Some Things to Think About
This is my last weekend home until Easter weekend, and I have been enjoying it immensely. I still like to travel but my body has a hard time keeping up with it anymore. I am so thankful for the grace that God gives when I need it. Mostly, I thank Him for His...
Seek the Lord Today!
"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near" (Isaiah 55:6). "Then the LORD said, 'My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years'” (Genesis 6:3). Many have the mistaken idea that they can live how they...

Are You Honest?
In the last few years, I have come to realize how important honesty is to me. If you don't want to do something, tell me. If I ask you a question, I really want to know what your opinion is on the topic. Don't just say what you think I want to hear. For one thing, it...

Surrender Your Weakness to the Lord
As the congregation sang, "I'm not afraid to show You my weakness," I paused. That is not a line that I can honestly sing. Although God sees my weaknesses more than anyone, I find myself wanting to please Him just like I do my earthly family, and I forget that I am...
Testify of His Mercy
"O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever." ~1 Chronicles 16:34 I am 3/4 of the way through a business trip with my family and then I plan to take some trips to visit friends and family. I left on July 5 and don't know when I will be...
Do You Have a Biblical Worldview?
I am amazed at how often I hear statements from professing Christians that are based on modern thought and not on the Bible. I'm not talking about different interpretations of doctrine but excusing actions which Scripture clearly speaks against. Gone are the days of...
