Santa’s Visit: Guaranteed
Ever wonder how to make sure Santa visits your home? Well, here is a list that is guaranteed to help secure a visit from that ageless, jovial fat man dressed in red and white; who tromps around in big, black boots. First of all, make sure you have THE ROOM decked out! Your special Christmas…

Spiritual Worship
I think the song went something like, “I’m eighteen and I like it!” That was me. That was my “worship song”, though I didn’t call it that at the time. Married and 18, with visions of becoming a rock and roll star dancing in my head. Christian? Nah, didn’t have the slightest interest in God,…

What Does God Hate?
God is love, but He still hates! What does God hate? Does He hate tattoos, or Christmas trees, or little fat Santas? Is He a hater of republicans, democrats, or both? Does He hate the United States of America, as some “prophets” have proclaimed? Just who, or what, does God hate? Maybe God hates Starbucks…

Life Is Short
Life is short. So brief. It’s like an early morning mist covering a quiet, peaceful valley. For as soon as the sun rises, casting its illuminating rays into the valley, the mist and shadows are gone. So short. So brief. Even someone blessed to see their years extend into the 80’s, 90’s, and 100’s, have…

O Worship The King
Who is like our God? Who else is worthy of all our worship? There’s only One who is powerful enough to create Heaven and Earth; everything seen and unseen. Yet He’s tender and gentle enough to hold us in His arms. God alone hates evil with a pure, righteous, and unselfish hatred. And although His…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m sitting here, kicked back on my couch, wondering how the phrase “Happy Thanksgiving” ever got started. Do you know? And why is it “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Christmas”? Any ideas? Oh, well. But what kind of a world would there be if people quit being thankful? I imagine a world without…

Black Friday / Black Plague
Well, it’s almost here…Black Friday. A time for all consumers to do one thing; CONSUME!!! Time for the merchants to feed the cravings of their pigeons. Get up at half past dark, throw on your clothes, and start driving even before you wake up. Battle your way through the war zone called Department Store. Fill…

Worship is not a Magic Lamp
“Do we sometimes treat worship like a modern day Aladdin’s Lamp?” God is not trying to hide from you. He hasn’t locked Himself away from you, expecting you to figure out the lock combination before He’ll “step out into the open.” He doesn’t dwell inside a beautiful, old, lamp; just waiting for us to rub it…

Halftime!
What a game! Did you see it? I’m referring to the Broncos/Patriots game last night. Wow! I must say, I was hoping the Broncos would win. And at halftime, with the score 24-0 in favor of Denver, I was tempted to shut the TV off and read a book. I would have missed quite the…

Judah and Simeon
“Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?” And the Lord said, “Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.” So Judah said…
