For the most part, everyone wants to keep their stuff. Yes, there are those people of whom we say, “He’d give his shirt off his back if someone asked for it.” This is true of some people, but in reality, the percentage of people willing to give up everything is quite small. We had a … Continue reading It All Melts

Iran, Elam, Persia
American warships are positioning themselves near Iran. The rumors of war are raging. The buildup of naval and air power is very similar to what happened off the coast of Venezuela before America took President Maduro into custody. Many believe that if there is an attack on Iran, the goal is regime change. Is what … Continue reading Iran, Elam, Persia

How Does God Feel About Israel & The Jews
Antisemitism is on the rise throughout the world, even in Christian circles. Since the Jews have been hated throughout history, at least some of what appears to be an increase is nothing more than hidden feelings finally rising to the surface. As Christians, we should look to God for answers to everything in life. What … Continue reading How Does God Feel About Israel & The Jews
Be Still
Yesterday, friends asked if we could get together before Christmas. We checked our calendars, and there was no date between now and Christmas that we both had open.

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?

The world is on edge after what happened in the Oval Office last week between Presidents Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vice President Vance. I am seeing some interesting comments on social media. A few Trump supporters favor Zelenskyy, and some anti-Trump people praise President Trump for his actions in the exchange between the two leaders. However, … Continue reading Let’s Talk Ukraine

Thanksgiving is upon us. In our family, Thanksgiving is one of the three big holidays; Christmas and Easter are the others. As much of the family as possible gathers for those three holidays.
