The history of humanity is punctuated by prayerful people. There is some energy that drives people to remain in prayerful mode. But God advised the Israelites to be wary of idolatry, found in glorifying physical objects. Without worshipping some deity, in the physical form, ordinary humans feel vulnerable. Such prayerful…

The conditions of this world are characterized by treating aliens with scorn. This behaviour is even noticeable in animal kingdoms. A foreigner cannot be easily accommodated in a group, regardless of the benefits obtainable from the foreigner. However, humans are equipped with the reasoning capacity, designed to make good judgments…

The business of evaluating to effectively pinpoint deceptive pastors is not as accessible as most people assume. Being genuine does not necessarily mean what one agrees with. Pastors are as many as anyone can call themselves a pastor and attract followers. Neither does this mean those preaching differently should be…

There is no greater sin than being right, in this world. Adolf Hitler earned the title of being the worst tyrant of the twentieth century. But some people may respect Hitler for standing for what he thought was right. He still believed in his convictions and committed suicide before he…

Change requires invalidating everything considered beneficial to self, in this life. Changing from doing what is considered right, by…

Without appreciating the spirituality of the New Testament, those declaring, God’s Law is done away with, are misleading people. As applicable to the physical nature, the law is not done away with. One has to first accept the reality of death, before accepting the reality of not being under the…

The bitterness of Adolf Hitler was transmitted to other Germans, who then carried out genocide against the harmless…
