  • Book Review: Radical Together

    I just completed the second book by David Platt entitled “Radical Together.” I was eager to read this book because of how impactful “Radical” was. This book also challenges the reader to think hard about his or her faith, but is geared toward use in small group studies. In other words, it is an encouragement Continue reading

  • Seeing Jesus … at Walmart

    I hesitate to be overly critical of the spiritual insights or encounters that others have.  I realize that God has spoken through a burning bush and a donkey, so who am I to limit His options? Yet when I read about the engaged couple in Anderson, South Carolina who found an image of Jesus on their Continue reading

  • Liberty, Morality, Faith

    Today we celebrate 235 years of independence as a nation.  The liberties we enjoy were purchased at a high price, and today we have men and women who are willing to lay their lives on the line to preserve our liberty.  But it is unlikely that our freedoms will be taken from us by a Continue reading

  • It’s a Dangerous Life

    It is amazing that I am still alive! I’m serious. I just read a list of the most dangerous do-it-yourself jobs.  They include climbing a ladder, mowing the lawn, using power tools, working with paint and other chemicals, and using a chain saw.

  • Ancient Truths for Today

    The book of Zechariah gets lost in biblical obscurity, but it shouldn’t. It has a powerful message that note only spoke to people returning from exile in Babylon 2,500 years ago but also speaks to our generation. There is much we can gain from the fourteen chapters of this little book, but I’d like to Continue reading

  • 3 Truths About the Gospel

    3 Truths About the Gospel If someone runs to the gospel, they get it. If they run from the gospel, they don’t get it. Do you teach your people that sin is an external action or a matter of the heart. Do you attack the root or the branches. If you treat symptoms but not Continue reading

  • Mosquitoes with Flashlights

    Thomas LaMance told this story:  When my grandson, Billy, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, “It’s no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with Continue reading

  • Wisdom of A.W. Tozer

    Here is a quote from “The Pursuit of God.”  It’s worth reading… Our woes began when God was forced out of His central shrine and `things’ were allowed to enter. Within the human heart `things’ have taken over. Men have now by nature no peace within their hearts, for God is crowned there no longer, Continue reading

  • Voodoo, Witchcraft, and Spells All at the Click of Your Mouse

    Doing a Google search for information on faithfulness to God, I encountered an unexpected website – http://www.magic-love-spells.com/faithfulnessspell.html.  Now, I’m not expecting you to rush to the site and try it out.  It was just an eye-opening experience, but I guess it shouldn’t be.  The internet is a cornucopia of ideas, thoughts, and often lunacy. If you are tempted Continue reading
