Straight Answers to Contemporary Concerns

Welcome to my blog!

I believe that many problems can be solved with the proper use of hermeneutics (correct application of the principles of Biblical interpretation) of God’s word, the Bible. This blog will be used to comment on all kinds of things–current events and issues, world problems, social problems, moral problems, religious problems, political problems and questions. We will try to apply God’s word, the Bible, to see if we can provide some answers or solutions to some of the problems that beset our world.

I don’t have all the answers and do not make that claim. That would be terribly presumptuous of me. But, we may be able to apply some principles that point us in the right direction. I believe that there is a definite, set body of objective truth that is unalterable–a standard of right and wrong–the which if one properly applies to his life, he will find salvation, happiness, and solutions to man’s biggest and most besetting problems. Man’s biggest problem is sin. It is sin that separates man from God, and brings destruction, unhappiness, and spiritual death. The only way to overcome all these problems is to seek the Lord and follow His way. Man cannot do this alone. He needs God’s guidance. So, His word is the standard.

“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear”–Isaiah 59:1-2.

“O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps”–Jeremiah 10:23.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path”–Psalm 119:105.

“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’”–(Jesus) Matthew 4:4.

“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth”–(Jesus) John 17:17.

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”–(Jesus) John 8:32.

Let’s see just how things will work out. Thanks for coming around; and, I hope you return.
