Ecclesiastes 12:10

  Fritz Haber might have saved more lives than any other human history. Having one of the great minds in history for chemistry, figured out how to convert the commonest of chemicals —the nitrogen in the air— into a chemical fertilizer. With cheap industrial fertilizers now available, farmers no longer were limited to compost piles or dung to nourish their soil. Even by the time World War I broke out, Haber had likely saved millions from starvation, and we can still thank him for feeding most of the world’s 6.7 billion people today.   Yet Haber was a monster. He cared little about fertilizers. He actually pursued cheap ammonia to help Germany build nitrogen explosives. But his most deadly work was in chemical weapons. He created the formula, Haber law, to calculate just how much poison was need for how much time to be deadly. He created and oversaw the use of deadly gas attacks in World War I. His wife so horrified by his actions she killed herself. Haber didn’t even...

    It seems the judging bandwagon always has plenty of seats.  It’s ironic since we never had a culture that emphasizes tolerance more, yet it seems more than ever we are quick to pronounce judgment on the target of the moment.  Now some of these targets are pretty easy ones.  The hypocrisy, the lies, the foolishness are so evident it is hard not to condemn.  More and more I see that everyone, including Christians, are all too willing to jump on the condemnation bandwagon of those that are looked upon as wrong in our eyes.  However let’s consider an example from scripture; Jude 1:9 But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"     Here Michael, the chief prince of Israel (Daniel 10:13;21), the being that casted down Satan (Revelation 12:17), the one that will give the call at the ret...

            Over the past few months the sports world has been filled with stories of scandal and outrage.  An owners racist comments leaked out to the world.  A hidden video showing a player assaulting his girlfriend.  The indictment of a star for abusing his children.  Student athletes accused of several crimes that are seemingly swept under the rug.  These stories are not only dominating the sports section but also front page as well.           The stories, in what is typical for our modern news have been viewed and reviewed ad nauseam.  In all that reporting however I noticed one angle that never seems to be discussed much.  The owner whose racist statements were leaked by his mistress, no one made much of an issue of him having a relationship with a woman that was not his wife.  No one mentions that the couple living together outside of wedlock had been dri...

  Technology makes life easier. I can do more with my smart phone today than I could have done with my computer, cell phone, PDA, and camera combined from just a few years back. Things get done easier, faster and with less thought with the help of technology. Technology informs us, teaches us, entertains us, and helps keep us informed with friends and the world . I couldn't calculate all the time and energy technology frees up.  It certainly makes thing easier, even sin.     Those things we love about technology, the ease to get information and entertainment, the things we can share, the knowledge we can gain, can have a dark side. Because it wrapped up in a new style we might not recognize for what it is. It’s when Facebook makes us busybodies, Twitter is our place to boast,  and Instagram a means to show our vanity. Our blog is our way to murmur and complain, our email to spread lies, the comment section is a place  to ...

Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz and Jeffrey Dahmer have more in common than just being serial killers. These three murderers are also connected by the fact that each of them tortured and/or killed animals during their childhoods. In fact a leading commonality in 99 percent of serial killers is cruelty to animals at an early age. In a study of male prison inmates who were deemed violent offenders, found that 56% admitted to having committed acts of violence against animals. Researchers as well as FBI and other law enforcement agencies nationwide have linked animal cruelty to domestic violence, child abuse, serial killings.   This research should not come as a shock to us. The Bible told us long ago in Proverbs 12:10: " A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel .”   Cruelty to an innocence life is a sign of warped mind . I wonder what that says about us as a society in how we treat the unborn.  S ince Roe v...

   I often hear today people exclaim that Christians are too judgmental in regard to moral issues:  Why can't they just let people do what they want and stay out of others business.  What gives them the right to tell others what to do!.     While it is true faithful followers of Jesus are not to be busybodies in other affairs, those that think it is unchristian to take a moral stand on issue forget a truth we are told in Proverbs 8:13.     It says, “ The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate .” We should hate evil because God hates evil .      An attitude that thinks "I can do whatever I want , whenever I want",  it an arrogant way to approach God. Rather than taking a poll, or having a vote on what people think should be right and wrong, it is much better to examine the word of God to see just what is right and wrong. To stand a...
