I could have been a rock star
The other night I began watching a documentary about the rock group “The Eagles”. How and why they formed the group, who were the principal musicians, etc. It was interesting learning how two ordinary guys, who weren’t tremendously talented, made it all the way to stardom. It suddenly hit me. I could have been a…

Jesus Died For All
Sitting in a local shopping mall, I began to reflect on one of the most important and profound truths ever to be revealed by the angels of God, the people of God, and God Himself. Jesus died for all. Friends, enemies, people I like and those I don’t give a hoot about. Americans, Canadians, Mexicans,…

Only One Shot At Life
No one determines if or when they will be born, and most haven’t a say regarding the day they die. But we all have some input on how we’re going to live out the days in between. Whether we only have 10,000 days, or a whopping 35,000 days (almost 96 years), we only have one…

Hate is a Kingdom of God trait
Everyone knows God is love. Yet I believe we should understand He is capable of hating. A pure, undiluted hate. And as He is, that’s how we’re supposed to be if we, in fact, are followers and imitators of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. But should we hate when we’re part of…

What is happening to our nation?
“In God We Trust” Those words have been on all U.S. currency since 1957. Which seems a bit odd to me. Because ever since that time, this nation has steadily increased its trust in everything BUT God. However, I don’t believe God is ready to throw in the towel, or ignore those who call on…

You say you don’t believe in God…
Although there are many people who’ve convinced themselves and others that God isn’t real, God knows the truth. He knows He exists. “For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar…” (Romans 3:3 – 3:4…

Weak Reeds and Flickering Candles
Does a person have to scream and holler to prove they’re right? Must they write in ALL CAPS to get their point across? What would Jesus do? “He [would] not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle…” (Matthew 12:20 NLT) Big doesn’t spell best, loud doesn’t mean legitimate, and it’s not a…

The “Cellphone Walk”
As I’ve said on more than one occasion, I enjoy watching people. I can sit for hours and watch as they, lost in their own little worlds, file by. Lately I’ve noticed something about people. There are many who can’t take a step unless they have a certain electronic device in their hand. With the…

Love is more than a four letter word.
Someone said to me the other day, “Love is the most overused word in the world.” I started thinking about it, and had to agree she is right. Sure, we all use the word “love”. We love pizza, popcorn, and pretzels. We love the Bears (well, some of us do), baseball, and baked goods. We…

If…
If you’re lost If your life is hopeless If you’re to old to remember youth If you’ve forgotten more than most people have ever learned… If you’re worried If you’d rather give up If your toenail is busted If believing has become a thing of the past… If your heart is broken If…
