“Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine… (Matthew 7:6) When I checked out a similar verse to this one about the Woman who Jesus the Jewish Teacher compared her (and her countrymen) to Dogs, I noticed something quite striking. The (Canaanite) woman came and knelt before Him.Continue reading “Giving what is Holy to the Dogwoods”

Mutual Submission or Me First?
Submission to the head of the house in a dysfunctional relationship is where many people found themselves in the past. The Father was the Head of the House and the Mother and Children were in his hands. He had the authority and sadly, in far too many families his word ended all discussion. This dysfunctionalContinue reading “Mutual Submission or Me First?”
I Was Blind and Now I See!
In this blog post entitled “I Was Blind and Now I see”, I refer to some of the Testimony of Faith I self published as The Ecumenical Affair. My self published work is a true story that holds up a mirror or a spiritual window that reflects the light of the Gospel. As it happenedContinue reading “I Was Blind and Now I See!”
Authority is Fundamental
I agree with ThePreachersWord when the Reverend Ken Weliever says [the triune] God’s opinion is the only one that counts. Here’s why. The LGBTQIA2S+ demographic is re-interpreting Scripture Passages they claim are “clobber” passages to change people’s opinions about “who can sleep with who” and when and how. This demographic says the Heterosexual demographic hasContinue reading “Authority is Fundamental”
“Honour your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise)

Servant Leadership
Putting your team first, yourself second. Or in the words of faith. Putting God and God’s plan for humanity and the integrity of Creation first, and yourself second.
Cultural Values are challenging Christian Values
Church Language is difficult to understand in a culture that prides itself on progressive social values. Patriarchal language and culture that is expressed with Paul’s letters are falling on deaf ears and “houses [of worship] are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged” (Isaiah 6:11). For example Paul says. “…a man will leaveContinue reading “Cultural Values are challenging Christian Values”
The Faith of our Father
In today’s world, Fathers are often ridiculed and seen as oppressors who keep women from flying like Eagles. And yet, the words of Isaiah who we can no longer see in the flesh, live on. They speak to us. As Paul writes in Hebrews 11:4 and lifted up by Ken Weliever in his blog postContinue reading “The Faith of our Father”
Finding the Meaning of Life
Puts us in the Service of Others. Serving others we discover and learn new truths.
Servant Leadership
Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord has given to each. I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. Paul and Apollos said yes to God’s plan to plant and water an everlasting kingdom. Paul says “we are just servantsContinue reading “Servant Leadership”
