I've seen the backs of men many times

As they turn away from me

But I've yet to see Jesus' back…

Paul’s love for Timothy.  Philippians 2.19-24

Have you ever read someone else’s letter?  Of course, you have.  Entire books of letters by noteworthy folks are best-sellers … why?  They give us insight as to the individuals’ thinking and heart.…

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff— including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.

Sadly, it seems that the true ones are few. We’re to take a stand. Are we setting the standard? Or are we letting the world’s standards take over us? LET’S TAKE A STAND! WE ARE STANDARD-BEARERS! We live in the truth and not in lies. Come on! We can do this! ^__^

 A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes!

I love to go driving this time of year. There's a crispness in the air, there are bales of hay in fields, and signs announcing pumpkin farms have opened for business. Another thing that you notice is the trees. Some have lost their leaves while others have leaves turning beautiful colors, then gradually falling away from the tree.

Think of the tree as the world. Leaves falling away from the tree that they were “born” on reminds me of becoming a Christian and falling away from…

GOOD MORNING HEAVENLY FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST

I JOIN SAINTS AND ANGELS AND ALL THE HEAVENLY HOSTS

IN GIVING YOU THE HIGHEST PRAISE UNTO YOUR HOLY NAME…

There are four things that I recommend for us to be involved in regularly. These four help to strengthen us when things are going well and help us overcome when things are difficult or God feels far away. These four are 1) Read the Word 2) Prayer 3) Positive Christian Fellowship 4) An Accountability Partner or Group.



1) The Word: When times are tough I like to read Colossians and 1 John. They inspire me, pick me up and help me to see past my current storm, which will pass.

As many of us are advancing in years it becomes increasingly important for us to stay as healthy and active as we can. Sometimes this is very difficult. I can certainly attest to this fact! But what is even more important is for us as Christians to stay flexible in our walk with Jesus. Anyone who has worked or played sports can tell you “stretching” is vital before doing any physical labor or sports activity. Loosening up our muscles and “warming” them up helps to keep us from…

Where do people go to wax philosophic these days?  From my days in and  around university coffee shops, I remember them as rich with lively debate—sometimes on important life issues, sometimes over hotly-debated minutia of some academic matter, but always, tables of folks locked in intense discussion.  In the first-century Greek cities to which Paul traveled, it was gymnasiums that drew…

The Heavens Opened (Part 5)

The warehouse was large, as large as the auditorium we had just left and as white as a “clean room” at a research facility. It seemed unusually bright in the building, as though the contents were either preserved or incubated in light.

‘This building holds an inventory of available parts of the human body,” Clara said.

There were bins upon bins of parts of all…
