O Worship The King!
“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.” (Psalm 104:1-2 ESV) Let your soul bless the Lord! And may this song, written by Robert Grant several hundred…

Guaranteed!
True or false? “You can have anything you want, if you want it bad enough.” What do you think? Is that a true statement? A lot of people seem to believe it. “You need to have passion”, is what they’ll say. Let’s see; will that work with finances? “If I want finances bad enough, is…

Why? When? And A Few Other Questions.
Have you ever thought, “Why did God create man in the first place?” Of course, I am presuming you believe in the biblical account of creation. Or is it assuming? I don’t know. Anyway, assuming we’re on the same page, at least momentarily, has that thought ever crossed your mind? Don’t you figure God was…

The Debate
Debates. Does the world need them? Does a “pro” ever become a “con”? Vice-versa? How does one win a debate? How do you score a debate? Do you win points for finger pointing, and are points deducted for each time you say, “huh?” I mean, it’s easy to tell who wins a football game. There…

Locked Out Of Heaven?
Well, it wasn’t much of a Super Bowl game, was it? Unless, of course, you were a Seattle Seahawks fan. But even then, at the end of the night it was just another game. Just another game. I didn’t watch the halftime show. Instead, my wife and I watched an old Gomer Pyle, USMC show…

Rich Enough!
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be rich? You know, the Warren Buffett kind of rich? Impossible, you say? Some people seem to believe that anyone can be rich, except them. I wonder why? I’ve heard people say, “I’ll never have much money. God knows I’d be full of pride and…

3 Big Questions
This post is very short; probably my shortest. It consists of 3 questions and a passage of scripture from Psalm 24. The questions: 1. Is true praise and worship limited only to people whose hands and hearts are clean, who do not worship idols and never tell lies? 2. If not, why does David write,…

Don’t Be Stupid!
“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.” (Proverbs 10:17 ESV) The dictionary defines STUPID in this manner: not intelligent having or showing a lack of ability to learn and understand things not sensible or logical not able to think normally because you are drunk, tired,…

Songs To Escape By
“You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.” (Psalm 32:7 NASB) The psalmist sang this declaration to the Lord after realizing how blessed he was to be free from the guilt, shame, and penalty of his transgressions. Praise and worship doesn’t require anything more than…
