Plato’s Phaedrus

Ecclesiastes 1:9 New International Version (NIV)  “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” When you think of Greek philosophers, Plato should be the first name that comes to mind.  Socrates taught him, and he taught Aristotle.  However, most experts agree that […]

Forty

For years I read the Bible just like it’s a regular book.  Now with more spiritual maturity I’ve learned that it reveals far more about what’s really important to know than I ever realized from casual reading.  It’s insufficient to simply read the Bible–one must study it, too!  The irony is that doing so causes […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Romans 8:37-39 New International Version (NIV)  “ . . . in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, […]

Life’s Brevity

James 4:14 New International Version (NIV)  “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.  What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” When young, most people don’t have a thought about dying.  That’s for old people–right?  As one plows through the years, the mindset […]

1 Corinthians 1:20 New International Version (NIV)  “Where is the wise person?  Where is the teacher of the law?  Where is the philosopher of this age?  Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” 1 Corinthians 1:27 New International Version (NIV)  “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the […]

Truth Twisted

Luke 18:38a New International Version (NIV)  “ ‘What is truth?’ retorted Pilate.” Truth is a hot issue today.  Those persons who consider themselves as progressive feel that truth is relative–that is, what is true for you isn’t true for me.  As a result, truth is personalized.  Whatever you believe is your truth.    I’m here […]

End Times

Revelation 1:1-2 New International Version (NIV)  “1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.”  What makes […]
