Are we ALL God’s children?

Though, we promote inclusivity, and we should when it comes to living peacefully with others, and though it is surely not politically correct to say what I’m about to say, we need to be clear on this. The worldly line that we are all God’s children is a lie. It sounds good, but it’s simplyContinue reading “Are we ALL God’s children?”

Christians should vocally applaud this move!

Yesterday, President Trump signed an Executive Order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of children. Christians should vocally applaud this move. We know this is a good and right decision. We know because scripture tells us,“God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He createdContinue reading “Christians should vocally applaud this move!”

Do I ❤️ this more than God?

If I’m trying to please men, I can’t walk worthy of the God who calls me. (Read Thessalonians 2:4-12) Just as it is for the lost, the praise of men is addictive to Christians. It can come in many forms, and like any other drug, it takes more and more to satisfy. Except, it won’tContinue reading “Do I ❤️ this more than God?”

Whew! Some people got upset yesterday!

Jesus.The real Jesus,as defined in the Bible,is offensive to a lost world. I was reminded of that yesterday by many comments on a post I shared that was reshared over 2000 times on Facebook. Some, people who normally wouldn’t see what I write, saw it. Quite a few were upset, to put it mildly (andContinue reading “Whew! Some people got upset yesterday!”

My Son is Saved! Listen to his words

So many of you have prayed for my son! Thank you! What a Savior!! He pursues the lost and the prodigal! He brings salvation and peace! Nothing is too hard for Him (Luke 1:37). I pray that Will’s words at his baptism yesterday will encourage others to run to Jesus! Let’s keep praying for eachContinue reading “My Son is Saved! Listen to his words”

Christmas is profoundly more…

It seems no small thing that God picked those who felt most unworthy, the outcasts, those with dirty hands, to behold His coming to earth…. The shepherds. They were the ones not invited to the party. But they were invited to be eyewitnesses to the greatest moment of all. The ones who had dirty hands,Continue reading “Christmas is profoundly more…”

He’s Coming Again!

Do you know these prophetic words from the Isaiah were written 700 years before Jesus was born?? Isaiah 9:2The people walking in darknesshave seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of deatha light has dawned.Isaiah 9:6-7For to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government willContinue reading “He’s Coming Again!”

Are you telling others where HOPE is found? Even, and especially, now?

The Messiah sat surrounded by the Pharisees and teachers of the law. The crowd surrounded the place and pushed in. I wonder if the buttoned-up religious leaders had to dust off their shoulders as debris surely began to fall from the ceiling as the tiles in the ceiling were removed. Did Jesus chuckle to HimselfContinue reading “Are you telling others where HOPE is found? Even, and especially, now?”

Can we talk about this?

I’m happy to give money. I’ll serve on that mission trip. Sure, I’ll go and speak, and yes, I’ll write these posts. Because I love Jesus, I want to follow Him and I want others to follow Him too. But, just between us, I’d really like to only sign up for those things with theContinue reading “Can we talk about this?”

Don’t “love” them all the way to Hell.

As we take in truth from the Word, we can use it to daily refute the flimsy, false teachings of this world that come at us all day, every day! Paul uses strong words as he charges his young disciple, Timothy, to teach no other doctrine but SOUND doctrine. (1Tim 1:3) “Doctrine” sounds like somethingContinue reading “Don’t “love” them all the way to Hell.”

This has not changed.

Oh Lord, how I feel my wandering heart tempted to look to earthly solutions and hope in them after this election. I’m so very thankful for the mercy I believe you showed us in the outcome of this vote. But I know the battle for the hearts and souls of men rages no less. OthersContinue reading “This has not changed.”

What are you praying today?

I’m praying throughout the day this Election Day. I’ll set my alarm to pray specifically at 6pm and hope you’ll join me and ask others to do the same. I’m asking God to have mercy on this country. I’m asking Him for His will to be done and, of course, I believe one platform toContinue reading “What are you praying today?”

Christian, you were never called to be unified with a lost world.

Unity for unity’s sake never unified anyone. This is true in our country and in our churches. People will unify around common purpose and common belief not some empty call for unity for unity’s sake. As Christians, we can never go along with things that go against the Word of God in the name ofContinue reading “Christian, you were never called to be unified with a lost world.”

We those who know God’s ways are better to find their voices.

Paul says,”hold such men in esteem” (Phil 2:29) Hold such men in esteem. What kind of men? Well, men and women like Epaphroditus. Epaphroditus didn’t only have a strange name, he was a rare one. He’s only mentioned once in the Bible (Phil 2:25). But this much is clear from the text, Epaphroditus was rare,Continue reading “We those who know God’s ways are better to find their voices.”

Are you ready?

I love chapter five of First Thessalonians. It’s one of those passages that could be read every day for hope and instruction. It resets our perspective and priorities. It helps us know how to live and encourages us to remember Who has us. Will you take a few moments and read chapter five? (I hopeContinue reading “Are you ready?”

But what if they say, “Don’t judge me.”?

Like me, you probably hear the phrase “don’t judge” a lot in our world and often out of the mouths of Christians. But the Bible says, “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”Hebrews‬ ‭5:14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ If we wantContinue reading “But what if they say, “Don’t judge me.”?”

Is God shaking us?

What if we all have to go through hard days for there to be real revival—for more lost to be found? Am I okay with that? Are you? Let me be clear, I want the election to go the way of conservatives, and values, and religious freedom. I’ll vote that way and think others shouldContinue reading “Is God shaking us?”

More time? Maybe not.

The book of Daniel, chapter 5, tells about a new king assuming the throne. Belshazzar holds a great feast for thousands and many drink from the vessels taken from the temple of God. As they drank, they worshipped the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone. (If plastic would have been around, surely,Continue reading “More time? Maybe not.”

Famous Tragic Endings and Quiet Keep Goings

August 16, 1977, I was sitting in a car with my mom when the news came over the radio—Elvis Presley had died. Forty-seven years ago today and I still remember watching my mom being visibly upset. I was only eight but quickly became obsessed with this famous person who had died so tragically, so young.Continue reading “Famous Tragic Endings and Quiet Keep Goings”

One day it will be too late…

Oh friends, Jesus came and He is coming again. The Day seems closer with each passing moment and headline. The prophets foretold Jesus coming. John the Baptist proclaimed He was here! The Kingdom of Heaven is still powerfully advancing and those who have ears should listen! (Matt 11:15) As Jesus continued His earthly ministry, heContinue reading “One day it will be too late…”
