If I haven't before, let me ask you now. Can somebody explain a "faith walk" to me? I frequently refer to my own spiritual transformation that way and I've had others describe this "thing" that I'm on ...'as you go down this road'....'as you complete this walk.' I've even used the faith walk phrase when trying to explain a new and different view of the world as now seen by someone who believes being saved is more than just some trite saying. This, whatever it is, is serious and I have to admit,...
There is a question I've been mulling over and, if you don't mind, I would like your input. Does one follow the Word of God because you know you should or, because you have to?

My immediate reaction to a recent sermon I heard was to share it. Although this was not the topic of the message, the pastor’s comment about life and death made me think about my own obituary.

Hence, he has an advantage when it comes to orchestrating the events of this world, in order to accomplish two, very important things to him—things that we should all be aware of. One, I believe, is to get us to believe he doesn’t exist. Two, is to show us a perspective on this world that...
I remember reviewing the letters of Paul in Bible study. In doing so, I was constantly reminded that one cannot look at Paul without really seeing Jesus' amazing handiwork. Now you need to know that I think Paul is an awesome person, when it comes to the story of his life. I haven't found a biography or autobiography of anyone in or outside of "The Good Book," who comes close to my admiration for Paul; Jesus notwithstanding. Because the two are so closely associated with one another, I can't...
