Why Church?
Going to church can be an iffy proposition to many these days. Some people don’t see a need to go to church. They have YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram and other internet platforms to get all of God they want. Others have been to church in the past, and someone or something there has wounded them, […]
Is It Time to Improve Your Grip On Life?
Recently I put a new set of tires on my truck. The ride was still fine and there were no issues I was aware of, but I could tell the tread on the tires was getting lower and worn. I went to a local tire shop, purchased a new set of tires, and had them […]
When God Chose a Father Has Been Released!
Where Jesus Stood
Over the past months I’ve watched and read various viewpoints from people who have feelings on where our country and world are headed. I was taught that there were two subjects that have the most chance to divide people at the dinner table – politics and religion. Throw in some deeply held convictions and ideologies, […]
Is Your Pillow Like a Rock?
Pillows play a large role in how well we rest. A poor pillow can cause nights of tossing and turning, resulting in poor sleep. Nights of poor sleep affect your mental sharpness, and eventually your health. What you rest your head on is important. There are many different types of pillows out there to […]
Why It Was a Good Friday
Perspective is so important. I have to admit that I had at one time wondered about how the day of Jesus’ death ended up being known as “Good Friday” instead of “Crucifixion Day”. From the accounts in the gospels, Jesus’s family and friends witnessed Him suffer and die on that day. It sure didn’t […]

What Is This “Goodwill” You Speak Of?
Growing up, each Christmas our church would put on a Christmas program on Sunday evening. Members of all ages would practice their parts, from us younger ones singing “Away In a Manger” to the adults performing their Christmas Cantata. Being a kid, I had no idea what a “cantata” was. I knew that there […]
A Sheep Named Jerry
I was looking at a picture of a stadium full of people and it amazed me at how many people were in the crowd. It was over 100,000 people. As I looked at that crowd it occurred to me that I saw a crowd of 100,000 people, but what God saw was 100,000 individuals. […]
Rescued From, Not Sent To
From time to time I’m asked questions on the subject of Hell and why God would send people there. I realize that the discussion can go many different ways, and there isn’t nearly enough room in this format to address them all. What I would like to do is share a quick thought on […]
