I am not a fan of what the rest of the world calls “football.” I cannot tell you the score of any game played during the World Cup. However, I do love America, and I have loved seeing hundreds of short reels from people around the world talking about how great America is. I’ve watched … Continue reading Forty Years of Bricks

The Call
I’ve written a lot recently, encouraging Christians to follow the steps in Romans 12:1-2 to “prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Those steps are being a living sacrifice to God, not being conformed to this world, and being transformed by the renewing of your mind. I’ve been asked, “What … Continue reading The Call
Knowing God’s Will For Your Life
Christian, do you know what God wants you to do, what He created you to do? God does call people to preach. God calls people to leave family and possessions behind and move to a foreign land to spread the gospel. God calls people to work or volunteer at Church; things like cleaning, teaching, cooking, … Continue reading Knowing God’s Will For Your Life
The Fulfilling of Prophecy
I love having conversations with people. I love talking to people about what they believe; not just about God and religion, but what they believe about any subject, which team will win the World Series, who they are going to vote for, what their dream car is, their favorite meal, and so on. Regardless of … Continue reading The Fulfilling of Prophecy
The Importance of the Cross
About once a quarter, our local fairgrounds hosts a "Vendors and Yard Sale Day," where both professionals and locals rent spaces to sell their items. Our church will often acquire space at these events. We don’t sell a thing; we give things away. In December, we gave away ten different styles of tree ornaments that … Continue reading The Importance of the Cross
Who Is Jesus?
Easter is less than two weeks away. For some families, it's a significant day with morning church services and often new clothes for the event. For many, it is the only day they attend church, aside from possibly Christmas. For others, it is just another Sunday. I am always encouraging people to know what they … Continue reading Who Is Jesus?
The Acceleration Of Ezekiel 38
Since Israel became a nation again in 1948, Ezekiel 38 has been one of the most discussed and written about prophecies in the Bible. Building on this, Ezekiel 38 describes a coming invasion of Israel by (using modern names) Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, Sudan, Libya, and Turkey. In Biblical language, Gomer is also mentioned, but scholars … Continue reading The Acceleration Of Ezekiel 38
It All Melts
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
Will America Do What’s Needed?
Mark 3:24-26, “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.” All of us should pay attention to every word God says, but … Continue reading Will America Do What’s Needed?
Is The Antichrist Alive?
Is the Antichrist alive? I often wonder about that. If so, is he a child, college age, an adult, or a senior? When he comes to power, I picture him as a JFK type: younger than most politicians, very charismatic, direct, and presenting a persona everyone wants to be around. I can already hear the … Continue reading Is The Antichrist Alive?
