This week's Preacher's Point is difficult for me to write. The difficulty is that I like to stick to Biblical facts; this week is nearly all theory. The topic is something I have never preached or written about. I have only discussed this in a few private conversations. We had a guest speaker in college, … Continue reading UFO or Demon

What’s Coming
The New Year is upon us! This time of year is when people make resolutions to lose weight, stop undesirable habits, spend more time with family, and many other things they wish to change about life. It is also the time of year when prognosticators predict what is coming for the upcoming year. I am … Continue reading What’s Coming
It’s The Little Things
There is a man in our church that grew up on a farm. He drove a tractor at age eight. Driving down the road with him is like listening to a farm encyclopedia. Every piece of farm machinery we pass, he talks all about it. There is no doubt that this man knew more about … Continue reading It’s The Little Things
America Needs Healing
America needs healing, and that healing can only come from the Great Physician - Jesus Christ. The channel that Christ uses to heal a nation is His people. 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; … Continue reading America Needs Healing
America’s Fall
There are many parallels between the United States today and Israel in the time of Jeremiah the prophet. Both nations were heavy into sin, and the sins are similar. Israel turned to idolatry. Yes, indeed, you do not see many Americans bowing to golden idols, but we do have our gods. Anything that takes first … Continue reading America’s Fall
Heart, Mind, And Soul.

After He said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" (John 8:7), all the woman's accusers left. There was nothing more … Continue reading Heart, Mind, And Soul.
“Power Was Given Him Over All…”
A time of change is coming. No one knows how quickly the change will come. For example, when I was younger, the Soviet Union and the United States were the world's superpowers. The might of each nation was so strong; no one would mess with either. Yet, a shocked world watched as the Soviet Union … Continue reading “Power Was Given Him Over All…”

Others, "I am not religious" or, "I don't believe in God, I am an athiest." Everyone believes or places their trust in something. This fact makes everyone a person … Continue reading A Person Of Faith
Would You Believe If You Saw A Miracle?
Would you "believe if you saw a miracle? The answer is "no," unless you would have believed God's Word in the first place. Jesus tells the story of a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. Lazarus hangs around the rich man's house, usually laying by the front gate. The beggar develops sores on his … Continue reading Would You Believe If You Saw A Miracle?
A Call To Repentance
One of the rules of journalism is not to use old clichés but sometimes I feel like I am barking up the wrong tree, or beating a dead horse. Here we are a new week and another column containing the words, "Another mass shooting." At the risk of sounding redundant, the two quotes that keep … Continue reading A Call To Repentance
