I wonder?
I wonder about things not detailed in the Bible, understanding that these mental wanderings are not relevant to the perfect story of the Bible. I wonder, as the shepherds were in those fields, were the sheep extraordinarily calm or where they on edge with the expectation of the supernatural, humankind redeeming, promise fulfilling, God to…

The Raise
I guess it was around 1975 when I got “the raise.” There was never confusion about Christmas in the Mullins/Mason group of families. In that holler in Rockcastle County, KY, Jesus was (and is) the reason for the Season. He was (and is) the center of the celebration and the focus of all events that…

It’s Actually Quite Simple
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” John 15:4 (NKJV) The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) are actually quite simple and simply marvelous in their assurance of truth and life. Sin leads…

Problem or Opportunity? Our choice.
“We are right at the cliff. And I’ve been warning about this for almost a month now, that we have enough money to get us through the end of October. But after that, the government has to reopen,” Rollins said Tuesday on.” Brooke Rollins, US Secretary of Agriculture Now is a chance for the Church…

Tired & Ready
Dad, can I be honest and tell you that I am struggling to feel your presence this morning? I have read my Bible. I have prayed. I have watched podcasts. I have sought and listened to Billy Graham vids. I just feel empty. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will…

Landmines or Land Mining
Wikipedia defines land mines as “A land mine, or landmine, is an explosive weapon often concealed under or camouflaged on the ground, and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets.” I believe this is how Satan defines those of us who are sold out to Jesus Christ. We are, or certainly should be, Satan’s greatest…

The Bible Tells Me So!
If a train was barreling toward your car while it was stuck on train tracks, would you want me to pull you from the stuck car or helplessly try and push your car off the tracks? If your house was burning with flames breaking through the windows and roof, would you have me save you…
