Love Is An Odd Thing

Love is an odd thing! It gives without conditions, It isn’t fearful of what might happen. It isn’t blind; in fact, love sees things as they really are. It is like a mirror, accurately reflecting the condition of the one who stops long enough to gaze into it. It doesn’t demand it’s own way, or […]

End Times? Forget It!

Now that the Mayan crisis is over, we can all get on with life…BUT WAIT! “But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will […]

Arise, Shine!

Please don’t misunderstand me…I am not a gloom and doom kind of guy; but I have been spending time meditating on the Word and praying for and about the present day Church. While I may write things that seem like I’m ragging on the church and ministers, I am totally in love with Jesus AND […]

Could Jesus Be An American Preacher In 2013?

What if Jesus was a Preacher in the American Church in 2013? What would that look like? Would He know how to grow a church? Would He have a “staff” and what would that look like? Could the Apostle Jesus plant a church in today’s society, economy, and denominational organizations? How would He go about doing […]

Mrs. Grace’s Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ever heard the phrase, “you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”? You have? Well, it is a famous saying though I don’t know from whom it originated. But actually, I’d rather not catch flies! However, I am really interested in helping people connect with Jesus! Maybe you are, too. Ah, but what […]

Why Are You Holding Your Breath?

Ever stop and ask yourself, “Why do people hold their breath?” There are several reasons why. Some do it for spite, or to try to get their way. Some hold their breath because they can’t stand the stench in the atmosphere around them. Others may not like the way a certain food tastes, so they […]

Next Year (as I see it)

2013, I believe, will be a tougher year in every area but one. Social, financial, political, physical, even spiritual struggles will increase. People’s thought life will be challenged beyond what they’ve experienced and it will take a great degree of discipline to keep focused on truth rather than fantasy. I see a Divine Separation taking […]

Will We Let Him Gather Our Children?

How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me (Matthew 23:37 NLT) Those were Jesus’ words to the city of Jerusalem. You know what? I think He could be saying the same thing to our cities. But will we listen? […]

Created In His Image

You start with a pattern, the exact representation of what you want to create. Next, you take molding flasks, a top and bottom, (cope and drag); these will allow the molding sand to be pressed, squeezed with great force against the pattern. The molding sand looks like dirt, but it’s really silica sand mixed with […]
