[39] You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; [40] yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40 RSV

Perhaps some of us suffer from the It's Too Good to Be True Syndrome. When we obey the Lord, things will be okay. However, some of us refuse to believe that. That's the It's Too Good to Be True Syndrome.

Does the Lord want us to enjoy life?

Does anyone here watch Greg Laurie's Harvest Ministry on TV? If so, what do you think of it?

What are we supposed to do when there is nothing left to worry about?

1. Walk with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:17). 2. You are safe (trust the Lord). 3. Enjoy your glory (assuming you've repented of your sin). 4. Take it easy (the Lord isn't a slave-driver).

It would seem to me there are (at least) two audiences out there. One is trying hard to please the Lord and sometimes needs encouragement (You're sins are forgiven!). The other isn't trying hard at all and needs some discipline (God hates sin!). I might be trying to offer encouragement by...

It's been a while since I've shared my most recent "equation," meant to bring me peace and security. Here is my latest attempt: 1. Faith 2. Glory. (Enjoy the glory the Lord bestows on us when we obey his commandments.)

The Democrats have bent the law to go after their chief political opponent. I would predict the Republicans will win this November. Will they bend the law to go after their political opponents?

What is the purpose of scripture? Is it God? Does it introduce us to God?

I would suggest the world looks at "freedom" as meaning "you can do anything you want." A Christian definition of "freedom" might be "having no problems." Is there a way to have no problems?

I'm finding in my old age that it is helpful to be flexible. If someone needs you to do something at 11:00, and you normally eat lunch at 11:00, you can always eat lunch at 10:30. You don't have to say, "Sorry, I can't help you - I eat lunch at 11:00."

We are now a country that tries to imprison political opponents on fake charges. What makes us different than Russia or China or North Korea?

You tell me: Democrats look to strip Secret Service protection from Trump if he's convicted

The Lord said we are to rest on the sabbath. People argue on what day the sabbath is. I think some are missing the point. I think the point is this: We need a day of rest each week. [8] "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; [10] but...

Iran has attacked Israel. Israel will defend themselves, and when they do, the Left will accuse them of atrocities, in the same way they accused Israel of atrocities after Hamas attacked them.
