Are you smug in your Christianity?
My, how smug we can be at times; yes, even as Christians. “I’ve been saved thirty years, and I’m never tempted any longer.” “I can handle anything that comes my way!” “I’m God’s man of faith and power. I have on the full armor of God, and I can do all things through Christ Who…

Lawlessness – the Spirit of the Age
The spirit of antichrist is becoming more and more prominent. Lawlessness. “I can pick and choose which laws, if any, I will keep.” Is it any wonder so many police officers are being targeted and killed? Lawlessness. The spirit of the age. “Oh, brother!” “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and…

We don’t have to sin!
“Everyone sins, at least a little bit.” “No one’s perfect, you know.” Guess what? Both of those comments are cop outs. The only thing they do is help the sinner justify their actions in their own mind. They do not agree with God’s Word. Sure, people sin. I do, and probably you do, as well.…

When no one seems to notice…
I watched a little three year old playing in the “corn crib” with other kids. The corn crib is a play area for little kids; a blocked in place filled with dried corn approximately six inches deep. The bigger ones were standing on the surrounding hay bales, counting to three, then jumping over the little…

Are you tired of your stinking thinking?
You know what? Sometimes we become so good at fooling others, we forget the truth about ourselves. People at church, family members, and others we come in contact with may think we’re so wonderful. The model Christian; a poster child for the kingdom of God. Of course God knows the truth, but until we come…

They went that-a-way!
I’ve been around this old world for over sixty one years. I’ve done a lot of things, gone a lot of places, and made a lot of friends. But the other day I had a new experience. If you’ve watched any cops and robbers shows, or some good old westerns, you’ve undoubtedly heard someone say,…

The One Second Rule
“Wait a second!” Have you ever considered just how long a second is? Or how much can be accomplished, either good or bad, within the little bit of time we call a second? For example, if you travel at the moderate speed of 60 miles an hour, or a mile a minute, in one second…

Just wait until your father gets home!
Most people know what I’m talking about when I say growing up has its challenges. Do you agree? And many people (especially baby boomers) can remember those seven terrifying words which struck fear into the heart of every kid; words only a frustrated and frazzled mother could say. “Just wait until your father gets home!”…

Guys, are you training to be a rapist?
Rape is NEVER okay. It should NEVER be tolerated, and its punishment should be VERY SEVERE. With that said, let’s look at ways it may be prevented. And no, I’m not going to blame the victim for the actions of the rapist. Rapists aren’t just born, they develop. No little guy is ever destined to…

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall…”, inquired the evil queen in the fairy tale “Snow White”. Have you ever wished YOU had such a mirror; one that would always tell the truth, regardless of who’s standing in front of it? Actually, there is such a mirror. But the question is, can you handle the truth? Mirrors…
