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
We are called the United States of America, but we are not united! The question is why? Our inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as citizens are trying to be removed by people with power who think they know better than our founders. To ‘pursue’ means to go after, and to… Read more »
Wisdom vs. Government
The wisest man to ever live tells us in Proverbs what man’s government should and not be, and what the results WILL BE! When the wicked are in charge: People will not accept divine guidance; sin and immorality flourishes, and the country will become unstable. Good people will be punished for refusing to accept their… Read more »
Remember What Jesus Tells Us
THIS EASTER REMEMBER WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY! Ezekiel 44:7 “You have brought into my sanctuary-people who have no heart for God.” Could this be applied to the church today? I find no where in Scripture where we are to invite the unsaved into our place of corporate worship meant only for Christ’s disciples. Rather, I… 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 »
Common Sense
Ever wonder why our political leaders make some of the stupidest laws; laws that defy common sense? The Bible says, “Common Sense comes from God.” Therefore these political leaders are godless. What makes godless leaders think they have the answer to the problems we face today? How great is that arrogance? Proverbs 8:14 “Common sense (wisdom) and… Read more »
American Liberty
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” ―… Read more »
Relationships – Chapter 28
Biblical Self-Esteem – Part 3 In building on who God is; that He is who He claims to be and He will keep His Word, we need to see what God will do. This is important in being able to build strong relationships. We read in Colossians 1:13-14 “For he has rescued us from… Read more »
