A young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska, was brutally murdered on a train in North Carolina. Nineteen days later, Charlie Kirk, noted Christian apologist, was gunned down as he answered questions posed by college students in Utah. The horror of these two events should cause us to reflect on many things. Among them is this: What is the result of generations of belief in evolution? In other words, what is evolution’s fruit?
It occurred to Moses at some point that he had been conversing with Almighty God, yet he had never seen His face. He surely understood that God could see him, but he could not see God. He wanted to know God better.
Love is demonstrated by the things we do, not by the words we say or the feelings we have. Biblical love is an "action" word not a "state of being" word.
“And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring…” (Acts 6:1)
What to do when murmuring arises? Acts 6 shows us two powerful principles that the early church used, and the results were astounding. Astounding results are not guaranteed, of course. God may have other things in mind to accomplish, but the principles are rock solid.
Sometimes when God calls His people to do something it can be a little scary. Though He promised never to leave us or forsake us, when we’re facing unknown peril in pursuing His will, the road seems a little less sure than it did before. This is illustrated in the following story of a pioneer preacher here in Georgia.
The Lord Jesus once asked a crowd, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” He might as well have been addressing passengers on a plane.
George Barna said, "Americans revere the Bible, but by and large they don’t know what it says. And because they don’t know it, they have become a nation of biblical illiterates."
Learn from the eagle: don't fight crows.
More and more people insist that common sense will set things right. Here’s how it works: The first person comments that the world has gone haywire concerning some issue. (It can be any hot topic–gender issues, border security, climate change, and on and on.) The second person responds that common sense will fix the problem. Nods and thumbs up follow, and the two people are satisfied that common sense is strong enough for the job. Is it?
