“There is no God” Says the fool. Only a fool could or would dare to make the claim that there is no God. Because it’s a self-refuting assertion. In order to say it so absolutely, you’d have to know everything there is to know about everything in and around the universe. And in order to know all that, you’d have to BE God. Which … The rest of the story…

How long? More than just a question One day, back in 1975, I was driving on a small highway in Kansas with my radio on. I know…what are the odds? And I remember a song started playing, and I liked it before it got past the first couple of measures. Because it started with a simple bass line, added a simple drumbeat, and then … The rest of the story…
Happy Resurrection Sunday 2020 As I do every year, I’m gonna share my song, The Way, with a link to the video I made way back in 2011. And I’d like to think maybe somebody, who’s not already a Christian, will see it and change their eternal destination. Not because of my song. Or anything to do with me. But because of who it’s … The rest of the story…
Who could use a little Sunday morning inspiration? Show of hands…yeah, there’s a few of you. OK, so here it is. You can do it! Now, go out there and get it done! There. How’s that? Are you pumped and ready to take on sickness, sadness, disease, and disaster? What? No?! What do you mean I just used a cliché? Wow, way to look … The rest of the story…
My songwriting for hope has a much broader scope And when I say, songwriting for hope, I’m not talking about a person’s name. I’m talking about actual hope. Yes, it’s a real thing. In spite of all the negativity media and social media channels are putting out. And it’s always available. But most people don’t have a clue where to look. Because they focus … The rest of the story…
Even in this troubled world the Lord sustains me I know I’m not alone when it comes to having troubles in this world. In fact, no one on Earth escapes trouble. And there are billions of people who are far worse off than me. Most of them don’t even realize just how much worse off. So, I have a distinct advantage over them. Because … The rest of the story…
Walk Stand Sit When I was 13 years old, I prayed with my Grandmother and chose eternal life with God. And from that moment on, my life has been one perfect day after another. That’s how it is when you choose to walk stand sit in the way of the righteous. And turn your back on the ungodly. Are you still with me? Some … The rest of the story…
With my simple words I say I’m thankful for another day I hope you woke up this morning thankful for another day. I did. And no matter what your circumstances are, you have many reasons to be thankful. Not the least of which is another day of life. Another day to recognize (or discover) how much your Creator loves you. And guess what? You … The rest of the story…
Jesus is the one way I see social media posts and internet articles talking about the forgiving nature of God. And His immense love. Of course, God forgives and loves. Certainly He does. But, unlike most Christians will tell you, it’s not unconditional forgiveness and love. God has one, single condition, one requirement, for His forgiveness and eternal love. You gotta humble yourself and … The rest of the story…
No one lives on Disappointment Island. And yet, at one time or another everyone has lived on disappointment island. Let me explain. One is an actual island near New Zealand. The other is a metaphor I’m gonna use to describe a place where even your friends will ship you. Sometimes when you least expect it. It’s a consistent consternation to me how even the … The rest of the story…
Who knows the secrets of men? Almost every day I see a video or movie, or read an article, or hear someone in person say something like, “I’m not judging you.” Or “Don’t judge me.” And of course, the ever popular, “You’re so judgmental.” The irony is, 99.99% of the people saying those things are judging somebody at the very moment they say the … The rest of the story…
Guilty people go to hell There. I said it. That’s what happens to guilty people. Not jail. Hell. Sounds kinda bleak, doesn’t it? And even if you count yourself among the non-judging people, you probably have a few choice words for me right about now. It’s Ok. I’ve heard “˜em before. Guilty people tend to know they’re guilty. When I was probably around 10 … The rest of the story…
Be fruitful and multiply Even if you’re not a Christian or Jew, you’ve probably heard the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And you might remember how God told them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves … The rest of the story…
Shut your mouth and tolerate If you wanna make sure more bad things happen in the world, shut your mouth. And put down your pen and keep your hands off the keyboard. Just keep your narrow-minded, hard-hearted, and “religious” opinions to yourself. Otherwise, how in the world are you ever gonna learn to tolerate more and more anti God rhetoric and behavior? Huh? There’s … The rest of the story…
Sharing a few therapy notes today, and… They’re not what you might imagine when you first read that headline. I wrote down some therapy notes back in 1989, and they became one of my songs no one would like but me. And even I didn’t like it all that much. The proof of that is I don’t remember the melody. But I remember WHY … The rest of the story…
God will call you through His grace. Will you take the call? Just about everybody I know has a smartphone. Or two or three. We have a couple of them in our house. And they’re awesome tools. You can use them to check your email, keep up with friends and family on social media, take some snapshots, watch videos, listen to podcasts, and even … The rest of the story…
The life which I now live is better than the one I lived before Think about this for a bit…no one is the same person from birth to death. A tiny baby is the most innocent of all God’s creations. An old man is the least innocent. What happens between is a result of choices. Thousands and thousands of choices. Can you say you’ve … The rest of the story…
If your theory of how life began is only filling in the gaps with guesses, you need a new theory. The first thing I’d like to say is how much I wish those who oppose the notion of a Creator God would come to know the saving Grace of Jesus. I don’t want you to die and go to hell. And neither does God. … The rest of the story…
Down and out. You’ll find a lot of self-help articles on how to deal with feeling that way. But I’d like to suggest that your “self” isn’t the best place to look for help. In fact, I’d like to suggest you look for what your Creator says about you. When you do, you’ll discover a much more dependable source for how to deal with … The rest of the story…
Most people on the planet…yes most…don’t believe in “a creator God”…much less “THE Creator God”. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the same old cliché: “I just don’t see any evidence of a Creator”. The evidence is all around you. In fact, the evidence completely and thoroughly surrounds you. And only a fool would ever make the claim, “there is no God”. … The rest of the story…
