Nine Biblical Reasons to Reject Donald Trump as a Candidate for President
Wednesday is for Political Controversy I don’t want to write this post.  Despite the fact that I wrote a book with the title Picking a President or Any Other Elected Official, I’m not a really political person.  I’m a registered Independent. Have been all my life. I wish all Christians were registered Independents. I don’t think it is wise for Christians to be identified with either or any…

Walking with Integrity: Proverbs 19:1
Better is a poor person who walks in with integrity     than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool. Proverbs 19:1 We know what it is to compare two things. For instance, I can compare an apple to an orange. I see the difference. One is red (typically), and the other, well, orange. The skin is very different, so much so that one makes me itch and the other doesn’t. Of course, there are other…

“Follow all the directions the LORD your God has given you. Life will go well for you.” —Deuteronomy 5:33 (GW)
“Obedience Is the Key That Unlocks God’s Promises” By Rick Warren:
“Have you ever thought about the link between faith and obedience? When you trust someone, you do what they say. If you don’t do what someone tells you to do, it means you don’t trust them.
In the Bible, God links faith and obedience over and over again. The promises of God are conditioned on you following the directions he gives you.
Deuteronomy 5:33 says, “Follow all the directions the Lord your God has given you. Life will go well for you” (GW).
God has made some incredible, specific promises in his Word about obedience. In fact, there are so many promises that I can’t list them all here. But here are a few:
“God blesses those who obey him” (Proverbs 16:20 TLB).
“He saves those who obey him” (Psalm 7:10 GNT).
“The Lord watches over those who obey him” (Psalm 33:18 GNT).
“The Lord takes care of those who obey him” (Psalm 37:18 GNT).
“God gives us what we ask for because we obey God’s commands” (1 John 3:22 NCV).
“Always obey the Lord and you will be happy” (Proverbs 28:14 GNT).
“Keep God’s laws and you will live longer” (Proverbs 19:16 GNT).
“Those who obey him have all they need . . . Those who obey the Lord lack nothing good” (Psalm 34:9-10 GNT).
That’s an incredible list of promises. If you follow God’s directions, you’ll be blessed, saved, watched over, taken care of, given what you ask for, and happy; you’ll live longer and lack nothing good.
Obedience is the premise behind all of the promises. God gives you his promises by grace. But you get to enjoy his promises when you follow his instructions.
Sometimes you understand God’s instructions. But sometimes you don’t. And you need to obey whether or not you understand.
Some of God’s commands might sound confusing. Some may seem unfair. For example, the Bible says to take the first 10 percent of your income and give it back to him. It says that when people do evil to you, you are to do good back to them. These things don’t always make sense from a human standpoint. But the things that don’t make sense to us are the things God asks us to do by faith. He wants us to trust him and obey anyway.
I want you to enjoy all of God’s promises. Obedience is the key that unlocks them. Choose to follow his directions today in faith. He promises to reward you for your obedience.”

A academic reflection of Dallas Willard's "Renovation of the Heart"
What book would you recommend? “That’s interesting, I’d like to know something about spirituality. Can you recommend something for me to read that would be helpful?” Introduction This essay is framed in the context of Christianity. Spirituality must be viewed from our own lived experience and our weltanschauung[1] and it would be disingenuous to not be authentically Christian and…

My Thoughts on Proverbs 18:13
If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. Proverbs 18:13 I’ve found that I’ve fallen into a Parent Trap, for lack of a better term.  This particular Parent Trap, I suspect, has snared many parents before me, and will continue to do so long after I’m gone. It is the Parent Trap of choosing to not really listen to my children. The bait for the Trap goes something like…

A screenshot of Proverbs 1:19-33 kjv.
This is a scripture describing the Holy Spirit calling to be heard and her guidance taken, and the consequences of not heeding is not having her, although I don't see the Spirit as a angry person, though can see sad or disappointed when one ignores. Reading this made me think of a loss of a friend who one can rely on to give only good counsel and will never lie to you and only wants the best for you.

17 For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
19 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.
(Proverbs 1:17-19, ESV)

Freedom is a Two-edged Sword. It Cuts Both Ways
Freedom is a Two-edged Sword. It Cuts Both Ways
Here in the United States we talk a lot about freedom, and we live in a culture that certainly loves to celebrate it. People are free to do what they want, to exercise their rights, and to feel independent of control by others. Independence Has a Cost But, Freedom is a door that swings both ways. The Bible has a lot to say about our freedom to choose, and about all the contingencies that result…

Faith is being receptive to the abundance of God's Instruction
Faith is being receptive to the abundance of God’s Instruction
For anyone to trust in Yahweh, there must be a trust in his Word. Psalm 19:7-11 – The Instruction of Yahweh is perfect and complete, refreshing and bringing back the soul [to him]; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdom for the simple. The precepts of Yahweh are upright, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is clear, light for the eyes. The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever;…
