Lately a lot of spammers have decided to start peddling their wares by using the comments section of this site. I apologize if you have seen some pretty nasty comments attached to the various articles. I have tried to remove them as quickly as I am able but a few may have escaped my notice. I have recently installed some software I hope will drive some of these people away. Let’s hope it works!

And…We’re Back (Again)

After posting a hopeful note earlier in which I hoped (against hope, really) that everything on the site had been worked out, I ran into more trouble.

In My Father’s School Are Many Classrooms

We know what Jesus said about our eternal destination: “In my Father’s house are many rooms” (or, in its older rendering, “in my Father’s house are many mansions”). We know that God has prepared a place for us to live with him forever—a place of safety, peace, and rest. But before we get to that…

There is a deep mystery to suffering. While the Bible makes it plain that we must expect to encounter times of sorrow and loss, of trial and grief, we often don’t know why these times come. Though we know he is weaving together a marvelous tapestry that will wondrously display his glory, we also know…

Are You a Good Investor?

Sometimes you read a book and realize quickly that it probably won’t make a tremendous difference to your life. It could be that the book simply isn’t very good—we have all encountered those books.
