A while back I had lunch with my grandson and enjoyed it immensely. I asked him to do some research about the time of the 60s when I was his age, and to compare what is different from the 60’s to what is taking place today. The first item we talked about was Woodstock. He… Read more »

John 12:42-43 “Many people did believe in him, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn’t admit it for fear; for they loved human praise more than the praise of God.” Some things never change, I wonder how many pastors and church leaders feel the same fear today. They refuse to speak the truth… Read more »
Now That I’m Old
Now that I am old there is one thing I can say with confidence, that when I look back in my life I can see the hand of God. He has protected, provided, and given me the desires of my heart. THANK YOU LORD! Psalm 108:13 With God’s help we will do mighty things. Exodus… Read more »
The Blood of our SAVIOR!
I’ve asked God why ‘animal sacrifices’ for covering man’s sin back then, and then why His ‘Son’s sacrifice.’ Why blood? How does “blood” cover sin so that the Father’s wrath on man’s sin-nature is held off? This morning the thought came that it’s all about LOVE. God is love: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Then… Read more »
Struggles Burdens Hope
This morning I was talking to my Father God, and I asked Him, what if Jesus had given up and asked You to save him from anymore sorrow and pain as He journeyed to His ‘physical’ end, would You have? What a question! Right? But I know that Jesus was also a human being like… Read more »
Eyes on JESUS!
Matthew 14:27-31 “Jesus spoke to them at once. ‘Don’t be afraid,’ he said. ‘Take courage. I am here!’ Then Peter called to him, L’ord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.’ ‘Yes, come,’ Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the… Read more »
When Life Does Not Make Sense
This last week in Facebook I read a story of a mother who is a believer and yet she felt that God had forsaken her. I was also reminded of a conversation with a man I play golf with when he made a statement, “If there is a God how could he allow my daughter… Read more »
Churches are Falling
During my study of the book of Nehemiah I noticed how Nehemiah was attacked for answering the call that God had for his life. As I studied these attacks, I noticed that these are the same attacks we see taking place today. Satan has the way of ‘reusing’ what has worked for centuries. I thought… Read more »
Signs of Our Time
This morning while I was on my walk, I came upon a small creek that dries up during the summer except for some pools. As I investigated the stream, I saw some small fish and thought how they need to move from where they are before it’s too late. If they do not, then they… Read more »
Government vs. We The People
Short term solutions always have long time consequences. What do I mean? Think of any solution the government has come up that we are not paying the consequences for today in all sorts of ways. Almost 2/3 of our taxes are to pay for short term solutions (unconstitutional entitlements) of the past, throwing money it… Read more »
