Lying to Save a Life

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Jacob moved his family to Egypt where his son Joseph was second in command.  After Joseph died a new Pharaoh arose who didn’t know Joseph.  This new pharaoh was afraid of the Israelites as the nation was growing stronger every day.  As a result, he enslaved the entire nation and commanded the midwives to kill all new baby boys.  (more…)

What Jesus Thinks of Brown Nosing

When in a group of people, it is not uncommon for someone to receive more attention.  This person may be good looking, more intelligent, wealthier, more important or simply more interesting.  Being more important seems to be quite common in our society.  There is always someone more important.  We feel special when someone more important talks to us and we go out of our way to ensure that person likes us.  (more…)

Is Evolution True?

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

Evolution claims that simple forms of life slowly evolved into larger complex organisms.  Those who hold to this idea point to how humans begin as a simple cell and then develop into larger sophisticated creatures.  The following points are for you to consider when analyzing evolution:

  1. A single cell is an extremely complex little factory.  The cell has a cell membrane that somehow decides what should go in and out.  Ribosomes turn amino acids into proteins.  The nucleus contains the nucleolus and chromosomes.  The chromosomes contain the master blue print or DNA.  The Nucleolus assembles the crucially needed ribosomes.  The endoplasmic reticulum are sugar storage warehouses and super highways for transportation.  The mitochondria manufactures ATP or storage batteries that power the cell.  The golgi bodies help package and transport protein.  And finally, the centrioles, which are essential to the cell division process.
  2. If the eye had evolved over millions of years, then it would have been useless until fully developed.  The eye does not function unless all the parts exist.  In addition, if evolution is based on mutation, how did every single animal decide that two eyes was better than one? (more…)

Sexual Temptations

On Wednesday in the Denver Post I read the story about Tim Evans, a Catholic priest that was indicted for allegedly sexually assaulting a teen.  The affidavit indicated that Evans was also accused of two other sexual liaisons.   I found this story very disturbing and it made me start thinking about sexual immorality and the terrible things that are happening all around us. 

First and foremost, everyone needs Jesus to change their hearts as we all suffer from a disease called sin.  Mark 7:21-23 says, “For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.”    (more…)
