We will celebrate history's most important event in a little over a month. Technically, it is two separate events, but they happened the same weekend. Without the first, you cannot have the second; without the second, the first is meaningless. Event number one is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The second is His resurrection. Hundreds … Continue reading The Most Important Event In History

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?
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
Thanksgiving
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. If people cannot attend, Julie and I usually spend another day with them within a week or so of the big celebration. … Continue reading Thanksgiving
Political Rumblings
Has anyone in the press not talked about President Biden's debate performance? Little can be said that has not already saturated the news and private conversations. In too simplistic of a sumerary, one side says, "I told you so!" and the other says, "We have to do something." With the political climate in America reaching … Continue reading Political Rumblings
The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2
Are we close to Christ sitting on the throne in Jerusalem? If we are, the events leading up to Christ's kingdom are even closer. Biblical prophecy tells us before Christ's one-thousand-year reign is the rapture of the church, the rule of the Antichrist, and the seven-year tribulation period. The Bible calls certain events signs of … Continue reading The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2
The I, Thee, And Them Of Christian Memory
Every holiday has two purposes - to remember and to celebrate. It's the remembering that we tend to forget. Christmas is a day to remember the birth of Christ and celebrate his birth with presents and family dinners. The Fourth of July, a day to remember our nation's birth and our freedom as Americans, is … Continue reading The I, Thee, And Them Of Christian Memory
What Manner Of Persons
Hamas' attack on October 7th, Hezbollah’s constant missile barrage upon Israel from Lebanon, Iran's aerial attack upon Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles, and Israel's response to all these things all appear to be fulfilling the sign Jesus spoke about when He said, "Wars and rumours of wars" (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7). Some of … Continue reading What Manner Of Persons

Suit Up
Many Christians seem spiritually wounded. They want to do better in their Christian life, but for one reason or another, they believe they cannot. A wounded soldier on the battlefield, unable to fight back or reach their weapon, would be a physical example of this spiritual truth. Just as in physical warfare, in spiritual warfare, … Continue reading Suit Up
