If you’ve been around a few decades, and you’ve gone to a Bible believing church, I feel pretty certain you’ve heard the old hymn, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”. And if you’re young and think it might be too corny or old-fashioned to sing such an old hymn with a bunch of thee’s, thy’s, and thou’s, it might interest you to know…Elvis Presley even sang … The rest of the story…
I’ve had a number of brand new cars in my life. And I’ve enjoyed the luxury of a large house with plenty of nice furnishings. At times you could see I was not denying myself the pleasures of multiple performance tools like keyboards, computers, sound systems, and various accoutrements. (I always wanted to use that word somewhere) But all the “stuff” pales in comparison … The rest of the story…
I use an app on my iPhone to read the news from around the world. The app divides stories into categories like news, technology, music, photography, business, social media, and a variety of others. I enjoy just about all the categories except for “news”. Almost every story is about the evil mankind commits on a daily basis. If you’ve also found this to be … The rest of the story…
The one true, living, loving God gave you life. And He offers you His love, but He doesn’t force it on you. He offers you help, but He doesn’t force on you. And He offers you peace, but He doesn’t even force that on you. In fact, you get to decide if you want to let peace rule in your heart. I’m not talking … The rest of the story…
When you put your faith in The Way, The Truth, and The Life known to all the world as Jesus, you receive grace…a free gift of God. But have you ever thought about how much it cost Him? I don’t mean only the horrible death on a cross. That’s enough to save the whole world…past, present, and future. But there’s something infinitely more costly … The rest of the story…
You look around and all you see is bad news. Every TV news channel reports the murders, the wars, the stealing, and all the other constant crimes of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. In the middle of all this…not to mention your own personal crises…is it possible to be of good cheer? Well, what if I told you the Creator of the universe … The rest of the story…
Have you ever felt like throwing your hands up in frustration at the lack of response (or even downright obstinance) from unbelievers? I certainly have, and if I only depended on myself, I’m certain I would have retreated into my own personal Christianity long ago. But Christians were admonished by Paul to not “grow weary while doing good especially to those who are of … The rest of the story…
Is there really such a thing as everlasting love? Well, if I tell you there is…do you want any part of it? Or are you afraid you’re not worthy of the whole idea of everlasting love? If so, you’re not alone. No one is worthy of it, but… …the good news is…no one receives this kind of love based on his or her own … The rest of the story…
A red letter edition of the Bible is a version where the words in red are the ones spoken by Jesus after He became a man. As far as I know you’ll only find those words in the New Testament. But one verse I always remember, when my soul wants to worry, is Matthew 6:34. You’ll see these words in red: “therefore do not … The rest of the story…
If you’re in a room that’s so dark all you can see is the darkness, what’s the one thing you’re gonna be looking for all the time? Right…light. Gotta find that light switch. At best it’s a clumsy feeling to walk around in the dark. At worst, it can take your mind in terrible directions. That’s one of the reasons John, a guy in … The rest of the story…
