FULL MOON AGAIN
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
78,000 times the moon has gone through its phases with untouched, unwavering precision, just like the very first full moon “In the beginning [when] God created the heavens (sun, moon, stars) and the earth” (including us, to look at the heavenly bodies).
“When I consider the heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—what is man that You are mindful of him, . . .?”
That is another verse where we do well to read the whole chapter, Psalm 8.
TRINITY – – – IN THE BIBLE ?
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Typical response if you question ‘trinity’ ?:
It has been said,
“Explain the trinity, lose your mind; doubt the trinity, lose your soul.”
(That may be a bit harsh, but it does explain why we’ve fiercely held trinity sacred, and squelched any criticism.
NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES – – – IN THE BIBLE ?
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
alternate title –
TEMPORARY HEAVEN – – – BIBLICAL ?
There is a plethora of Near Death Experience reports now—more than before.
Why so ?
This world is ripe for spiritual answers and personal spiritual experiences—both Biblical and other.
Lots of attention to NDE’s today–
— Books
— Interviews
— Prominent name endorsements
— Wave, momentum, to accept, to go along with
— Pushbacks quickly set aside *
The testimonies that are written and shared are–
Cheerful.
Uplifting.
Encouraging.
Feel good.
Based on enthusiasm over positive stories of experiences.
Authentication by people with claims of ‘real’ Christianity.
When focus on stories overshadows focus on what’s in the Bible, be aware if your faith starts to lean more on what people say and less on what God has said.
Do not let any of your time and thought spent on others’ Near Death Experiences lead you to spend less time in your Bible.
THAT IS A TANGIBLE, PRACTICAL TEST FOR YOUR OWN WALK ON “THE NARROW ROAD”.
Focus on the Family (7-28-25) closed with reference to “these faith-building” books of Near Death Experience stories.
They don’t build my faith, because I don’t see a connection to the Bible, a precedent in Scripture.
Most people will get caught up in the thrill of realistic stories of heaven, without ever considering if they square with Scripture.
In fact, many stories may indeed be real, but discernment calls into question their source.
Human nature wants to add something to the Bible, for some new excitement.
I was listening throughout the program for the initially promised Bible base to all the testimonies . . . ?
I didn’t hear it.
Minimal, weak Bible references.
More assumptions to truth, validity, than Biblical authentication.
Question—Do we believe the Bible has everything we need for truth and Godliness. ?
*Typical response if you question ‘NDE’s’ ?–
“Are you doubting their faith ?”
(If they say they love Jesus, then what they say about heaven must be true.)
MAKE IT EASIER
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
Americans have become accustomed to lots of things being easy.
We have come to expect things becoming easier.
This is so much the case that many believe we deserve easy, and easier.
The American dream has become synonymous with rights to happiness more than “the pursuit of happiness.”
This turns into thinking somebody (some thing) owes us something we didn’t earn.
Even our spiritual perspective is affected—God, make my life easier, fix my problem, make me comfortable.
MAKING IT EASIER =
MAKING US WEAKER
Even our military is affected—today,
we’re counting on power, precision, and performance of weapons and technology, and brave people operating them, to defeat bad guys once again.
The sacrifice of all Americans in past wars is not considered by most Americans now, because we are insulated from such hard denial of our personal comfort.
We must be very thankful for our mighty armed forces, and our leadership to use it wisely and decisively.
Pray for all those involved, and for the effective function of all weapons.
For our country, read HARD IS NOT THE EXCEPTION on this site.
Spiritually, please read GREATEST CHALLENGE on this site.
WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON ?
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
(Reverse approach—not listing the three things first, with the question, “What do they have in common ?”)
SIN
-1- Sin takes you more places than you intended to go.
-2- Sin keeps you places longer than you intended to stay.
-3- Sin costs you more than you intended to pay.
PHONE (ETC.)
-1- ‘Phone’ takes you more places than you intended to go, faster and faster and faster, before you realize it happens, without your intent or consent.
-2- ‘Phone’ keeps you longer than you intended to stay, and you waste more time, over and over and over, and you don’t notice until it is too late.
-3- ‘Phone’ costs you more than you intended to pay—in lost time, productivity, guilt, relationships, idleness – to – idolatry, control.
SHOPPING
I thought of this analogy while grocery shopping.
-1- The thousands of choices in American grocery stores (and others) is unnatural, unhealthy, and pushes you to consider more than you intended.
-2- The grocery trip always takes longer than you intended (true for me).
-3- More than you intended to pay ?
You tell the cashier, “I can’t believe I spent this much.”
Your bank account says, “I can’t believe you spent this much.”
“ONCE SAVED – ALWAYS SAVED” —–MISTAKE
February 28, 2026 By Leave a Comment
This article is not joining debate about the doctrine.
It is addressing a principle.
The mistake is labeling with human wording what the Bible ‘says’ (whether it says so or not).
We want to come up with statements that make us comfortable, when some Bible verses make us uncomfortable.
We want to settle questions and debates over passages in the Bible that say one thing while other passages seem to say something different.
Some are compelled to defend the Bible, and try to explain everything and answer every question to our satisfaction.
You might say they could put their name on the Bible, for all they have added to make it clear.
Okay, several well-known Bible teachers have done exactly that.
— Jeremiah Study Bible
— MacArthur Study Bible
I appreciate listening to these two faithful leaders, but I would stop short of putting their name on the Bible.
It would be better to just print “THE BIBLE”—and include personal notes, but not part of the Bible with their name up front.
(It can be said that “Study Bible” is redundant.)
MEDIOCRE CHRISTIANITY IS SICKENING

Jesus said, “Because you are neither hot nor cold [about Me], but because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth (vomit).”
EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES

Emperor has no clothes because he has no modesty because he’s the emperor.
Theologians have no limits because they have no humility because they are theologians.
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN ?
February 19, 2026 By Leave a Comment
— Do you claim to be a Christian ?
— Do you tell others you are a Christian ?
— How has Jesus changed your life ?
— Does anyone say you are different because you are a Christian ?
— If you were in a muslim country, would your life be in danger because you show that you are a Christian ?
