Happy New Year!
We always feel like we have something new and fresh ready for us when we wake up on 1-1 of each year. It is like a big reset and we are ready to go. The year is young and it makes us feel young again, at lest for a little while. But, the fact is […]
Christmas Lights
If your family is anything like mine, you really like Christmas lights. Now, don’t get me wrong, we are not the house on the corner with fifty-million lights on it. In fact, this is the first year we have really had anything like a fancy light display in front of our house. No, what I […]
Prayer Room
I remember when I was growing up, and also as a young man, an experience that I miss. Though to many it may seem confusing or strange, it was often a blessing. What I refer to is the old fashioned prayer room. The prayer room was a place where the men of the church would […]
Addition and Multiplication
The church grows, and shrinks, in a couple different ways. Most of us only think of one of the ways, but we must consider the other. First, the church grows by multiplication. Multiplication occurs when Christians do things that bring multiple people to Christ in a relatively short amount of time. This is usually the […]
A Prayer of Praise
The Lord does so much, and He is praised so little. Stop somewhere in your busy schedule today and offer Him a prayer of praise. We don’t have to wait for something good to happen to praise Him. He is doing things in our lives all the time.
Moral Obligation
I believe that many Christian people have, somewhere in our subconscious, the idea that Christians are among the best of people. And we think that is why we have accepted Christ. We need to fight this type of thinking. It is just as likely to be the case that we are the worst of people. […]
Survival
I’m the kind of person that enjoys a good read. And, there are several books that have made it to the top of my favorites list over the years. Most of my favorites are written by great Christians of the past. But, I have a favorite in my top five that is not a Christian […]

Victory in Jesus
As we go through our lives we have mentors along the way. And, sometimes, these people are way ahead of us in reaching their eternal home. Today I think back to a childhood hero who was also my pastor. He mentored me and encouraged me greatly. When we think of individuals like this we don’t […]
Forgiveness
Today I had two experiences that I never would have put together. But, they do indeed fit. First, I had a conversation with someone about forgiveness. Specifically, we were discussion the fact that they had forgiven a Christian friend. This Christian friend has on a few occasions said some things in the wrong way, with […]
