God’s Sovereignty, Free Will, and Baseball
by  Bill Moller

Some decisions are life-changing. Others somewhat trivial. Some decisions are GOOD, and others… not so good. The question before us today is, “WHO made those decisions?” Was it the individual acting of his or her own free will, or was it God imposing divine sovereignty and making the decision for us? I don’t know about you, but it sure felt like it was me who decided to get out of bed this morning. Yet I know from my study of Scripture that God is sovereign over all. But, exactly what does that mean?

Do You Have The Fuddle Virus?
by  Bill Moller

Recently, I spent hours – actually days – eradicating a virus from a computer. Despite the presence of a fully updated antivirus/antispyware protection system, this pest snuck through.

How Will I Give, Next Time?
by  Bill Moller

The chatter on Sports radio has shifted from the fever-pitched hype that accompanies the Super Bowl to the hopeful imaginings that surround the start of spring training. All the boxes of Christmas decorations have been carefully packed away in closets and attics and won’t be seen again for nearly a year. The Turkey Day celebration of just three months ago has faded into the past like those of years gone by. But fresh in my mind’s eye - as if it were yesterday - are the memories of my trip to Boone, North Carolina this past November.

It’s Not Greek to Me
by  Bill Moller

Recently, I decided to take a class to learn Biblical Greek, the language in use when the original text of the New Testament was written. As I sat thinking about this undertaking, I remembered that one of the best ways to reinforce what one learns is to teach the material to someone else. What you are about to read is that effort. I invite you to follow along and discover the alphabet used in Biblical Greek.
