"Breaking Newton's Law" - and living in peace
March 31st, 2008Newton's Law! "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". Though it may not be what Newton had in mind, this law especially applies within a marriage. Your spouse says something mean and hateful to you, then what do you do? You retaliate… more »
"The Pleasure is all Yours"
March 30th, 2008How do you pray? I listened to a sermon one time where the preacher was talking about "praying at all times". He said he got really serious one day, got on his knees and prayed about everything. Then he prayed about everyone he could think of. When he wa… more »
"Follow the Leader"
March 26th, 2008Matthew 23:10"Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. Need I say more? How did the title "spiritual leader" come about? Who is the leader of your Church? There is only one leader of the Christian Church! If your not follow… more »
"House Jones"
March 25th, 2008So, is anyone else out there hooked on House? Yes, I'm talking about the TV series. Granted, it would be more to my credit and better for my image if I were to say I was hooked on one of the TV evangelists, reruns of the flying nun, or even "Highway to H… more »
"Who Do You Pick?"
March 24th, 2008Some years ago, I played in the praise and worship group at a large church. I played Sunday mornings (two services) and Wednesday evenings for about 7 or 8 years. On Sunday mornings, the music had to be "perfect" and I'll admit the choir and the band wer… more »

March 23rd, 2008Drive down the street in "anywhere, USA" and every mile or two you'll pass a Church. There everywhere. Big ones and little ones of every denomination. They have one thing in common though. In every one there is one man or woman who stands out and above a… more »

March 22nd, 2008If you watched the news yesterday, you probably heard about the 57 year old woman who was sitting on a chair on the deck of a boat, when suddenly, a stingray flew out of the water and hit her. I assume she was killed instantly. The woman was from Michiga… more »
"Are you Delighted Yet?"
March 21st, 2008I was asked: "How do you delight yourself in the Lord?" The question sort of came at me unexpectedly, so I replied, "Me personally?" The reply was: "No, anyone". So I couldn't help but think, what answer would you get if you asked your local pastor or on… more »
Feeling Down?
March 20th, 2008Feeling like you didn't quite make the grade in God's eyes today? I know the feeling. I feel like that almost every day. I wake up and say: "Everything I do today, I'm going to do it to honor God. I'm going to make God like me and be proud of me today. T… more »

"You Can't Do the Walkin - Until You Do the Talkin"
March 14th, 2008How do you walk with God? You do it just one step at a time. Walking is great, but are you talking? God loves the personal communication with us you know. Most people think it’s the prayer while on your knee’s and using allot of fancy words laced with al… more »

March 13th, 2008Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." The scripture above is what you'd call… more »

May I Have This Dance?
March 10th, 2008David is probably my favorite character in the bible. Why? Probably because he reminds me of "me". No, I'm not comparing David's greatness to me at all, but he reminds me of me in the sense that he messed up allot! David sinned against God on more than o… more »
Beat the Baptists to the Buffet
March 9th, 2008A preacher that I have heard on a few occasions used to say that at the closing of his sermon. "Well, It's time to Beat the Baptists to the Buffet" He of course was being humorous. However, there was allot of truth to it. I don't know what it's like in y… more »
Who is the Greatest?
March 8th, 2008In the modern Christian world, if you ask who is the greatest preacher of this age, and who led the most people to the Lord, the vote would probably be Billy Graham by a landslide. And that's okay with me. I haven't seen every sermon that Billy Graham ev… more »
