    A quick look at the differences between lust and adultery in America and in Muslim countries. No copywrt, feel free to edit or add too however you like. I am not an expert, so please forgive and bring to my attention any mistakes. Thanks.

    We can learn several lessons from the Muslim world, from their mistakes and from their successes too. One such mistake and success is adultery, one of The Ten Commandments. The muslims take lust and adultery very seriously. Compared to some of us Americans they follow Jesus’s command better ...read more

    The Bible Code

    Stop trying to appease the world’s intellect for they cannot understand God by the mind. True science affirms the Word, but science doesn’t convict the heart. Facts are easily ignored, but the Spirit working on the heart cannot; resisted, but not ignored

    Having just seen a show about the Bible Code the other day, so I thought I would put in my two cents on the issue. I know some very good men think this is a great find, but even great men need to hear from an Amos from time to time. When you first listen to it, it sounds really cool especially to ...read more

    The danger of looking to external “signs” to guide you into God’s will. So how do you know if God is leading you?

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention.

    When God Calls, Which Way Do You Run?

In the third chapter he ran with God, but in the fourth chapter he ran ahead of God. Jonah was a ...read more
