The Ram in the Thicket
Those who are obedient to God’s direction, in spite of suffering and uncertainty, experience God’s victory and provision.. God gave Abraham a very odd directive; actually, it was a command. He told Abraham to take his son, his only son, to a place He would reveal to him, and sacrifice him on an altar. Abraham…

Authority
“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father. “ (John 10:18 ESV) Authority. Something many people crave, few understand, and even less attain. It’s…

The Gettysburg Address and Today’s Civil War
When I think about this beloved nation of ours, I can’t help but wonder just what’s in store. The words of Abraham Lincoln keep playing over and over in my mind (I changed the first four words to reflect today’s year. Lincoln’s words are in quotation marks).

The Big Guard Dog and the Protesters
Okay, so there’s this big dog. A good dog, but it’s really big. Its size makes it look much meaner than it is. All day long it patrols its yard, ready to bark if and when its challenged by an intruder; someone it doesn’t recognize or senses to be a threat. Remember, the dog is…

A Faithful Man
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished. (Proverbs 28:20 NKJV) Faithfulness. It’s something many people struggle with. Maybe not in their marriage, work, or finances, but in their spiritual life. Now don’t turn me off or quit reading. And preacher reading this, don’t be…

After The Storm Passes
I was communicating with a friend on Facebook a little while ago and mentioned we need to get together after the storm passes, referring of course to the coronavirus “storm”. As soon as I hit the post comment button, I had these thoughts – “What am I doing IN the storm?” “How can I make…
