April 1, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“There is no vaccine against stupidity” ~ Albert Einstein There is no doubt the number one phrase for 2021 will be “I am fully vaccinated,” and the second will be “I am not getting vaccinated.” What’s a person to do? Take the vaccine or avoid it at all cost? Is it all a bunch of… Read More »

Who God is, and if God even exists? How reasonable is it that human beings, by default, think primarily… Read More »

We Were Reborn

There are many… Read More »

The Heart of the Human Problem

March 2, 2021 By Harold Long 1 Comment

“The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” ~ Oswald J. Smith In the Gospel of Mark, we find a challenging scripture that many Christians have a hard time believing, especially about their own heart. 21 “It’s from the inside, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come: sexual sins, thefts, murders, 22 adultery, greed, evil actions, deceit, unrestrained immorality,… Read More »
