In the early days of home computers, I played a game with my kids called "Gazillionaire." In that game, there is a character who only says, "Money, money, money!" His voice is nasal tone and eerie, rather creepy. I found the game again recently and have played with some of my grandchildren. Every once in … Continue reading Money, Money, Money.
Fruit
Christian, does it ever seem that the Christian life does not live up to the hype?

Puzzle Pieces – Russia, Israel, Ukraine.
Questions keep rolling into my mailbox. Over the last few weeks, the most asked question is - Does this Russia/Ukraine thing have anything to do with Bible prophecy? The short answer is - Indirectly yes. For the long answer, one needs to turn to Ezekiel chapters 38-39. Because names of nations change over the years, … Continue reading Puzzle Pieces – Russia, Israel, Ukraine.
Anyone Notice The Snow Outside?
Snow is polarizing. People either hate it, or they love it. "I hate driving in the stuff!" "I can't wait to get outside and build a snowman!" You get my drift (pun intended). Here in my neck of the woods, it snowed from last Wednesday afternoon till about midnight Thursday night. People started emerging from … Continue reading Anyone Notice The Snow Outside?

That includes Sunday morning services and Sunday evening and mid-week services as well. On the other hand, I have written about how many modern-day church services resemble high school pep rallies … Continue reading A Watered-Down Faith

Intolerant Or Correct?
My dad would only own a Chevy. My father-in-law retired from the Ford Motor company. He would only drive a Ford. A Honda and a Kia are currently in my driveway despite their opinions. I learned a lot from these men. Both gave me advice, and it was usually correct. Often their opinions were the … Continue reading Intolerant Or Correct?
The Probable Sequence of Events.
Often people will grab a current event and claim it is something from the book of Revelation. Anything in Revelation from chapter four on is, at this present time, still future. Therefore, when someone claims that a current event is Revelation (choose chapter and verse), well, unless we just went through Revelation 4:1-2, it is … Continue reading The Probable Sequence of Events.
