“It is finished!” (John 19:30) It was with those three words that Jesus Christ declared mankind’s redemption accomplished. There’s nothing more that can be added. There’s nothing more that need be done. Our sins are forgiven (if we believe). Our eternal destiny is secure (we are headed to heaven when this life is through). And […]
Chewed Up and Spit Out (A Rant)
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Of course, what do I know? My sphere of influence and group of contacts is very small. I know that. And I also know it’s so easy to make overall generalizations that may or may not true. Nevertheless, I think there’s something here. The disturbing trend I’m referring to is […]
Just One Sin
It won’t matter. It won’t hurt. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a drop in the bucket. Sure it is. No one’s gonna know. How could they? Who’s gonna tell them? If I look at that magazine. If I watch that show. If I buy that item. If I see that […]
Great is Thy Faithfulness
The brakes were gone. How could this be? She’d just finished a 1,500-foot mountain grade descent. The “she” was my 19-year old daughter. And I am writing this today to glorify God and recognize His great faithfulness to us and in our lives. It was a little after five o’clock (approximately the time of the […]
Last Man Standing (A Declaration)
I’m gonna be there. I’m not gonna miss it. I’m talking about meeting Jesus and hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Close your eyes and picture it in your mind.) I will do whatever it takes. I will be filled with the Holy Spirit and continue to be filled. (Ephesians 5:18) I will lay […]

(2 Thessalonians 2:9) He’ll perform a mimicking of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead (scholars believe). (Rev. 13:3) He’ll make […]
Candidate for Antichrist – Part 1
He’ll be a politician ~ and a crafty one at that. (Revelation 17:12-13) He’ll be a literal military genius. (Revelation 13:4) He’ll be charismatic. He’ll be able to “wow” the crowds with his great speaking ability. (Daniel 7:8) (He’ll make Hitler look like an amateur.) He’ll be a “law breaker.” He’ll operate illegally. He’ll be […]

Father God – Part 2
“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20) I love that verse. It’s a great story to begin with, but when you add to that how […]
Father God – Part 1
This is the first of a two-part blog post series where I’ll be highlighting three aspects of our Lord as a “dad” especially in Part 2. Here in Part 1 ~ I don’t know what kind of a dad you had. The fact is some of us haven’t had the best of examples leading us […]
