In Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” I have heard this verse many times. Once, Christians would quote this each time at the beginning of worship. Certainly, we are to praise God for each day...

Religion is similar to other things in life. There are many different religions in the world. Christianity is worldwide, as are Buddhism, Hinduism and several others.

God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). He made all things including mankind. He made us male and female. He placed them in the Garden of Eden. He gave them some responsibility. They were to tend the garden. There was the forbidden tree and its fruit. We know they did not obey the command concerning the forbidden fruit. So they were taken from the Garden of Eden. Men are to work to earn a livelihood. Women have pain in child birthing. So the answer to where we are is on the earth...

They are seeking justice! “The soul who sins shall die.” Ezekiel 18:20 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23...

I haven’t looked that far ahead. This sentence gave me thought about looking into the future. I know preachers who plan their sermons several months in advance. Some preacher friends of mine in years past would meet in February and discuss the things facing the church at that time. Some of them would plan sermons to help the congregation deal with those issues. I am impressed by this foresight...
