Lately I’ve been giving a lot of thought to what God requires of us. Or maybe, what God requires of me. Because lately, God’s really been putting me through it, to the point that I’m now down in the trenches and waving the white flag of mercy, “I surrender! I surrender!” And this can be [...]

It’s early and as I sit at my desk with the window open overlooking our community pond the sun is shining, and yet as I take a moment to perhaps daydream, I start to see more and more of those little white puffy clouds (like sheep) begin to proceed across that great blue backdrop we [...]

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” Heb 13:2
And as of late this scripture keeps coming to mind, maybe because God keeps putting it there, I don’t know, but I woke this morning thinking of it. Perhaps too because I always do as the holidays approach. “Tis [...]

I am still in the throws of reading a lesson/sermons on 1st Corinthians entitled The Corinthian Crises and after having read one this morning I wanted to share it here. I think because just a few weeks ago I heard a similar sermon on the same topic where this verse becomes the central question:
“Now [...]

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I [...]

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for [...]

It’s funny, sometimes I come to the keyboard and I think, “I just need to write something,” but what? I have no idea. Than a title pops into my head and I think to myself “I’ll write about that!” When All Else Fails.
Have you ever felt like that? You’ve gotten [...]

“A blip!” Your watching a radar screen and then you see it but only for a second and then it’s gone; “a blip!” Now imagine if you will that blip is what your life here on earth is like; “nothing but a blip” that lasts for no more than a second. But the [...]

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Charlie Brown. I don’t know why. For one, maybe because it’s Christmas time, that, and it’s A Charlie Brown Christmas was one of my all time favorite holiday specials. One wonders though with the current state of things now, “do they still allow this to be [...]
