The Ram in the Thicket
Those who are obedient to God’s direction, in spite of suffering and uncertainty, experience God’s victory and provision.. God gave Abraham a very odd directive; actually, it was a command. He told Abraham to take his son, his only son, to a place He would reveal to him, and sacrifice him on an altar. Abraham…

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…

Why was Jesus raised from the dead? These truths will excite you!
It’s that time of year again; the time when life is celebrated as a holiday. Easter. I understand there are many Christians who can’t stand the word Easter, because of its pagan origin. Frankly, though I’m not wild about the word, I am okay with the concept of taking a pagan holiday and turning it…

Mankind is heading towards a showdown with the Almighty; a time commonly known as The Great Tribulation. It’s also…

Jesus Isn’t A Republican
With only a week and a few days before the Iowa caucuses, I felt I needed to share this revelation with my friends, acquaintances, and maybe some not-so friends. Christian: you are under no obligation to vote for a Republican. Neither does it mean you are a heathen if you vote for a Democrat. There’s…

Why Wouldn’t God Judge America?
I kind of wonder what’s going to happen in November. Specifically, November 8th. I sure don’t like being pessimistic, and really, I’m not. Because what’s pessimistic about God’s will? You see, I’m not convinced this land we call the United States of America will ever be “great” again. I’d like it to be. But…

How Much Room Does God Require?
‘Tis the season to share a well read verse. “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from…
