Monday musings 5/4/26

This verse has gained a lot of traffic in the past few years. It bears closer study than pop stars and athletes like to give it. The truly amazing section is this:

“that he gave his only begotten Son,”

The Lord GAVE, which denotes there must be an intended recipient of that gift.

“BEGOTTEN,” is replaced with “one and only Son,” in the NIV.  Webster’s defines begotten as: procreated; generated.  This is of huge  significance to all Bible believers. Satan wants to diminish the extraordinary aspect of the Conception of Christ, which was 100% supernatural. Through devious means, the evil one seeks to destroy the deity of Christ in every way he can.

Hold fast to the doctrine of the only begotten Son of God.

The Time That’s Left

Time is fleeting, swiftly moving away from us as we live these increments of life on this judgment-bound planet. Time cannot be recalled; it cannot be re-lived. What’s done is done. What time remains is all we have left to do what we will with our lives on earth. Time, as my great friend Chuck […]

Wednesday Wisdom 4/29/26

The selfless life, is the sacrificial life. Putting yourself under the Cross, and dying to self, involves every aspect of our lives.

Of special note is how this applies to the Christian marriage. The happiest marriages reflect Christ’s love for His church.

Tuesday Truth 4/28/26

I love the hymn “Living for Jesus.”  This verse from 1 John, states that ***we live through him***

Living through Him is a manifestation of our salvation.  We reflect Him outwards, to a lost and dying world. At all times, we need to realize that those outside will judge the entire Body of Christ and His Word, by how one Christian acts and speaks. Sobering thought…

The Jesus Haters 2026

Having just celebrated Easter, the thought that hatred for Jesus Christ is what put Him on the cross at Calvary is foremost in my mind. Of course, it was the sin of humanity that brought Jesus to that grotesque implement of torture as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. God sent His Only […]

Thursday thoughts

When my old blogging partner destroyed this blog, due to severe TDS, I had thought it was gone forever.

Until years later, my daughter was able to restore this blog!  In its heyday, we had over 10,000 followers, and we (blogging partner and I) easily spent several hours every single day, working on it. Now, I struggle to give it that kind of attention again. When he destroyed it, I lost hope in the blog.

This feeling is what many Christians have, when their lives seem to be in the pit of despair. They lose hope in believing, because their hearts are focused on this world, instead of our future in glory with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The peace in believing! 

Monday musings on the Word

It is sometimes difficult to understand how anyone, once given the Gospel, can reject it. We can find the answer, by going back to the very beginning…the Garden of Eden. What exactly happened there, was Adam choosing his wife over God. He loved Eve more than he loved God. Which in reality, was self-love. 

That is what happens with all who reject the Gospel. They love themselves and their sin. They have no desire to be freed from that sin. So tragic, but I see it all the time.
