  • If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be? Our dog, Torii, is a special one, but she’s not the sharpest knife in the set, as I often say. Torii is about 18 years old, so she’s an old lady. She has the sweetest disposition. I don’t think she has a…

  • Today, I want to focus on two familiar passages of Scripture that indicate a monumental Truth of God. The first passage is Genesis 1:1-2, where the Word says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And…

  • Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc. Anybody who knows me, knows that I go by Manny.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could…

  • If you could un-invent something, what would it be? I would un-invent nothing. Allow me to explain. As a counselor, I meet people who have been through all sorts of experiences, some good, and some bad. What I and my Clients have discovered is that we are who we are because of our experiences. I’ve…

  • We need to allow the Word of God to explain the Truth to us first, for it is the primary source of the knowledge of God. I’m going to look at several Bible passages, some of which we have studied recently, and I want to point out what the Scriptures teach regarding the roles for…
