One man. That’s what our salvation rests upon. You talk about pressure. You talk about a weight on your back. The actions, commitment, faith, obedience, sacrifice ~ love ~ every single, human being who ever lived ~ where they spend eternity rests upon this one man. There’s no one else. There’s no other person. There’s […]
One Last Try Away
July 1, 2010 by
That’s it. You’re throwing in the towel. (Or thinking about it?) You’ve had enough. You’ve done all you can do. You’re through. You’re fed up. You can’t do this any longer. You can’t go on. You’ve tried and tried and tried some more ~ and it just won’t work, budge, change. A relationship. A job […]
Deathbed
June 30, 2010 by
The following is a fictitious story. (Or is it?) I wasn’t called to someone’s deathbed. (You read it right: was not.) Here’s what I could/would have said if I was: “You have three choices. #1: Receive Christ and be healed (and go on living to proclaim His excellencies). #2: Receive Christ and be healed (and […]
From Bad to Worse (God is Rescuing Us?)
June 26, 2010 by
Moses meets God at the Burning Bush. (Exodus 3:1-10) He is then sent to Egypt to rescue the Israelites. In his first meeting with Pharaoh, Moses says, “Let the people go.” (Exodus 5:1) Pharoah’s response? “Okay, Moses. I will do it right now.” No, it isn’t. In reality Pharoah says, “Are you crazy? They’re my […]

“You need wisdom to understand the number of the beast! But if you are smart enough, you can figure this out. Its number is six hundred sixty-six, and it stands for a person.” (Revelation 13:18; Contemporary English Version) Where did it ever happen that we thought we should be afraid of a number? I know […]
Christ Follower or Christian?
June 3, 2010 by
“‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.’” (Mark 8:34b) There’s a lot of talk about being a “Christ follower” these days. “I’m a Christ follower,” people say. (It used to be Christian.) I think with the change of jargon (not that I’m against […]
Legacy of An Evil Grandfather
May 26, 2010 by
King Herod’s wife held a grudge against John the Baptist because he kept telling her husband he was sinning by being married to her. (Mark 6:18-19) (They were living in adultery after all.) “Herodias” would go on to instruct her daughter, Salome, to have John beheaded because of it. (Mark 6:24-28) So how could a […]

Test Your Knowledge of Christmas
December 2, 2009 by
Sing with me: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you, ‘Be of good cheer,’ It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” (Hey, you did that good!) And I just can’t help but sing, my friends. The Christmas spirit’s got a hold of me and […]
Twenty-Five Gems for the Journey
June 15, 2009 by
What you’ll find here is a conglomeration of thoughts that come to my mind at any given time here and there (even while I’m out jogging). You may have even read one or two of these in a tweet? Do you ever have God speak to you? If you’re a Christian, it should be a […]
