Love is in the Air
On this Valentine's Day, I would like to recite some lines from an ancient love poem to the love of my life, my wife:
The Allegorical Genesis?
"He [Jesus] answered, 'Have you not read that He who created them in the beginning made them male and female?' " (Matt 19:4).
Pro Evo
A few years ago, a college student in our church gave me a copy of a book that was being handed out on her campus like cotton candy. It's titled Pro Evo: Pro Evolution - Guideline for an Age of Joy. The author is Asama? The book represents a tragic attempt to formulate an ethical system founded upon Darwinian evolution.
The Wages of Sin
Fitness nut Jack Lalanne died yesterday. He was 96 and looked incredible. Read about his death here:
The Early Earth
"Your science class is going on a field trip, but this trip is a little out of the ordinary. You're going to travel back billions of years to the earliest days on earth . . . Enter the time machine and strap yourself in . . . a dial on the dashboard shows the number of years before the present. You stare at the dial - it reads 4.6 billion years" (Science Explorer, Pearson Prentice Hall, 8th Grade textbook, p. 338).

An Undefiled Marriage Bed
"Let marriage be held in high honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous" (Hebrews 13:4).
Weeping in the New Year
"Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom" (James 4:9).
Read a Book in 2011
Jesus said the greatest commandment we could possibly endeavor to obey is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matt 22:36, emphasis mine).
