Years ago I had a friend who had his church destroyed because of a tornado. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the building was destroyed completely. And you know how when things like this happen, you have the pastor or someone stand up and says something similar to “the church isn’t a building. It’s the […]
I was listening to the radio the other day, flipping through the channels and I paused for a moment on a call-in show. The woman talking to the host asked him what she could do about something going on in the national spotlight. After the host said that there was basically nothing to do, the […]
I continually hear the theme about God moving mountains for people in music. The only problem is the Bible never talks about God moving mountains for us. It talks about us moving them. There’s other songs that talk about God fighting the battle for you. But God isn’t fighting a battle for you. God is […]
Years ago when I first got saved, I attended a small church of less than 100. We didn’t have a worship band. In fact, all we had was a CD player and a bunch of CDs for our worship. I had been born again for probably less than a year when the youth pastor gave […]

There was a question that was asked in one of the Facebook group’s I’m in, that I found quite important. The person in the group had this question: As I looked at some of the comments, which some were spot on, it seemed some thought that the question was not about how do you say […]
When I was a kid, I would play volleyball with my neighbor’s grandkids. My neighbor was an elderly woman and every now and then her grandkids would come over and we would play volleyball across the fence. The fence that separated our yards was the kind with the jagged spikes on the top. I’m not […]
Haunted Houses are big at this time of year. People like to be scared. But there’s real fears out there that go beyond monsters and all the things associated with Halloween. There’s fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of classmates. The list can go on and on. These fears have their root in […]
The Bible talks about ‘Fishers of Men,’ but Jesus said that to fishermen. The majority of Christians aren’t fishermen. Yet we still try to take this concept of being fishers of men and apply it to witnessing and sometimes, just sometimes, we focus on this concept of the “bait we use.” However, Jesus was […]
