I Never Memorized Luke 24:47

I’m working on my fiftieth year of life.  In all that time, if the church doors were open I was there.  Many times I have been asked to memorize Matthew 28:18-20–the Great Commission.  Many times I have been asked to memorize Mark 16:15.  Never have I been asked to memorize Luke 24:47.  Why?  May I [...]

Guns–My Opinion

For many many years people have had guns. They have used them for protection from wild animals, wild people, and to acquire food. Why in recent years has there been an upsurge in gun related murders? Are guns the problem? In the 1960′s we removed the Bible and prayer from our public schools. We have [...]

So, What Delights You?

So, what delights you these days? Your favorite TV program? Your favorite person/people? Your favorite author? Shopping? Cars? Getting your license? Building? Creating? Selling? Graduating? Going to college? All of those things can be great things to delight in! God says, “Delight thyself also in the LORD and He shall give thee the desires of [...]

“Good Christians” In Conflict

So why do “good Christians” sometimes cause problems in the body? Should we write them off when they do?   Galatians 2: 11-13 mentions a time when Peter, Barnabas and other Jewish Christians were involved in conflict with Paul.  It seems that Peter knows it’s okay for him, a Jew, to eat with the Gentile [...]

WANTED: Discernment

Apostles, workers, ministers of righteousness–the false and the true. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end [...]

The Know It All

When I come to Job 42:3 God has me!  I have spoken what I was so sure I knew about, only to realize when I come into the presence of God that I know NOTHING!  Oh, how eloquent I can be!  Oh, how ignorant I am! I love God’s sense of humor and justice!  He [...]

No Secrets

Have you ever done anything that you hope no one ever finds out about?  Unfortunately we all have.  The book of Romans tells us that, “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” So how do we go about hiding what we’ve done?  ’Bad news, here.  Actually we can’t.  Get this! From [...]

The Plan

For those of us who grew up in the Christian faith, all of it sounds so normal.  To those who did not, the Bible tells us, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”  1 Corinthians 1:18.   Those [...]

Get Over It!!!

There are three things we MUST get over if we ever hope to manage our weight well.  The first two are guilt and anger. We have all wronged and been wronged. For our guilt, God has made awesome provision in the sacrificial blood of His Son.  ”If we confess our sins, He is faithful and [...]
