Free Will

Posted on February 5, 2024 by Norman Bliss

Free Will is the concept that human beings are given the ability to make choices that are not predetermined by God. This idea is foundational to many Christian doctrines and is often cited as a crucial aspect of humanity’s relationship with God.

“I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” This and other verses suggest that humans have the ability to choose between different paths.

This perspective emphasizes predestination and God’s sovereignty, suggesting that God has preordained everything that will happen. However, even within this view, there’s an acknowledgment of human choice, though it’s understood to be within God’s sovereign will.

Free will is closely tied to the concept of moral responsibility in Christianity. If humans are free to make their own choices, they are also responsible for those choices, especially concerning sin and obedience to God.

The concept of free will is significant in discussions of salvation. Many Christians believe that humans must freely accept God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. This acceptance is an act of free will.

Free will is often cited in Christian responses to the problem of evil. The argument is that God allows evil to exist because of free will, meaning that humans have the freedom to choose good or evil, and unfortunately, sometimes choose evil.

It is central to understanding humanity’s moral responsibility, the nature of sin, and the means of salvation.

Free Will – Pick One.

Jesus

God sent his Son to earth to save humanity from the consequences of its sins. Jesus is the perfect image of God and the only divine and human person who reveals God to humans.

God

God is the one and only sovereign Lord of all existence.  God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and perfectly good. God is set apart from his creation and that he creates in freedom.

Devil

An angel who was cast from heaven into hell because he rebelled against God. Lucifer is usually identified with Satan. The name Lucifer, which means “bearer of light” or “morning star,” refers to his former splendor as the greatest of the angels.

Chicken Soup

Posted on April 29, 2023 by Norman Bliss

There are many variations of chicken soup, but here is a simple recipe for making classic chicken soup:

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs.)

4-5 quarts of water

1 onion peeled and halved.

3 carrots peeled and sliced.

3 stalks of celery, sliced.

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced.

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Rinse the chicken under cold running water and remove any giblets or neck that may be inside the cavity. Place the chicken in a large stockpot.

Add enough water to cover the chicken, about 4-5 quarts. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

Skim any foam or impurities that rise to the surface of the water using a slotted spoon. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot.

Simmer the soup for another 1-2 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once it’s cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones and skin.

Strain the soup through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, discarding the vegetables and herbs. Return the soup to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and heat the soup until it’s warmed through. Serve hot and enjoy!

Note: You can add noodles, rice, or any other desired ingredients to the soup to make it heartier.

How to Raise Baby Chickens

Want to raise your own backyard chickens? Here’s a beginner’s guide to bringing up baby, from purchasing baby chickens to keeping a happy coop.

As well as chick starter feed and clean water, they need a draft-free brooder pen with a red brooder lamp on at all times. This keeps the temperature at 92°F at 2 inches above the floor.

When the chicks have feathered out, reduce the temperature by 5°F per week until they are 6 weeks old, then switch their feed from chick starter to grower mash. Young chicks need to be close to water and food at all times.

What do you need to raise baby chicks?

If home temperatures range around 75 degrees, you won’t need a heat lamp past week four. But in barns or garages, which may run 60 degrees, chicks need supplementary heat until they are fully feathered at six weeks of age.
Chicks aren’t able to regulate their own body temperature, so they need a heat lamp to provide them with warmth. Don’t place it in the middle of the brooder though as they like to run in and out of the heat to either warm up or cool down.
