Book review: “Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation”

Skilled Workman Posted on by

I just spent an enlightening, mind-twisting Sabbath devouring this book. It cleared up so many objections I have always had about my upbringing as a top science student in the 1950s, and in my Christian life since 1974. I’ve known that governing my life by my walk in the Spirit coupled with sincere, deep Bible study meant that I could not ignore Genesis. But I’d never questioned my eons of time assumption. Now I can see that … Continue reading →

Evolution is ridiculous

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Evolution is ridiculous. The Lord has brought me into repentance lately as I have been confronted with the facts proving that evolution is merely a poorly thought out religion. For example, explosions generate destruction and chaos. The idea that a Big Bang resulted in mankind and civilization is absurd. But it goes much further than that. The Beginning and the Ending Should the Bible be spiritualized? by Dr. David R. Reagan This article is one of the best, … Continue reading →

Thank you for the trial, Lord

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Thank you for the trial , Lord. I was listening to John Hagee this morning. He was on one of his wonderful tirades again about the glory of Jesus. But then he slipped into something I have heard over and over since becoming a believer as I studied scripture. Sadly, I rarely hear it from the pulpit. Rejoice in your trials Maybe the NASB puts it better: exult in our tribulations [Romans 5:3]. Pastor Hagee was talking about … Continue reading →

Here’s a link to an excellent article about dry times

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The Desert Experience This is written by the leader of some home churches in Colorado—well, actually, he’s probably more anti-religious than that. Be that as it may, it is an excellent article and certainly reflects my experience over the past for decades. You need to understand this stuff. Dry times are a good thing Let the Lord minister to you freely.

How ugly was Jesus ?

Skilled Workman Posted on by

How ugly was Jesus ? Of course I can say that! The Bible says it. When was the last time you considered it? Jesus was ugly or worse. Let’s look at the relevant scriptures. How ugly was Jesus ? Just as there were many who were appalled at him— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— [Isaiah 52:14 NIV] Oh, but that was just on the … Continue reading →

Dad’s the One to Like in Social Media, Gaming, Entertainment | News – Advertising Age. “Dads, even more than moms, believe they’re spending more time with their kids these days than their parents did. But how dads are spending that time skews heavily toward media, entertainment and the internet, according to a new broad-ranging survey… The Ipsos LMX Family survey… found dads are spending 50% or more time than moms with kids online, playing video games and going … Continue reading →

What Harold Camping Got Right

Skilled Workman Posted on by

What Harold Camping Got Right. This is a very interesting article by Phil Cooke in Charisma, but I think Cooke missed the real point. Nothing reaches this level of attention without spiritual power. So, the question becomes, what is the power behind the ad campaign for the end of the world [that didn’t happen]? Is God behind it? Before you dismiss this thought entirely, it might be the power of God—at least in part. If we read … Continue reading →

Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Dealing with false teachers & bad prophecy is a constant issue today. I’ve spent some time over the past week in conversations on the Gentle Wisdom blog about false teachers and how to handle that issue. Poor Peter! The writer of the blog, Peter Kirk, has been involved in herding cats. This morning I’ve been working on my bible study of the Timothys and Titus. I thought I’d share a short portion of that. 2 Timothy 3:8–9 … Continue reading →

Called to teach the Word?

Skilled Workman Posted on by

If you’re Called to teach the Word – then God has given us our mode of operation. Remember we’ll be judged more strictly because of the responsibility of the calling. Timothy 2:24-26 The slave of the Lord must not be argumentative. He or she must be kind to everyone, inclined and gifted to teach, patient, correcting those opposed to your teaching with gentleness. God might give them repentance so they can come to know the Truth. In … Continue reading →
