We Manufacture Our Own Problems

Creation ... "If there is no beginning, there can be no end. From the inception of man, he has attempted to psychoanalyze God and therefore, man either worships God or else he attempts to idolize another god or puts himself in the place of God. Two of the most basic elements of human existence are the uncertainty of life and the fact that death is inevitable. Even for those who think death ends it all, it is only logical to examine what may lie after death and give some serious attention and preparation before it may be forever too late."

Choices ... "All throughout life it is our choices that reveal who we are, far more than our abilities. For example: Promote what you love, instead of bashing what you hate. Good choices we can live with. “

Marriage ... "If anything is designed, it's because there is a designer. Whether it is a car, an airplane or a house; it could even be a marriage. There is always a mastermind behind the master plan. No government subcommittee envisioned it. No social organization developed it. Marriage was conceived and born in the mind of God. God created Marriage. Marriage without Christ's design is merely a wedding ceremony. “

Parenting ... "Children need love and love is not weak, sporadic or insincere; rather it is tender, passionate, strong, sincere and should be patterned after God's love. During these formative years is when parents have a great opportunity to instill strong values and work ethics in their children. Good character is not formed in a day or a week, but rather day by day, little by little."

Psychology ... "The study of psychology deals with the mind, its senses and human behavior. The Bible is not a textbook on psychology; rather it is about God and His relationship to mankind, whom He has created. Much is mentioned in the Bible about human behavior, and the Bible speaks with final authority."

Time ... "We all know that time heals, steals and flies. Time is something we can't save, borrow, loan, store, buy, sell, hide, pause, trade, manufacture or see. In essence, time is what it is, and time marches on silently. Time is like the wind, you can feel it coming, you can't see it leaving, but there is evidence it passed us by."

Wealth ... "Wealth, according to the Bible, is like fire, both good and yet dangerous. God warns us about the danger of wealth. Wealth can be appreciated in terms other than money, such as the Unconditional Love of God, health, peace of mind, contentment and the joy of giving to others."
