When I was younger, I remember watching TV specials about “Magic’s Greatest Secrets Revealed” and, because wrestling was so big, “Wrestling’s Biggest Secrets Revealed.” They were interesting, revealing, and I was I watched in awe as the people on TV exposed things that had been a mystery to me. There are some things in the […]

You’re Not The Only One
Have you ever seen baby birds in a nest with their mouths open just waiting to eat whatever their mother drops in their mouth? They’re just making noise, waiting for their stomachs to be filled. All believers have the Holy Spirit on the inside of them, but not every believer listens to the Holy Spirit. […]
Are You Just A Friend Of God?
Have you questioned what you believe lately? It’s a good thing to do, you know. When we question what we believe, we usually end up in one of two places – 1.) we find we weren’t believing the true and in turn, find the truth, or 2.), our faith is strengthened in what we believe. […]
Feeding On Music
Let me ask you a question – “Who is your favorite Christian musician?” Since I’m asking questions, let me ask a few more – “Why?” “What’s your favorite song by them?” And finally, “What scriptures back up the lyrics in their songs?” When I first accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, I remember trying to […]
A Short Thanksgiving History Lesson
It’s very seldom that you see an entire nation raised up to do God’s will. In different times God will use different nations to accomplish His will, but it is rare that those nations are brought together and formed for the will of God to be accomplished. The only two that stand out is the […]

My family and I practice Karate as a family. We started it last year to get exercise and do something as a family and even though it’s tiring and we leave sore sometimes, it’s still great. One of the things about Karate, or any martial arts, is that there are different types of belt rankings. […]
Staying Christian When Christians Aren’t
There seems to be a growing increase of people leaving their faith behind and expressing their freedom from Christ, not their freedom in Christ. Of course it’s most prominently seen from Christian musicians (or “celebrities”), but they’re not alone. However, after listening to some of their reasons, I can totally understand their departure – based […]
How To Create An Atmosphere That Welcomes The Presence Of God
One of the greatest things in all the world is entering into the presence of God. Nothing compares with God’s presence, whether it is in a church service or in your bed room, or on the way to work or school. There’s nothing like it. Is it possible to create an atmosphere that is more […]
Lamb Selection Day
Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ – Isaiah 46:10 God declares the end from the beginning. Centuries before things happen, He has already seen it. He is the Alpha and Omega. God has […]
How The Gospel Was Preached
I remember years ago getting an email from a ‘ministry company’ that sold, among other things, sermon series for all different kinds of ministries. One of their “selling points” was that having a pre-made sermon series freed up your time so you could spend it on “more important” things like building relationships. While the thought […]
