In 1 Samuel 26, King Saul pursued David, intending to kill him. Then, while Saul and his army were sleeping nearby, David crept up, right beside Saul, but refused to kill him, and instead took his spear and water jug. (1 Samuel 26:7-12) It is curious that these two objects of Saul’s were...

Thanks for the post. Why not look instead for those beliefs we have in common and ways we can work together in the world? As for “blasphemy,” Romans 14 asks us to be gentle with others: 1. Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 5 One person considers...

Thanks! Yes, there should not be a conflict between the two, but when atheists teach science—biology, paleontology, etc.—they (perhaps deliberately) cast aspersions on Christianity in particular. On the other hand, Bible literalists often add confusion. Peace.

Thank you. Is this statement accurate? Classical dispensationalism sees a biblical distinction between Israel and the church; mid-Acts dispensationalism moves the dividing line to Acts 9. Before that time, what we might call the “church” was still a Jewish congregation under the law and...

Welcome! Help me understand what a “mid-acts believer“ is? Blessings.

Interesting! For the record: The original Apple Lisa computer (also known as the Lisa 1), released on January 19, 1983, had a base launch price of $9,995. This price included a 5 MB hard drive and was positioned as a high-end business machine with pioneering features like a graphical user...

Interesting question: thank you. Answer: the Psalms. After the reading the verse of the day from Biblegateway, I review a Psalm. Peace.

Plans set for the entire Bible to be read in honor of the USA’s 250 Anniversary. https://www.americareadsthebible.com/ Blessings.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I know nothing about living in Nevada. Best wishes to your friend.

We love our native ocotillo (“oh-ok-tee-yo”)! Fouquieria splendens, commonly known as ocotillo, is more closely related to the tea plant and blueberries than to cactuses. Blessings.

In November 2025, Appearing on The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox News, Kennedy fumed that he might “need bail money” if Schumer keeps blocking Republican efforts to reopen the government. “God, please give me patience. Because if you give me strength, I’m going to need bail money,” Kennedy...

Thanks for the pertinent comments. It is not quite accurate to say the desert is slowly dying, at least not around Tucson. The non-native species are definitely going away without a lot of help, but in the Catalina Foothills, our native floral species are Ok: just the right amounts of rain at...

See attached video. The shooter came to kill. The principal took violent action, risking his life to save lives. (He was wounded in the leg, but no one else was shot.) Question: Can a Christian justify violent personal action to save others or not?

Thanks for the question. As with any sprawling metropolis, Tucson has good points and not-so-good points. In no particular order: * slightly cooler than Phoenix, but with many micro-climates, depending on how close you are to the mountains * reasonable cost of living compared with CA, CO, NJ...

Thank you for the posts. It is times like this when I give thanks to God, who will see His purposes fulfilled, despite the machinations of devious people.

Thank for a stimulating set of questions. Another perspective: God spoke to Moses, and Moses in turn instructed the Hebrew tribes with God’s expectations and promises. It would appear in general that tribes required religious leaders, who purpose was/is to speak for God to the people of the...

Thank you, God, for inspiring researchers and working with them to improve our communications. May those taking advantage of the faster internet speeds use them wisely.

More history: Esther 3:10 So the king took his signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. Who were the Agagites? 1 Samuel 15: 32,33 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him in chains. And he...

Thank you for engaging. Ironic that this is a Turkish video, considering that the government would like to exterminate the Kurds. The Old Testament passage concerns Ethic Cleansing, not Ethnic Cleansing (genocide). Similarly, the wars against Hamas and Hezbollah are aimed at eliminating...

CENTURION: What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'? BRIAN: It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'. CENTURION: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on! . . . . For the record: “God’s” is possessive, singular, as in “God’s mercy,” so it does not...
