How Long Must I Believe?
“I am so tired of waiting!” “If God is so good, and His promises never fail, why is it taking so long? How much longer must I believe?” Those are honest questions, don’t you think? I mean, really. I understand Rome wasn’t built in a day, but c’mon. Most people despise having to wait. They…

Does a lion roar in the forest?
Have you ever heard the roar of a lion? No, I’m not referring to Marlin Perkins’ old television show, “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom”, which originally aired from 1963-1988. Have you heard the roar of a lion, up close and personal? I can’t recall hearing one, though the few times I’ve visited a zoo I’ve…

Do YOU Have A Healthy Smile?
I’ve heard it said, and maybe you have as well, that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Many people believe it, but there are some who emphatically don’t. Searching the Internet, I discovered quite an array of opinions. For example, there are those who believe the old adage, claiming it takes 43…

Have you ever stopped to think about God laughing? Here’s one instance: “but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.” (Psalm 37:13 ESV) I can imagine a few other things which may give God a chuckle. Like His church. Those leaders who are so caught up in titles…

The Militia Problem

Over the past few decades, the idea of an anti-government militia has been gaining ground. In some areas, it’s become more than an idea. Regional militias are forming, because the anger of…

The Pope and Mister Trump
Well, the political jargon is on the rise. Today, even Pope Francis got involved. He said, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not a Christian. This is not the Gospel.” He was responding to a question about Trump’s promise to build a wall between…

YOU Matter
I had the wildest dream. No, not like some I’ve had. The other night I dreamed Elvis (yes, THAT Elvis) was alive. Not only was he alive, but I was at a bowling alley with him. Alternating between bowling and singing; we were having a blast! No, when I say a wild dream, I…

The Coming Exodus
Like it or not, the world is quickly changing. Believe it or not, there’s coming a day when, like the Exodus of days gone by, yes, the very same one Cecil B. DeMille turned into a movie starring Charlton Heston, the people of God will be delivered from this sensual, evil world. Those who are…
