There is a trend of defiling the sacred, and it reminds of the apostle’s warning, “In the last days it will be difficult for people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred..” (2 Timothy 3:2, NLT). This Olympic scoffing is another sign we are in the end times. The sacrilege is only aimed at Christianity. There is no mocking of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age, and etc. Rather these religions are peddled in media, even in commercials while Christianity is ridiculed in displays like this.    We have as Christians enjoyed a long period of favor, and now we are r...

  In these times we may feel ourselves beginning to fray, with all the changes technologically and all the turmoil from The Holy Land to the New World. We may feel ourselves overstimulated, overwhelmed, and overwrought. Thanks be to our God there is hope!    Our Lord sustains us, strengthens us in these times!: “He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ’s return.” (1 Corinthians 1:8).  “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength (sustain).” (Isaiah 40:29)  “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen (sustain) you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)  “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens (sustains) me.” (Philippians 4:13)  These verses can give us courage! That we are not abandoned in the madness of this world that seeks to surmount us. Our Savior is there to susta...

  We as people tend to make extreme promises, vows, and pledges. People say things like “I will love you forever,” “I will never forget this,” and “As long as I live I will honor what you did.” The problem with these statements is that we cannot possibly be sure we will fulfill them. You may not love someone forever because they start making choices that tears you down and themselves down. You may not remember what that person did for you because you get brain injury, amnesia, Alzheimer's or just time & stressors made you forget. And while you may intend to honor the memory of someone or their legacy, a time may come when you fail to do so.  So why do we make these grand pledges? Why does Hallmark print them on cards? Why cannot we prove our love by daily saying “I love you,” rather than “I shall always love you,” and “I will love you forever and ever.” The nature of making ostentatious vows is that we intend to fulfill them, but have not the capacity of foresight to see w...
