Many Called, Few Chosen (True HR Management)

Recently, while studying in a business leadership course on Human Resource Management, I came across a prompt to share a worship thought, dealing with the subject. A helpful insight and devotional thought came to mind on some of the words of Jesus, which fit the setting in which he shared them. Being pleased with the resulting insight and devotion from the words of Jesus, I felt I should share them here to extend the lesson to more. God bless you in the ways of His truth!

Jesus said, “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 20:16). Continue reading →

God’s Stance, Leading, and Help in this sin-sick, suffering World

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:12-13)

Evil happens too much in our world and, unfortunately, it will happen more too. This, we are promised in God’s word. These are all signs of a planet in rebellion to the will and love of God. For the time, God permits much because we must learn to understand the Continue reading →

Mandatory Sunday Rest, Anyone? What about God’s Sabbath?

Today (Nov. 29, 2017), I was riding along in my car, and as an out-of-the-usual-order kind of thing, I happened to be listening to the radio – a Christian radio station (which if I’m going to listen, it generally would be such). Early that morning, I had forgotten my phone, which had my new audiobook listen on it (exploring history and church perspectives), so I had flipped on a Christian radio station. I decided to listen a bit, while driving this afternoon. While listening to this station from the Tri-Cities, WA area, Janet Mefferd, the Christian broadcaster and radio talk show host, came on with a one-minute sound bite. The substance of it immediately caught my attention!

She began highlighting a recent political fact, that in Poland, a legal bill was just passed which aims to eliminate Sunday shopping, for the most part, in their country by Continue reading →

Ben’s Story and Testimony

The following testimony has been available on my website for awhile now, but I figured I would add it instead to the growing collection of testimonies on my blog. If you have a desire to know my story of meeting Christ, and have some minutes to spare, I hope you’ll read on and be blessed. May God be glorified in all things for His mighty works! Amen.

Sabbath love-making: Is it biblical?

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: (10)  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: (11) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” – Exodus 20:8-11

The age old question for Sabbath-keepers arises – what is appropriate for the Sabbath day and what is not? Many have tossed ideas around concerning various activities from swimming to getting wet to walking a number of steps, etc. One of the questions people wonder about is love-making between spouses upon the Sabbath day.
