Studies on the Fringe of Christianity
Christian pastors of most churches I attended in my youth glossed over the subject of demons and evil spirits in their sermons, while some others never even brought up the subject. Occasionally, there would be mention of these entities in certain biblical studies, but even then the subject wasn’t really covered in depth. Ask most …
I don’t celebrate birthdays in the normal way, but I do recognize them as times to reflect upon the past year of our lives. I like to take note that I traveled another year around our sun and it’s a time to make plans on how to move forward in service to God. I just …
Many Christian writers and preachers foster the idea that we are living in the last days of the ‘end times’ as described in the Holy Bible, and I’m one of those that do. Of course, this term doesn’t mean the end of the world, but only the last days of the ‘age of grace’. This …
Someone asked me a few questions recently about the lack of female qualities within the Trinity. “Where does the feminine fit in the Godhead?” “If there is a father and a son, how come there is no Mother/Wife/Woman?” “How come women get totally left out of this family?” “What is wrong with our Messiah having …

I will present what I consider credible …
I’ve literally heard dozens of Christian pastors preach that the Holy Bible demands our support for the modern nation of Israel. And every one of those preachers tells us that Genesis, chapter 12, informs us that we’ll be blessed if we do, but cursed if we don’t. Even the popular magazine, Christianity Today stated that …
In today’s Christian churches, you will find a wide variety of approaches in the teaching style of Judeo-Christian learning, as well as how it is applied to today’s modern world. The presentation of church doctrine is varied from prudish and emotionally static to being ‘woke’ and weakened by ungodly beliefs and unchristian political activities. But …
In today’s world everyone is chasing after something, and for most people it is probably their own idea of pleasure, happiness, or prosperity. But, in reality, none of these attributes contribute to a deep sense of well being or contentment. Besides, chasing after wrong or hurtful things will only make us lonely or unhappy — …
Within each of us are networks of electrical and chemical channels that when stimulated, produce fear; this is a negative emotional feeling which is part instinct and part learned. We can even be scared when we are only imagining something, such as waiting for the results of a medical test or worrying about job security …
I’ve had a mysterious event happen in my life that I just don’t understand. It happened almost a half century ago (around 1977) and even though I’ve thought about it often, I have yet to comprehend its meaning or accurately understand how it could have happened. Although my story is true, it really isn’t any …
