A Father’s Responsibility

Paul — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:49:58 +0000

This message addresses the issue of the LORD’S judgment how it is not contradictory for the LORD to demand that we do not put someone to death for the sins of another. Yet, in His judgment He takes entire families, cities and nations. The requirement for us is to understand why. I pray it is profitable [...]

Gamblers and Gambling

Paul — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:59:32 +0000

Normally we think of gamblers as those who frequent the casinos, or the track, or bet on the outcome of games and sporting contests. Moreover, biblically, the engaging in such activity is patently wrong and condemned of God as it denies the sovereignty of God and does not acknowledge the working of God in the [...]

Cowardice

Paul — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:29:48 +0000

Not that I agree with John Hagee or his doctrine (because I don’t), but when he described the Catholic Church as the “great whore” of Revelation, he made a statement that, in accordance with the Roman Catholic’s bloody history of persecution, fits the Catholic Church rather well. The problem is that Roman Catholic persecution was [...]

Agony

Paul — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:47:16 +0000

Today, the Associated Press reported on the flood conditions in Eastern Arkansas and the Delta areas of Mississippi and Louisiana.1 This really is no surprise to me as where I live are the headwaters of the White River that flows into Missouri and then back into Eastern Arkansas before joining the Mississippi River. In the [...]

Lawful and Unlawful

Paul — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:06:31 +0000

Yesterday, while out and about, I observed a bumper sticker on a car that stated the following: “Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong” Now, it should not surprise anyone that I saw this in Fayetteville, and immediately outside the confines of the University. Immediately I thought of the [...]

Dear Vladimir,

Paul — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:50:08 +0000

You see Vladimir, you are not the end all, be all, and neither is the communist doctrine you believe in. I am certain that you either know the truth, or could easily find it out concerning Karl Marx and what he really was. After all, it is no secret that he was a bum who depended upon everyone else to support him while he whined about the social and economic order of the day.

Why Economies Fail

Paul — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:39:01 +0000

However, I would remind anyone that on the morning of September 11th, 2001, there were a considerable number of individuals in the World Trade Center who would not live past 10:00 AM. You know, none of them knew that at 8:30 AM that morning. Instead, they had plans for lunch with friends and co-workers, dinner with the family, trades to be made, deals to be completed, etc. The vast majority of them did not even consider that the LORD God would require their souls that very morning.

In Our Own Eyes . . .

Paul — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:19:57 +0000

When we reject principle, and do that which seems to be right, we walk the same path that Israel walked, and we do that which is right in our own eyes. As we can see by the Scripture, doing so brought judgement and yielded death to Israel. Even though they were warned, they did not believe the warning as they determined that they had the right way to proceed, and would not be swayed or persuaded from that path.

The Actor

Paul — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:08:34 +0000

In today’s society, the word “actor” doesn’t seem to carry any particular meaning beyond a job that one does to entertain or earn money. In short, being an actor is merely a career choice that is fundamentally no different than any other career choice. However, if that is our attitude toward the profession, perhaps we [...]

God’s Box

Paul — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:40:32 +0000

One of the subjects that invariably comes up when the judgement of God upon individuals or nations is discussed, is why the LORD God sees fit to leave certain individuals on this earth long after it is obvious that they are condemned and cut off from any hope of salvation. Now, to be certain, there are [...]
