There are (and have been) so many men who want to own and rule this world. So many who would be king of the world…king of the universe. None of them ever succeeded. None of them ever will. It may appear they did or have…but only for the briefest of time. When you consider eternity, time without end, a couple of decades here on … Read the rest…
Rocks can’t love. If one of them falls on another, they don’t get into a fight. Trees don’t love. If one of them is uprooted by a storm, you’ll never see the others giving a memorial service. But I can love. And because I can love I know there is a living, loving God who designed me that way. You don’t have to be … Read the rest…
Have you ever heard someone say “you Christians created a god because you need a crutch?” I’ve heard that, or something like it, many times.

As I look back on the previous xx years (oops my keyboard won’t type a number that high) I can’t believe that much time has passed. I remember … Read the rest…
If you’ve ever read The Revelation (the last book in the Bible), you probably understand how it reveals and predicts. It’s prophetic. Some of it has happened. Some is happening now. And some is yet to come. But the point I’m making is this…The Revelation proves we’re still living in the “Bible Days.” When you get a true sense that time is certainly running … Read the rest…
I know I’m not better than you if I say I’m a Christian and you say you’re not. I’m just better off than you because I know when I’m finally absent from this body, I’ll be “present with the Lord“.
