I woke up the other morning, feeling very discouraged about all the darkness in the world. I begin to think of how many dark times there has been in the world. Such a time was when Israel was removed off the land, and how dark that must have been for the nation of Israel. So,… Read more »

Do You Have Hope?
Ephesians 2:12 “You lived in this world without God and without hope.” What do people do when they have no hope? They imagine and set their own hope, but this type of hope is nothing more than fantasy and promises never kept. Sounds like our politicians today that make promises but are never able to… Read more »
Building a Strong Family
To me raising of a child is similar to building a building. Since I am a builder, I use what I know to compare with. In a building there are three phases of a building: the foundation, the shell, and the interior. I see mothers as laying the foundation of the child, and fathers building… Read more »
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

What is Happening to America?
Is this what happened to America? “The godly have given in to the wicked, and it has polluted our land like muddying a spring.” Proverbs 25:26 “The rich have become wealthy through extortion and violence. The people are so used to lying that they can no longer discern the truth from a lie.” Micah 6:12… Read more »
Knowledge with Wisdom
1 Kings 4:29 tells us that God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge. Today we have leaders who only have some knowledge, but the knowledge they do have they haveno understanding and wisdom along with it. What will be the outcome with this type of leadership? Without wisdom you are a fool,… Read more »
