August 22, 2024 | Freddy Davis

During this political season, there’s a lot of talk about “the evangelical vote.” While the focus of evangelicals is not on politics, they do tend to vote somewhat as a block based on their preference for a point of view that corresponds to the teachings of the Bible. As such,…

A Biblical Focus On Prayer – Part 2 – Tal Davis

July 28, 2024 | Freddy Davis

When I was a new Christian, I naturally did not know how to pray very well. I thought effective prayers had to be said with lofty words and following a complex formula. However, early on, someone introduced me to a simple and easy to remember outline for praying based on…

Dealing with a Piman Head

July 25, 2024 | Freddy Davis

In the Japanese language, a piman is a bell pepper. The expression “piman no atama” (bell pepper head) is sometimes used to refer to someone who is empty headed (since the inside of a bell pepper is empty). On occasion, I come across people on social media who…
