My son called me a couple of weeks ago, inviting me to play some disc golf. This past Saturday was the big day. We met at the course at 9 am. Some background is needed here. I am a former member of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). It's not like I was any good … Continue reading Glorified Bodies

Why Did Christ Die?
Easter is approaching, and it is time to ask, "Why?" "Preacher, what do you mean, 'why?' Easter is the season when Christians celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ." Everyone has opinions, and with those opinions come reasons for those opinions. Even people with opposing opinions have reasons for their own beliefs. Example: … Continue reading Why Did Christ Die?
His Sake Or Yours?
As individual Christians, do we wander through life as Israel did for forty years in the wilderness, or do we have a purpose and goal that we strive toward every day like the Apostle Paul? Even when we knock off the "to do list" - go to church, read the Bible, pray, and so on … Continue reading His Sake Or Yours?
The Church Needs CPR
Someone is walking down the street and sees someone lying on the ground. The person rushes over, finds the person unresponsive, calls for help, and starts CPR.

In hospitals, the monitors attached to a patient often start that long … Continue reading The Church Needs CPR

Back To School
It is back-to-school time in my neck of the woods. Every school in the county begins the new academic year this week. This week's column will discuss teaching the Bible to children but does not advocate bringing it into public schools; the main emphasis will be getting it back into homes. My opinion of the … Continue reading Back To School
Church Attendance
Nearly everyone has attempted to hit a baseball. With the little guys, we'll place the ball on a T but give them the same instructions as older kids being pitched too - keep your eye on the ball, swing level, choke up on the bat, and so on. Without practice, the little guys will never … Continue reading Church Attendance
Visual Signs A Person Loves God
Can people see that you are a Christian? If you have a cross necklace and a T-shirt that reads, "Jesus loves you!" you might think you are doing pretty well in letting people know you are a Christian. You may have had a cross tattooed onto your forearm. Surely, a permanent mark on your skin … Continue reading Visual Signs A Person Loves God
It’s Not What You Might Think
Over the weekend, Iran launched 300+ drones and missiles toward Israel. The Western powerhouse nations of the United States, Great Britain, and France, along with Jordan, came to Israel's aid and, along with the Israeli air force, shot down ninety-nine percent of the invasion. Authorities claim there was no significant damage. There is a seven-year-old … Continue reading It’s Not What You Might Think
