We live in a very different world than we did just eight months ago. The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated people’s lives. Some believers reacted by scoffing at calls to isolate and avoid contact with others. They said it was not worse than the flu and that politicians were blowing it out of proportion. Other believers …

DO ALL THINGS REALLY WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD?
So is God doing a good job in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic? Is He paying attention? Does He care? Deist believe God created the world and then just set it in motion, gave mankind the ability to reason, and just sets back and observes. They use situations and circumstances like COVID-19, the 9-11 …

GOD’S ATTRIBUTES
Ernest Lee ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can’t for the life of me understand some of these fools who believe that ignoring sound counsel about the spread of this COVID-19 is Biblical. The same preacher in Louisiana who defied the Governor’s orders to not hold large gatherings now claims he will …
QUARANTINE IN THE BIBLE!
Ernest Lee is no fan of government. I ain’t into ‘Anarchy,'(No government) which is the state of a society being freely constituted without authorities or a governing body. I lean more Libertarian(limited government) because that political philosophy seeks to maximize political freedom and autonomy and it gives believers more freedom to preach the gospel. But …
COVID-19- God’s Thunderclap?
Old Ernest Lee has been taking some time off- social distancing they call it now. Sorry for not posting sooner about the virus. We need to make sure we understand during this time that GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE. He is still in charge and nothing happens He doesn’t know about. There is a …

BACK STABBING
The action or practice of criticizing someone in a treacherous manner while feigning friendship is known as backstabbing. While the word ‘back stabber or backstabbing’ is not in scripture, it was a common practice in Biblical times and remains so today. Let’s look at six examples of back-stabbing in the Bible: Judas betrayal of Jesus. …
MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN…..
A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Willie and Waylon said their heroes had always been ‘cowboys.’ People who die on the battlefield in service for their country are rightly called ‘heroes.’ A role model is a person looked to by others as an example …
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
The Bible doesn’t mention anything about making New Year’s resolutions, but it does urge believers to examine their lives on a regular basis. Lamentations 3:40 says, “Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.” Simply put, Christians should be making resolutions all the time. An excellent example of that practice …
FLAWED PEOPLE
Christianity Today wrote that President Trump should be impeached because of his lack of moral character/fiber. Some so-called Christian leaders jumped on their case and said ‘God used flawed people’ to accomplish His will. Three thoughts: (1) All of us are flawed. We are born sinners. We inherited a sin nature from Adam and until …
