The Sin of Lying
Today's post is an article written by Dee Bowman. I honestly believe that the most commonly committed sin is that of lying. Which of us has not, at one time or the other, told an outright lie? Oh, we dress it up and say it was simply “an untruth,” but when the finish with which … Continue reading The Sin of Lying

Back to School
It is hard to believe that it is time for school to be back in session. Starting a new school year is always an exciting time with new teachers, new supplies, and seeing friends again. While I am sure, every student here is fully equipped with all the paper, pencils, and boxes of Kleenexes to … Continue reading Back to School
The Avalanche of Sin

Something that grabbed my attention in the reading was how quickly the world falls apart once sin enters the picture.

So, while I did enjoy the film there were inevitably some characters and plot references that I did not recognize or understand. … Continue reading Why Study the Old Testament?
The More You Know!
NBC use to have a public announcement service where some influential person would give a short announcement informing those watching about some vital piece of information (Drugs, Child Abuse, Hunger, etc.). And at the end of the PSA a shooting star would shoot across the TV with the words "The More You Know." The idea … Continue reading The More You Know!

After a break we are picking up right where we left off with a series of follow up post to "You Ought To Be Teachers". Every day I get into my car and drive the six miles across Tucson to my office. I am able to do so because I have a car and a … Continue reading Authority
