Sin & Evil
What is sin? Why is there evil in the world? Why do bad things happen to good people and why doesn´t God just prevent it?
Aliens in the Bible  Are there aliens in the Bible? No matter what you mean by the word, the answer is yes. We’re talking good guys, bad guys, supernatural powers, time, space and eternity. Really. Angry with God  How could a loving God allow a drunk driver to kill a teenage boy and walk away unharmed from the wreck? Why does He send horrific storms to wipe out tens of thousands of innocent lives? While I don’t pretend to have all the answers, I offer some possible insights into questions of this sort. Grace is Sufficient  It never fails that God works everything together for good -yes, even my sin- for His eternal purpose Halloween - Are Ghosts Real?  A 2007 poll found that about a third of Americans believe in ghosts. But why? I would venture to say that many have had some kind of spooky experience they can’t otherwise explain. Others probably add a credulous belief in ghosts to their heartfelt conviction that Elvis is still alive. Hope  What hope really is, and how we can have it no matter how good or bad the times.
How Many Laws Have You Broken Today?  I tried to find out how many laws there are in the United States. There are thousands upon thousands of laws on the books, and new ones are constantly being made.How about if we tackle the much shorter list of laws in Exodus 20? Wonder how I’ll score today on keeping the Big Ten? It's a Dirty World  It's a dirty world we live in. Literally, of course, our planet is made of dirt. Spend any time on it, and you're going to get dirty. When Jesus washed the dirt off His disciples’ feet at the last supper, he was teaching them several things, including the necessity of daily confession of sin. Make Your Life Stand For Something  The fruit of the spirit should be evident in our lives. We are to be a light to the world. How are we supposed to be that when we continue to do the very things we shouldn’t?
Our Fallen Planet - Genesis 3  What is the matter with this world? Why do so many bad things happen all the time? Isn't God in control? Yes! It all hangs together if you start at the beginning and read the first chapters of the story. Pride - The Original Sin  Why do we humans do the bad things we do? It mostly boils down to noxious pride. The First Dysfunctional Family - Genesis 4  Families are increasingly broken today, and the fallout is terrible. But dysfunctional families have been around since juice dripped down Eve's chin. God loved and used people with broken homes and relationships then, and He still does today. The Unforgivable Sin  Don’t you ever wonder? What is that one thing you could do that God will not or cannot forgive? Is there such a sin?
