The Burden of Truth
There is such a thing as the “burden of truth.” Such is not to be confused with the “burden of proof” – which is defined as, “A duty placed upon a civil or criminal defendant to prove or disprove a disputed fact.” There is a similarity, however, between the two. Both are equally tied to a specific responsibility. Both involve a burden, a job that must be accomplished necessitated by the weight of the circumstance. And yet temporary legal matters are not really to be compared with matters of eternal consequence. The existence of divine truth combined with the knowledge of that truth places a monumental burden upon every individual.…

A Beautiful Home
On the 75th anniversary of my parents’ wedding day, I posted something on Facebook about the significance of that day to me. I really didn’t expect a lot of comments about that. I was just thinking about them and wanted to remember that day. I have a cousin who is quite a bit younger than me. In fact, he is enough younger that he was in high school when I taught at that high school. His father and my mother were siblings. As I remember it, we did not really spend that much time together. However, there must have been enough time spent that my parents made an impression on him. It was, as you will…

Dear Christians, Are We Showing Honor to Our Leaders in Government?
Christians live in a time when it seems as though virtually every decision made by leaders in government, especially in higher levels of government, is against them. What are described as “traditional values” are mocked and trampled down, and the Bible is given a token reference at best. Add to that the age of cynicism in which we live. We are told to trust no one, so we don’t. We nitpick and fault-find to justify not trusting any so-called leader. Throw the instant nature of sharing information into the mix and you have a serious situation. We can easily hit “share” on any article and it jumps on our Facebook…

Why Did Jesus Ask Three Times?
Last weekend was a “lovely” weekend. Valentine’s Day always sparks the thoughts of love and relationships. You think about the people who love you and the ones you love. You celebrate these relationships in some way. On the shoreline of Tiberias our Savior had this topic in mind. He had been resurrected, and had appeared 6 times to different people or groups according to the Scriptural record. A seventh appearance, the third among His disciples, is recorded in John 21. In this episode the apostle Peter and six of the other disciples had gone fishing in Galilee. They had fished all night and caught nothing. Jesus shows up, and similar to…

May I Ask My Social Media Friends a Favor?
How long is your list of social media outlets that you use? I know I can’t list all of the options out there. I’m not even sure what most of them are. My experience is limited to Facebook (and very occasionally) Twitter. That’s it for me. That’s enough for me. I see enough on Facebook to prompt me to write these words. I would sincerely like to ask my friends who use Facebook and other things like it to do me (and others) a favor: If you wear the name “Christian” and you choose to do something other than attend a worship service or Bible class, please do not let the world know about that…
