Knowledge – The Arnold Journey

What We Don’t Know

Jude 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. I am amazed at the lack of knowledge of so many people these days, especially the lack of basic history knowledge. We can see this as the propagandaContinue reading “What We Don’t Know”

Second Hand – Acts 19:15

Acts 19:15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” Have you ever been around someone who “name drops” in almost every conversation? It is almost like they know everyone of ‘importance’ and using that other person’s name somehow boosts their own standing inContinue reading “Second Hand – Acts 19:15”

Designed to Question

Insider Trading

Mark 4:9-13 One of the facts of life that sometimes feels uncomfortable these days is that we are not all equal. We don’t all have the same physical, mental or emotional strength. We don’t all grow up in homes with the same supportive, connected adults. Our neighborhoods are not all equally safe. We don’tContinue reading “Insider Trading”

Cramming for Life

Proverbs 8:22-36 Have you heard of the advantages of Gold? The commercials abound. It never goes down in value. Or at least that is what the commercials say. The funny thing about gold is that it has value because we assign it value. It is shiny, it is rare, but what can you really doContinue reading “Cramming for Life”

Is Anyone Smart Enough?

Proverbs 1 Sometimes I wonder if we as Americans on purpose choose some of the dumbest people to lead us so that we will have someone to blame other than ourselves. But we collectively elected them! So who is the dumbest person in the room? Down through history society has sought smart people to lead.Continue reading “Is Anyone Smart Enough?”
