Part 1: MURDER EXODUS 20:2-17 The sixth commandment is often written incorrectly in English. You may have it memorized? In any case, it says “Thou shalt not kill.” (KJV, for example), but some newer translations, such as the English Standard Version (ESV) acknowledge the Hebrew meaning of the word by saying, “You shall not murder.” (In a footnote …

GUEST POST from Don – The Relationship
THE RELATIONSHIP Christian salvation is a strange beast. Some think it is a “search for God.” For many religions, that is exactly the point. But for Christianity it is entirely wrong. Christianity is God’s search for us. Genesis 1 & 2 clearly proclaims that God created the world, then (day 6) he created Adam (adam is also the word for …

GUEST POST from Don – Salvation “Dance”
SALVATION “DANCE” An exploration of Biblical salvation… I’m not a theologian, but I think about stuff anyway.God desires a great thing for us. Clearly His goal and hope is not punishment for the guilty, but joy for the willing. In the 50s through the 80s we had both Bill Bright’s “Four Spiritual Laws,” and an …

Ahhh…I get it!!! OK, how do I tap into this salvation thing? What do I do next? Good for you – for now, and forever! First, you have to understand, just like every other person in the world, you are a sinner – exactly who Jesus came for! He came for you! Consider that. Consider …

Supernal Sunday – July 2, 2023 Edition: Why Would I Want THAT???
When I see so-called “Christians” they always seem angry! Why are “Christians” so critical?? Christians sure seem to be happy with their idea that if I mess up I’ll go to hell…I thought Jesus taught love? I went to a new church once and nobody even acknowledged me – Christians are inclusive snobs! I know …
