Mountain of a Man
“He’s a mountain of a man!” That phrase has been around almost as long as the mountains. Whenever I hear those words, I think of someone like Grizzly Adams. Others may think of Jed Clampett, Daniel Boone, or even Adam Pontipee from the movie “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, played by Howard Keel. But what…

Israel, You Are Not Forsaken
Israel, you are not forsaken… Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me, for I have sinned against him. But after that, he will take up my case…

Who’s Turn Is It To Move?
Almost any time a group of people sit down to play a game, regardless of the game, there’s one phrase that is probably repeated more than any other. “Who’s turn is it to move?” Years ago when my wife’s granddad was alive, the three of us got together a number of times to play Dominos.…

Call the Contractor
Suppose you need a roof fixed, house painted, or sidewalk repaired? What do you do? Well, you probably call a friend, ask the computer, or ask the audience…oops, that’s a game show. Sorry. Back to the call a friend. You call someone you trust who has had sort of the same experience. Or, if that…

The Power of Encouragement
“What if the spirit of encouragement ran rampant throughout the church?” These are the words I heard The Lord speak to me one evening last June. That question has stirred the heart of my wife and I over and over ever since. The incident, the scripture, that stirred “the question” that night is the subject…

Actions Speak Louder
There’s a saying I like and it goes like this: “Your walk talks and your talk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.” In other words, “Actions speak louder than words.” Do you find that to be true? How do you respond when you hear someone say, “I love you”, but their…

Creative Genius
MacGyver, what a genius! He could do anything with practically nothing. He’d use his Swiss Army Knife, a paper clip, a little water and soda, ammonia, gum, baling wire, rope, duct tape and anything else he could find to use to get out of all sorts of scrapes. Plus, save the day for other people!…

Why I Believe Jesus Is The Healer
There are many viewpoints regarding the subject of healing, specifically pertaining to these questions: “Does God heal?”, “Does He heal today?”, “Is healing a ‘new age’ subject?”, “Does God give people cancer?”, “Is there such a thing as ‘faith healing’?”. On and on the questions flow, accompanied by answers that sometime bring more confusion and…

Take Off That Red Cape!
Clark Kent, that mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Planet, was quite a man. He could do all the things Superman could do (because that’s who he really was), but didn’t do anything unless he was wearing his big “S” and long red cape. Wonder what the deal was. I mean, when he learned of trouble,…

Yes, Shepherds!
God summoned His angels one day to explain His next installment of the Plan of the Ages. “And you are going to appear to a group of shepherds, as they are watching over their flocks. You’ll find them just outside the town of Bethlehem”, He said. “Shepherds?”, one of them incredulously asked. “We’ve watched those kind…
