Eternal Torment?

By | 6 Jan 2026

I think I’ve made it pretty clear elsewhere here and here on Miscellaneous Ramblings how I feel about the antisocial-media behaviors exhibited by many self-proclaimed Christians. I’m reporting here my observations on yet another such event I recently witnessed on Farcebook where the comment count topped over 150,000 (and is still counting!). As it turns out, that event… Read More »

Alloys

As I was reading the Book of Isaiah today, the Lord used the following passage to trigger this article: How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards.

There… Read More »

Worship Faves

By | 16 Sep 2024

Awhile back, I wrote an article about modern worship and expressed how this era of worship music is by far my favorite of the many I’ve lived through and experienced over the last 70+ years. I’ve felt like the Holy Spirit wanted me to share some of the worship songs which have strongly impacted me of late. This… Read More »

Assurance of Salvation

By | 27 Aug 2024

When I first experienced the New Birth and was being discipled by The Navigators, the vital issue of assurance of salvation was the very first item on their agenda. Why is that? It’s because, if we don’t have this foundational principle down cold, we will never have strong faith and will continually experience spiritual defeat in this life.… Read More »
