Tents
“For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long…

Why Zombies?
Zombies. Not much to look at, hard to converse with, and their stink is worse than their looks! Oh, and a word of advice: NEVER trust one. They have nothing to lose if caught in a lie. The walking dead. Who would have thought it? And why the fascination? Is it because people relate to…

God IS Moving!
God IS moving throughout the world! “But I haven’t seen Him do anything! He hasn’t moved for me!” What if He moved in a way that we’d never witnessed? What if He told us things we’d never heard before? What if He actually smashed the religious boxes we have tried so desperately to keep Him…

The “Tingler”-Spirit of Fear
As a kid, I saw some scary movies. Haunted Palace, a 1963 movie, is one I saw at a theater when it was first released. I was not quite 9 years old, and even though I spent half the time huddled behind the seat in front of me, it scared the bejeebers out of me.…

Almost every day I hear someone talk about their “bucket list”. Do you have a bucket list? People have bucket lists for all sorts of things they want; to have, to eat, to buy, to do, and places they’d like to visit. I’ve got a few things in my bucket, as well. What if you…

Lord of the Flies
Isn’t it funny how some thoughts seem to hang around for days without you knowing why? Well, here’s something that’s been buzzing around my head for a bit. When’s the last time you thought about flies? You know, those pesky little critters with wings and big eyes. The ones that always have to fly in…

Brilliant Man?
Knowledge, inventions, scientific discoveries; these all seem to be increasing. Multiplying! Wouldn’t you agree that there are a lot of brilliant people in this world? Just think of all the inventions within the last 60 years! Since I’ve been on this earth, the world has seen some awesome things “invented”. For instance: 1955 TV Remote…

Bridge Boy
Have you ever known someone who had tons of great ideas, yet they were only great to the one who thought of them? If so, you probably knew me when I was between the ages of 15 and 18. One of my greatest ideas, some would say my “signature idea”, was my idea to live…

Appreciate Your Pastor
Disclaimer: This post is not about my wife and I. Though we have pastored a couple of churches in the past, we are not pastoring now. However, we do know what it’s like; the joys, the sorrows, the pressures, the emotions and spiritual battles involved with one of the most important ministries in the Kingdom…
