Die to Self
What does Jesus mean when he talked about dyeing to yourself, or presenting your body as a living sacrifice?
This is a discussion of the meaning of salvation and our responsibility to God.
Sin, Chuch and God
It seems there is an ongoing epidemic of Church assemblies trying to cure sin in the lives of their attenders. Is that Biblical?
What is the root cause of all sin? What’s the Church doing? Do we accept the sinner?
What does Paul say?
Who Are The Least Of These?
Something troubling is happening in the American church culture that needs to be addressed. I realize that not every assembly of God-fearing Christians are guilty, and maybe your congregation is different, but we need to consider Jesus’ words very carefully.
Pearl of Great Price
The angels rejoiced that warm spring day as a penniless child opened her heart to Jesus. But the child was ignored by the house of worship, for an impoverished child has no place in the modern church of human worship. Those who are hungry and naked are not welcome in the hearts of those who worship in those hallowed halls. .
The Blessing of Loss
During the 2000s decade Amy and I built a successful business and throughly enjoyed the experiences that success brought us. We made the money we needed to raise our children, with enough of what they needed and some of what they wanted. We were able to raise them with some acreage to play, neighbors who were positive and friendly role models, and a house big enough for all their friends.
Abba Father
The creepiest sound I have ever heard was nothing at all. My wife, Maria, and I stood in the hallway of an orphanage somewhere in the former Soviet Union, on the first of two trips required for our petition to adopt. Orphanage staff led us down a hallway to greet the two 1-year-olds we hoped would become our sons. The horror wasn’t the squalor and the stench, although we at times stifled the urge to vomit and weep. The horror was the quiet of it all. The place was more silent than a funeral home by night.

Relationship with Jesus?
What's this thing called Blessings?
The ARK Encounter
When we arrived in our RV I took a few minutes to survey the view. The ark sat about a half mile from our parking spot on an opposite hill. I tried to imagine the thoughts of the folks in Noah’s day who would see that boat from a far hill.
Just Enough
Memories Made
This week has been one of those weeks that will be forever remembered as a marker in history. We will forever look back and say “remember that week”?
Should We Judge One Another?
This question comes up almost on a daily basis. If there is one scripture that everyone is familiar with it is Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
What most people are saying is don’t remind me of the fact that I’m transgressing Gods law. If you were to tell them that the Bible says this or that most people will take offense to what you say. This is because you bring conviction to their life.
