Many years ago Pilate asked Jesus the question, “What is truth?” And Pilate asked that question, I’m convinced, because he lived in a day much like our own – where we just don’t know what to believe anymore. Do you ever find yourself feeling like that? And as everything that happens and everything that’s talked […]
Moving Forward by Looking Back
January 1, 2008 by
And so here we are with another year gone by the wayside. And, if anything, we have another chance for evaluation. And so to begin with, where does 2007 rank in your life experience? I mean, on a scale of one to ten (ten being the best and one being the worst) how do you […]
No Idea What’s Ahead
December 22, 2007 by
My grandfather died 12 years ago this coming Tuesday. Yes, that’s right. It was on a Christmas day in 1995 that “Gramps” died. And it was 2 years ago on December 25th, 2005, that I first preached the message: “Lessons from the Holy Family,” that this 4-part blog post series is based upon. (Read Part […]
The Least Likely Place
December 15, 2007 by
Coming at you with the third post now in a series entitled: “Lessons from the Holy Family.” (Read the first and second post by clicking the following links: A “God” Thing or Marriage Made in Heaven.) And the third lesson from the holy family (Mary, Joseph and Jesus) is this (it’s actually very similar to […]
Marriage Made in Heaven
December 8, 2007 by
This is now the second post in a series entitled: “Lessons from the Holy Family.” (Read the first post by clicking here: A “God” Thing.) And the second lesson we learn from the holy family (Mary, Joseph and Jesus) is this: Marriage is between a man and a man or a woman and a woman […]
A “God” Thing
December 2, 2007 by
This is the first post in a series over the next four weeks leading up to Christmas entitled: “Lessons from the Holy Family.” The holy family I’m talking about is none other than the holy family of old: the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Christ child. And the first lesson from the […]
Talking Politics and Religion – Part 2
June 9, 2007 by
I know that “Politics and religion don’t mix” (as they say), but I’m talking about it again anyway. The question I want to consider is: Was Jesus a liberal or a conservative? What do you think? In my first post in this series (Talking Politics and Religion – Part 1) I said that, “Of course, […]
Talking Politics and Religion – Part 1
June 1, 2007 by
It’s said, “Politics and religion don’t mix,” but I’m talking about it anyway. The question I want to consider is: Was Jesus a liberal or a conservative? What do you think? Before you answer too quickly I’d like to point out our Lord’s tendency towards conservatism. It includes the following: He wasn’t tolerant of the […]
Fruit of the Spirit in Song
May 28, 2007 by
It’s an original chorus put to slides in this latest post. The fruit of the Spirit Paul writes about in Galatians chapter 5 and v. 22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law” (MKJV). The Contemporary English Version of […]
If Only Adam Wasn’t So Cheap
May 19, 2007 by
I came across the following funny on the web. Just think how well off we’d be, men, if only Adam wasn’t so cheap! From the lost chapter of Genesis: Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked him, “What is wrong with you?” Adam said he didn’t have anyone […]
