Rick Stratton – Alive Forever!
I’ve been thinking about something lately; well, for the last couple of days. A friend of ours, a preacher named Rick Stratton, went to Heaven when his body just wouldn’t function any longer. Rick is quite a guy. We met him when he was a traveling evangelist. He was preaching for a pastor friend of…

The Pen and The Phone
This morning I was sitting in the neighborhood cafeteria, waiting for some friends to arrive; ink pen in my pocket and phone in my hand. While I waited I watched a little bit of MSNBC, something I don’t do very often. The topic of conversation was President Obama’s new phrase, “I’ve got a pen, and…

God in the Beginning
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 NKJV) Such a well known verse, even if it isn’t a well-believed verse. But the first verse in the Bible is THE foundation scripture for life! In the beginning… To show you what I mean, read it again, and this time move a…

Which Fountain Are You Drinking From?
Do you ever say, “I don’t feel like praising or worshipping God”? Does it sometimes seem like God hasn’t been truthful with you, or has let you down? Do you ever feel like he’s abandoned you? If so, maybe you need to drink from a different fountain. What do I mean? All around us are…
