Bragging Rights?

I'm a Huguenot. My maiden name is Gibert, pronounced "jĭ-bear" in French, and my direct Huguenot ancestry can be traced back for ten generations of male Giberts to one Pierre Gibert, ESQ. His son, Rev. Jean Louis Gibert, miraculously escaped a death sentence in France because, as a Protestant minister, he baptized a child. The time was the Reformation. Rev. Gibert later f...

Do I Really Have to Pray for Politicians I Oppose?

With this year being a Presidential election year, we all must admit that we are constantly barraged by political sound bites, constant mudslinging from all sides and promises from all candidates that hope and change is coming and America will be great again.

The Confession Suppression

1 John 1:8-10 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

People are outraged at the injustices that have happened, and with ...
