We all go through our struggles. Sometimes the struggles are minor, sometimes they are major battles. As Christians, one of our most significant problems is that we tend to try to fight our battles ourselves. Think of the battles that the Hebrews fought in the Old Testament. At Jericho, God told them to walk around … Continue reading Let God Fight

Let’s Talk Ukraine
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
Warnings From Jeremiah
As I read Jeremiah, I cannot help but see the parallels between the United States and Israel of old. Do not get me wrong; Israel is God's nation. God gives promises to Israel that belong to no other country, but there are striking similarities in spiritual history. God makes it clear that Jeremiah is a … Continue reading Warnings From Jeremiah
God’s Armor
In Ephesians 6:10-19 the Apostle Paul gives Christians a list of battle armor for the spiritual war we face. There is a tendency among Christians to departmentalize problems into the groups of, physical and spiritual. They miss a significant point Paul stresses: everything is spiritual. Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, … Continue reading God’s Armor
Preachers
A writer will sometimes get "writer's block." This condition is especially true with fiction writers. Developing a character or moving a scene along in a way that keeps the reader's interest sometimes takes hours of thought and trial and error. In non-fiction writing, the author collects data, facts, and quotes and formulates them into a … Continue reading Preachers

Every year, everyone gathers at my oldest daughter's house for our nation's birthday. Food, fun, and fireworks are the events of the day. Each year, we have a corn hole tournament. I had won several … Continue reading Happy Birthday To Us
How To Live A Quiet Life
2 Chronicles 20:30, "So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about." Often, we describe life as noisy. Many things are confusing, complicated, and nerve-wracking. Problems overwhelm the soul. "When will it ever end!" is a cry often heard. Illnesses, crime, stress, financial woes, relationship problems, the heartaches involved … Continue reading How To Live A Quiet Life
Make America Godly Again (Part I)
If America is going to return to greatness, she must first return to godliness. When the Bible was the most-read book in the land, when the people of the nation had respect for God and His Word, we formed this country by defeating the most prominent and best-trained military in the world with a bunch … Continue reading Make America Godly Again (Part I)
Israel At War
Saturday morning, it was too early to get out of bed, I rolled over. While lying there, something inside me (the Holy Spirit) kept telling me to get up and look at the news. Within minutes, I was watching Benjamin Netanyahu declaring war on Hamas. I watched i24 (an Israeli 24-hour news station) throughout the … Continue reading Israel At War
When Will The Water Break?
One thing that has always surprised me is how many Christians are surprised by world events. For example, the current nuclear threat by the Russians has brought a lot of questions about Armageddon, especially if we will see the battle of Armageddon in the next few months. The answer is no. We do not know … Continue reading When Will The Water Break?
