Abraham, Isaac, and Jesus

Abraham [1] is an important historical figure in several religions, so much so that religious holidays have been established in his honor.  While Abraham’s story might vary from tradition to tradition, all recognize him as an important forefather of their faith.  Furthermore, his story – at least the final parts -- is one of extreme trust and obedience in God. However, the original version relayed by God to Moses and recorded in the Bible (Genesis, Chapters 11 through 15) holds specific significance to Christians in several ways.

If you’ve never seen the 1998 movie The Red Violin, I would highly recommend it. Using a series of flashbacks, the movie follows the title’s namesake through key moments in its history up until modern day, when it is being prepared for auction. Appraiser Charles Morritz (played by Samuel L. Jackson) suspects this particular item might be the legendary last violin made by Nicolo Bussotti, a famous luthier. After authenticating its true identity, Morritz desires to own the violin himself and contrives a plan to replace the original with a copy whose identity is significantly less impressive.… Read more...

One of the reasons I like to fill up at a Wawa store is that they play popular music over the gas pump station speakers. Of course, with it being December, Christmas songs have started to invade the playlist. Earlier this month I heard a song with which I was not familiar. A little research revealed that the name of the song was "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" (I believe it was the Kylie Minogue version) and the chorus goes like this:

Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Let the bells ring out for Christmas… Read more...

Half Air life articleMany people have speculated on what Heaven might be like. One particular view that I find appealing is the idea that we'll be able to hang out with Jesus just like he was one of the gang. That would be great . . . most of the time.

Do you remember in my last article (Yeah, I know. It's been a while.) when I implied that I would love to have gaming group in Heaven? I still think that would be a blast, but I'm not sure I would want the Son of God to sit in on game night.

Imagine Frank, Harry, Susan and Jesus are sitting down to play a fun game of Clue. The game is just beginning and it is Frank's turn. He rolls the dice and moves… Read more...

Half Air faith articleYou may be familiar with the bathroom cleaner from S.C. Johnson called Scrubbing Bubbles. When I was a kid this product went by the name Dow Bathroom Cleaner and the Scrubbing Bubbles were its mascot. In the commercial these cartoon bubbles with brush bristles for legs would race up and down the tub and sink, leaving sparkling porcelain in their wake. When they were done, all the bubbles would circle and exit down the drain, crying out, "We work hard so you don't have to!"

Last year I used an altered version of this slogan to share the gospel on Facebook. Now, I'm not a big Facebook user. I use the service… Read more...
