Influence

Each one of us has individuals that influence our life. Parents are high on many people's list of those making a difference in their lives. After all, without our mom and dad, we would not exist. Teachers are also high as influencers in people's lives. Thinking back to my school-age years, there are teachers I … Continue reading Influence

Lukewarmness

In the days before the "No weapons on school property" policy, you could travel to any High School in the county where I live and see quite a few gun racks in the rear windows of pick-up trucks. A high percentage of those gun racks held either a shotgun or rifle. In many areas of … Continue reading Lukewarmness

What Manner Of Person?

2 Peter 3:10-12 speaks of the end of the world. The phrase, "The elements shall melt with fervent heat," is mentioned twice within the three verses.  Verse 10 sets the stage by giving a vivid description of the end of time, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; … Continue reading What Manner Of Person?

Could Both Sides Be Right?

Going into this year's elections, depending on who you listened to, our nation was about to be destroyed; it would never be the same. The problem is - no matter who you heard; the result was exact - if the other side wins - America collapses. Pause for a moment, look out the window; notice … Continue reading Could Both Sides Be Right?

Timeline Of The Mark

There may be an underlining thought out there that we are nearing the time when the Antichrist will cause everyone to receive a mark to buy or sell. I bring this up because I usually receive emails asking about something I have recently written. However, I have received multiple emails about this topic in the … Continue reading Timeline Of The Mark

A Volcano Is Fixing To Erupt

The other day on social media, I saw a post that contained several pictures of well-known people with liberal views. The group of photos of people included pictures of a famous fast-food hamburger and another image of an order of fast-food french fries. Every photo had a corresponding letter. Above the picture, it read, "The … Continue reading A Volcano Is Fixing To Erupt

God’s Adoption

This morning while reading through social media, I saw a post listing eight promises from God. Every one of them is true, but the problem is, many people will apply God's promises to themselves when they only apply to God's children. We have a relationship with our children that we do not have with the … Continue reading God’s Adoption

A Watched Pot Never Boils

"A watched pot never boils." I have heard that line since I was a child. I know it is not valid. If you watch a pot of water over a flame long enough, it will start boiling. The problem is, most people do not have the patience to sit there long enough, looking at nothing … Continue reading A Watched Pot Never Boils

It’s OK to Read the End of the Book

  When our Easter evening services ended, there was a surprise when everyone saw an inch of snow was on the ground. By morning there were four. Many people wish for a white Christmas, but few, if any, want a white Easter. The fresh layer of snow should melt by afternoon, the highs are predicted … Continue reading It’s OK to Read the End of the Book

Sitting, Standing, Running, Rising

When reading the events of and surrounding the Crucifixion of Christ, it is interesting to watch how people respond. The self-righteousness of Caiaphas, the High Priest, as he refuses to put the blood money that came from the treasury back into the coffers. Governor Pilate as he struggles with his agonizing question, “What is truth?” … Continue reading Sitting, Standing, Running, Rising
