A few months ago, someone sent me a link to this article and asked me what I thought. This is my response. There were a couple of good things and one or two Biblically accurate things in this article. They mentioned that sin started in the Garden that sin is sinful and most important for […]
I thought I would take a few more minutes to talk some more about this article. I wish there were a way to talk about the article without seeming to attack the author. I don’t know anything about Lucy Ann Moll and I don’t have any ill will toward her. I favor giving her the […]

The observation that going through doorways causes us to forget “what I was going to do.” The title is misleading, however. They don’t […]
The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does […]
I was surfing through my Facebook pages the other night and I ran across this article in the Huff Post web page.
