Take That Mister Devil
Here’s a little bit of news you just may need, possibly tomorrow. It’s information about the devil. But it’s good news. Jesus makes it good news. The devil doesn’t like for anyone to bring this up, but it’s high time we put him in his place; under our feet. Sure, he’s called the accuser of…

Come See A Man
I sat on the hot and dusty stone wall staring at the man. For the past half hour we conversed. No, we didn’t converse – he read my mail and opened my heart like no one ever had. I’ve been in love countless times, married more times than I care to remember. Even the one…

God Gave Them Up?
May I ask you a question or two? They’re kind of personal. In the bible passage below, what kind of God do you see? And is this what is known as “hate speech?” A hateful God? A loving God? “Let’s burn ’em in hell” God, or “What else can I do?” God? You decide. “For…

Servant or Jackass?
I just have to share a story I heard today, as told by my good friend, Jo-el. I will probably be guilty of embellishing it just a smidgen, but the original thought came from him. I hope it makes you think, as it did me. Oh, by the way, and not to be vulgar, I…

Today, Easter Sunday 2014, was a day to remember. My wife and I, along with her sister, and her sister’s daughter and husband, attended Saint Johannes Lutheran Church in St. Clara, West Virginia. Well, I’m not sure if it’s IN St. Clara, or just close by. Really, it’s “up the holler”, as the locals would…

He Is Risen! Asah!
“He is risen! Asah!” Maybe my imagination is working overtime, but here’s how I picture the moments just BEFORE Jesus was raised from the dead. All is dark in the tomb. A legion of demonic forces are guarding the body from within the tomb, and from without. All Hell is on alert, wringing their hands…

Mary Magdalene’s Morning
I got up early, after a fitful sleep. Over and over, throughout the night, my mind replayed the horrible sights and sounds I witnessed a few days earlier. I begin my walk of mourning, to the place where my heart was buried. Jerusalem had been very busy for several days, with the Passover feast and…
