Good Works
Many Christians expect to be in Heaven because they are “basically good,” as if they are not doing so many bad things that they would be destined for Hell.
Prison Bars
When Jesus came to set captives free, he came for you and me, not just the people who were staring out through prison bars.
Broken Promises
Does God always keep his promises? If he does, people might have reason to fear. God’s blessings have conditions.
Legal Immigrant
Many jokes have been written about what is required to pass the pearly gates and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Connect the Dots
As a child, I was given blank pages with a scattering of numbered dots. I drew a line from one dot to the next until I could see the mystery picture.
Prayer Believing
Some think prayer doesn’t matter, because God will do what he wants, anyway. Others pray and nothing happens, so they assume either God doesn’t care or he isn’t…
Murphy’s Law
Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Is that true? Wouldn’t it be nice if everything that went wrong would actually wind up right?
Just Ask
What if a Christian doctrine was based on a misinterpretation of just one verse? Out of over 23,000 verses, that’s not even half of 1 percent.
Temptation’s True Test
The typical recited line from The Lord’s Prayer is “lead us not into temptation .” Is God a controlling force in whether people are tempted to do evil?
Automatic Door
Did Jesus say all I had to do was knock and the door would open? Supposedly, all we have to do is ask.
Child of Stature
Story books picture David as a child when he faced Goliath. Is that fable or fact? David was the youngest of eight sons.
A Fishy Story
Based on scientific fact, the biblical story of Jonah reads like a fairy tale. Could it possibly be true? To be thrown into the sea, Jonah had to beat the odds.
