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 […]

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 […]
