A Heavenly Reunion: Reflections on Love, Loss, and Redemption
Last night, I experienced a dream that unfolded like a gripping thriller movie, complete with an emotionally charged climax. In this dream, I found myself in a mysterious lobby, a waiting area on the threshold between the realms of Heaven and Hell. Behind one door loomed a staircase leading downwards to Hell, a sight I dared not even glance at. Instead, I instinctively chose the door that promised ascent, the door to Heaven. Yet, strangely, the stairs behind it descended. Undeterred, I pushed open the door and began my descent. With each level I descended, passing through successive doors, I became aware of two guardians trailing me, brandishing coat hangers…

Philippians 1:1-11
1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ,To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul opens his letters like all his others, with a prayer of grace and peace from Jesus. It’s important to note that grace always comes before peace because there is no real peace until you receive the grace and forgiveness of God. 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the…

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me Murderers, adulterers, liars; how do you forgive them or even love them? But that is exactly what God will do if you believe His Son died for you for those crimes. Well, you say, “I have never killed anyone.” Jesus says, “Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.” You say, “I’ve never cheated on my spouse.” Jesus says, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” I’m not even going to mention lying, if you say you’ve never lied…

Strata Testifies of God, Mutation against Evolution
Second email reply I sent my friends after I sent them some links about dinosaur tissue finds: (read the first reply here) Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I’m been working and reading more about creation, evolution, and fossilization. And sorry that the reply is so long, hopefully you have time to read it all. 🙂 That’s where we disagree; I think it not logical to live a life without a purpose. Everything has a purpose. Cars take us places, computers automate things for us, and buildings shelter us from the elements. Trees give out oxygen, the sun provides light and energy, oxygen keeps us alive. What…

Hell – Why is it taught in the Bible?
Hell is not a threat, it really depend on how you look at it. To me, it’s more of a warning. He knows what is good for us and what is bad for us, so He is letting us know that the way of man leads to death. But if we just listen to Him and His warnings, and trust in Him, we can have life. We are not going to know everything; His knowledge is infinitely larger than ours. Just like a parent is way more knowledgeable than his 5 year old. If the 5 year old is playing with matches near some gasoline, the dad is going to…

Born Again
Why do I call myself a born again Christian? Because my new life in Christ is completely different from how I used to live. Before I accepted Jesus in my life, I used to live just for myself and my wants. I drove a red Mustang Cobra convertible as a status symbol, I would go to Las Vegas and spend hundreds on gambling, drinking, and strip clubs. You know, the things that are addictive, sinful, and immoral, the things that satisfy you in the moment but then makes you feel horrible the next days/weeks/months. One thing I am definitely glad I’m rid of was my road rage. If someone tailgated…
