The Bloody Evidence of the O.J. Simpson TrialI really hate to say it, but this information makes its point best as an outline. It is shorter and makes its points more directly. My vomiting out additional verbiage doesn’t add anything to the conversation.
The Devil is in the details, and the more details, the more Devil.We’ve all seen it happen. Someone tells a lie, then they have to tell a lie to support that lie,and then…and then… and then… Most of us in day-to-day life can spot when this happens. Just by the multiplication of explanations and the complexity of their connections we start to mistrust the situation and the person. Do …
I grew up on a dairy farm and milked cows in a milking parlor every morning and every evening for over 20 years. Why is that important? It gave me nightmares for years.
You see, at that time, a cow would come into the milking parlor to be milked on an elevated pathway. To entice the cow to come in and stand still some grain was placed in a feeder …
“The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins is the best selling book on atheism of all time. Thankfully, Dr. Dawkins summarizes his central argument on pages 186-189 (depending on the version or release of the book you are reading) and we will concentrate on that. If you feel the need to read the entire book after this, go ahead. I’ve read it more than once and, if I were an atheist, …
Yes, that’s right, you need to be truly open-minded. People with theistic beliefs are always accused of not being open-minded.

Just who do some people treat as if they are God?
“Follow the Truth, wherever it leads.” was the mantra of Antony Flew. Dr. Flew was the worlds most pominent Athiest for half a century starting in the late 1950’s .

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” Winston Churchill
So why do you need courage to simply consider the possibility of God…or Not God?
Because you can make either choice, to believe or not believe, because that choice is the easy way out. Moreover, almost everyone who makes a choice, thinks everyone who chose the opposite is “taking the …
10Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
Such a short but powerful verse. We are commanded to spend time carefully considering what pleases Jesus. This done through prayer and study of the Bible – and then applying that to our life!
11Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do …
1Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved usa and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
