“as thy days, so shall thy strength be”

Introduction Well, I am back.  I got a lot done, even had to do a few more things today, but it is good to be back.

The Men Have Left The Building

Yes, it appears the men have left the building….as I look from left to right.  Behind and in front of me.  With a deep sigh, I sit in a hallow hallway atop a stool.  Chalkboard empty in front of me. No teachers, no students  in sight. Scratching my head slightly, another deep sigh, I remember … Continue reading »

Is the Church Following the Culture

In what ways is the church lagging behind our culture?   Let me first say that I can only answer this question concerning the culture of United States in general, and the Western and South-central states in particular. Though, via TV and Internet I believe the same opinion holds true for other parts of the world. … Continue reading »

We Are Not to Tarry Until Christ’s Return, We Are to Occupy

                                                                               TARRY VS.
