Holiday Update

Thought I should take a moment to let you know why there has been a little break in writings.  For roughly the last month I have been “cleaning” up the posts.  I have been giving them a facelift trying to make them more “readable”.  Scripture quotes and references are now in red.  Headings have been added to make for easier reading and adding some clarity.  Many posts now have pictures added.  With 160 posts this has been time consuming but I feel much better about the site.  This has certainly been a learning process in more than one way.  Hopefully, I will get the hang of it.

As I continue cleaning up the old posts I want to encourage you to go back and look at them.  Please let me know what you think.  Your feedback will be helpful in giving me direction going forward.  If you are not being encouraged, convicted or challenged perhaps I am wasting my time.  My desire is for God to be glorified as His saints grow in Christlikeness and sinners are exposed to the Truth.  Which brings me to another topic.

One of the headings I now have is FAQ’s.  Others have looked for answers online for Biblical questions that are often asked and for which there are not many “satisfactory” answers.  In fact, for one of the questions I addressed, Does God Punish Us For The Sins Of Others, the top response on Google is written by a skeptic.  As I have stated before I am not and do not want to be a “Bible Answer Man”, but it bothers me that the top answer people will find when searching for Truth is written by an atheist.  From time to time I will be writing posts that address such questions.  If they do not interest you please be patient with me.  Speaking of which…

If there is something you would like to discuss please feel free to let me know.  As I have stated, I welcome your responses.  They are not only feedback for me, but they may encourage or challenge others as well.  In other words, don’t be afraid of taking “ownership” in this site.  Having responses to responses is not uncommon.  Just keep them respectful!!  This is not politics.

If you have a favorite post let me know.  I am thinking about a top ten list for people who may find this site doing an organic search.  Such a listing may be helpful to them.

Hope you have a great 4th of July.  Thanks to all of our vets who have sacrificed for our freedom.  Your service is appreciated.  This nation owes you so much.  And speaking of sacrifice and freedom…

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:31-32

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. – Galatians 5:1
