Scorners and Scorning
“Scorner” is the strongest negative term which the OT uses to describe the wicked. It is diametrically opposed to the faithful (Psalm 1:1,2). Not only does the “scorner” choose the wrong way, but he mocks the right way. He is not merely misled, but he delights to mislead others. This is very opposite to the […]
Is He a Scorner or Not?
Do you think that Stephen was a scorner in Acts 7? After all, he did enfuriate a crowd of people with his rhetoric. They were religious people with good intentions and they couldn’t all be wrong, could they? He said this to them in vv. 51-53: Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye […]
Crowds
My, oh my, could Jesus draw a crowd. They clamored for Him. Several times He had to get out the special throng boat to stand on near shorelines. The first time in Mark, He asked for that boat, then after that it became standard prodecure in crowd control. It was very bad when He was […]
Things Look Good
In preparations for the school year, one of our teachers cleaned the junior high class room and was removing a wheelbarrow full of old books. She wasn’t throwing them away, just removing them to make more room to keep things neater in her room. With the wheelbarrow parked by the door, I started looking through […]

Go to JackHammer. Do not pass Go.

Well, of course, they are being held under tight security in Brussels, Belgium, so stop asking ridiculous questions. Yes, I will continue […]
Blog Topic in Newspaper Article
Tom Lochner wrote about this subject of my previous blog here. He was very fair and perhaps couldn’t have written it better for us if I had written it myself. I thought we had a very good 30-60 minute conversation with him seeing things much more my way at the end, but you never know […]
Intolerance of Belief
My internet service was down for a little while yesterday, but when I got back on, I had received three emails concerning a “peace march” and “hate speech” in our town of El Sobrante (location of our church building). Let me fill you in some details. Over a month ago, toward the end of our […]
Conversation Boggles
Yes, I can at times get myself into trouble with things that I say. I probably can even do that enough to keep myself busy and, without trying, actually authenticate what James wrote in 3:2 of his epistle: “If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man.” I’m not a perfect […]
Strange Symptoms
My son had a game this morning in his summer basketball league. It was the first game of the morning and we were there fifteen minutes early. Neither coach showed up on time, and my son’s coach didn’t show up at all. And that isn’t even what this blog is about. The not-showing-up isn’t strange, […]
