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 […]

Darkness to Light (my testimony)
June 18, 2010 by
I was living in darkness. I was headed for disaster. I had a drug problem. I had a drinking problem. I was out of control. Then came the freeway crash. But more than that. Someone in heaven reached down. Someone (Christ!) reached down and lifted me out. He opened my blind eyes. He unstopped my […]

June 13, 2010 by
When was the last time you ran a virus scan on your computer? I don’t know about you, but I get lazy. Here’s what I mean. I’ve got so much going on that I keep putting off scanning my computer for viruses for another day. “Well, with Twitter and Facebook and blogging and video blogging […]
Friends (An Ode)
June 8, 2010 by
They make you smile. They make you laugh. They make you think. They know you best. They see your worst. They’re sad when you’re sad. They’re scared when you’re scared. They hold you up when you’re down. They have the power to speak into your life. They are there when you need them most. You’d […]
Six Six Six
June 5, 2010 by
“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 […]
