Spirit of Truth/The Bible on Trial

Today is Good Friday, and I have posted an article about the actural timing of 'Easter' that draws a different conclusion about the resurrection of Jesus than is commonly held in the Church. This is for your information only, and does not reflect the ongoing topic that Rich Sterling has been dealing with these past months. But given that this is Easter weekend I thought you might like to read some...

The Masters~ In the world of golf there are four major tournaments played each season, and the most challenging event that takes place in the U.S.A. is The Masters that is played at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta Georgia. Along with The Open that is played in Britain, The Masters is one of the most intimidating and difficult tournaments to win, because in order to do so you must not only be...

War is Messy! When we think of the war we are now dealing with, both literally and spiritually, there is one thing we can say about both, and that is that war is messy. As General Von Clausewitz said in his bood "About War",  'No batlte plan survives first contact with the enemy'! This is much less true concerning the spiritual war we are in, because as prophecy intimates in all it's forms, God wi...

Missed Connection~ I have been working on my 2006 Ford F-150 for nearly two weeks now. We bought this truck about 6 months ago, and I have slowly but surely doing maintainance and repairs such that the 170,000 miles that are on the clock will not be an issue moving forward for the next 100K miles. I started with the changing the differential fluid, transmission fluid and filter, replace the shocks...

Easy Expert~ Yesterday after our program The Bible on Trial finished at 11AM, a friend of mine came over to the house to help both Rick and me to deal with some car issues that have been presenting for a while. Ricks little red car has an ongoing coolant leak that he could not find, and I have been working on our 6 month 'new' 2006 Ford F-150 little by little to get it squared away such that I kno...

Count on it~ In dealing with events in the news of the world today, the one thing you can know for sure is that more often than not what you see and hear is not what you should be getting. There is almost always a hidden agenda in the reporting of events by what is commonly known as the Main Stream Media (henceforth MSM) that supports on side and denigrates and vilifies the opposing side, and make...

Party Talk~ My wife and I went to a St. Patricks day party at the home of a good friend yesterday evening, and as I listened to the conversations that were occuring between the guests the primary topic was (of course) what was occurring in the Eukraine. Every single person there was horrified as to what happening (me included), and ever person there (except me) was blaming Russia and Putin for the...

Best Meal Ever~ Last night my wife and I went to a high end steak house for dinner. My daughter gave us a gift card as an anniversary present, but my wife wanted to combine the dinner as part of my birthday celebration, so we went to the restaurant yesterday, my birthday. It was literally the best meal I have eaten 'out' in the past 50 years or so. The last time I had a meal this good was in the l...

RE-brithday~ Most Christains that I have met can tell you the day, time and circumstance when they were 'born-again'. This is especially true for the Evangelical and Penticostal branches of Christianity, that put a premium on the emotional component of salvation-how you feel about salvation is much more important than the learning and knowing how you are 'saved'.  Now this is all well and good as...

What would you do? ~ ~ If everything you believed about salvation through Jesus Christ was wrong? ~ If everything you trusted to be true about good and evil was the opposite? ~ If everything you understood about politics in the world was not what it seemed on the surface? ~ If those people that you just knew were good turned out ot be evil, and those you thought were evil were actually good? ~ If...

Deception~ Have you ever heard the expression, "Not everything is as it seems"? This statement describes perfectly what the world is now experiencing with the 'war' in the Eukraine. If you watch MSM at all you are probably feeling as if the world is about to come to an end in a giant fireball of nuclear holocaust, and the only way to stop it is to sanction Russia into oblivion, or start world war...

"Look once and see the surface; look twice and see what is beneath!" - D. Neufeld “Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.”― Phaedrus (Roman Philosopher and Fabalist) It is times such as this that I really miss our good friend past Dr. Rich Humpal. Rich was a firebrand that when he got his teeth i...

Word Games~ The latest social craze that has swept Twitter, and that has now been bought by the New York Times for millions of dollars, is the cute little word game WORDLE. It is a word guessing game that has captured the hearts and minds of millions of people world wide. The rules are simple and straight forward, and by all accounts addictive. It is fascinating to me that this is true in a societ...

Endings and Beginnings~ Whenever there is a beginning there is and ending; and when there is an ending there often follows a new beginning.  A wonderful quote from Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchet in the movie The Muppet Christmas Carol describes this situation perfectly: "Life is full of meetings and partings." Saying goodby to someone or something you love is difficult and often bittersweet, weve...

Repairs~ My 'new' 2006 Ford F-150 is on ramps in my driveway waiting for me to start a repair process to correct a problem by changing the fuel filter. I noticed (like dropping a hammer on a bare toe) that although my mileage had never been good, it started to get really bad recently; 'bad' as in the 10 mpg range. In talking to a friend that has this same engine in his Crown Vic I should be gettin...

Assumptions~ The single thing that gets the most people into the most trouble is making assumptions. When we 'assume' (as the old saying goes) we make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me' (ass-u-me). While this is cute it is also more true than people would like for it to be. When we assume we bypass a very important step in the process of drawing a consistent and valid conclusion about anything, and that...

Rescue~ I just watched a short video of a hunting dog rescuing a fawn. The video opens with a large dog swimming with something in it's mouth. As the dog gets closer it becomes clear that has a small deer in it's mouth. The dog swims to a fairly steep bank on the side of this river, climbs out with the deer in it's mouth, repositions the deer, and climbs the bank where it's owner takes the deer fr...

An End to Sadness ~ There is a lot of sadness in the world today, what with the situations involving politics, the 'Pandemic' (Plandemic) causing fear where fear is not called for, with the world wide economic slump, supply chain issues, and a myriad of other concerns in daily life. Closer to home there is sadness in Ricks household because of his mother-in-law passed away on Wednesday from a long...

Red Letter Day~ In reading the Bible, especially the King James Version (KJV), there is an editorial marker that everyone notices right at the begiinning of their reading in the New Testament, and that is that the words of Jesus are in red ink. Most people believe (as with my esteemed father-in-law Fred) that every word in red was certainly the very words of Jesus, that He spoke directly to us acr...

Cancer~ Our beautiful Calico cat Molly is dying from cancer. Two weeks ago we took her to the vet for some dental work, and the xrays showed that she has cancer in her jaw. We had noticed a small bulge at the base of her right jaw, and had taken her in for pre-op blood work a month ago, and the vet did an exam and believed it was an infection, for which she gave us antibiotics. It wouldn't have ma...

"Are We There Yet?"~ Parents that have take a road trip with children know that the words "Are we there yet?" are the most dreaded words in the English language. Why? Because once said they don't stop being said until the drive is over. The only words that are equal to those words are, "I've got to go to the bathroom"; especially when they are said 10 minutes after leaving the house. Anticipation...
