This also refutes the idea that a person has to breath air before he can have his spirit given to him. Those examples which seem to indicate this are from Genesis 2 and Ezekiel 37, there are also some in Psalms but these are the main two. In all of these cases, it is talking abou...
Not just the tasks of living (although that’s a lot) but also the decision-making, the weighing of options, the research, etc. When you’re in a couple (or family) you can take turns wearing those hats, even if one of you does it most of the time, it’s rarely all of the ti...
We can trust Him. God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalms 50, wow that is quite a passage. I will let you read it so I don’t offend anyone!) If we sell our little bit of cattle on our hill it’s not the end. God owns the cattle on all the other hills and he wil...
Consider one more possibility, that all the Psalms between 1-150 represent a life well lived in prayer, in the Word, and ending in praise. The Psalms reveal most, if not all, of the experiences of life and then give us a vocabulary for prayer to address those experiences. So then, whe...

translation or meaning you prefer, the point is that, in English, you have to pick one. When you read Matthew in its original Greek, however, you can sit much closer to the mystery — just as Christians have been doing for thousands of years — and wonder, what did God mean by that...
Satan does not know us, nor can he reveal to us anything we need to know about ourselves. Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. David did not trust ...
intrusive means can be used to extend life. A Biblical perspective would not require this and would allow patients to die naturally. This does not justify withdrawal of food or water to hasten death but does mean that patients are not required to accept every medical intervention that is on ...
