balaam: Summoned by kings with promises of reward. Jonah: Summoned by God with no promise of … Continue reading Balaam vs Jonah — No Comparison — Or Is There?
But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 We are all involved in a Spiritual warfare that is not going away just because we do not like it. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, … Continue reading Maturity
Assuming something to be true then using that assumption as a "proof" is the essence of circular reasoning. The issue is not the nature of the evidence, but the honesty of the observer. For example all dating systems assume deep time to be true. One very clear example is dendrochronology or tree ring dating. Bristlecone … Continue reading Circular Reasoning
People have always loved the approval of others. But to give up part of the truth of God's Word just to win that approval will bring on the judgment of God. Claiming the book of Genesis, at least the first eleven chapters, to be "allegorical" or "mythical" will win the approval of many. But if … Continue reading The Need to Understand Original Sin — post by Michael J. Findley
Lot's story begins before Genesis 19, when he separated from Abraham and chose his land near Sodom. But let's not call him selfish, or wicked, or anything else bad, for that choice, because the Bible calls him righteous. (2 Peter 2:7) He invited in the angels God sent, tried to protect them, and to act … Continue reading The Righteous Soul and the Harlot’s Heart — post by by Mary C. Findley

Eve was deceived. Adam chose his wife above the Word of God and rebelled. God never intended Adam and Eve to experience evil. He desired they only know Him and enjoy Him forever. God wanted them, as He wants us, to fully and intimately know and experience good without the knowledge and experience of evil. … Continue reading Your Eyes Shall Be Opened, And You Shall Be As God, Knowing Good and Evil — Post by Michael J.

Occasionally I encounter a secularist position so bizarre that I have never encountered it before. While the position I am describing below might be common among journalists, I certainly have never personally encountered someone who believed it before. He wrote a commentary on Numbers 31:16-18 "Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel … Continue reading Marriage Is Not Rape — Post by Michael J. Findley
