Slow Learners
There are all kinds of ways to quickly cook barbecue but any ‘barbecue master’ will tell you that the final result is in the preparation. I am somewhat of a pork tenderloin and babyback ribs master. My secrets? Haha, wouldn’t you like to know! How do you think the Israelites would have looked upon God…

Praise in the Storm
A few months ago I publicly wrote and announced that I was no longer hiding or avoiding Satan and his minions. I arrogantly wrote that I was declaring war on him and his evil. I naively shared that I was ready. I wasn’t and I am not. “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover…

Stay with me here.
Consider that the resentment, bitterness or just outright jealousy that may be aimed at you may have a purpose beyond what you can see. Most of us know the story of Moses. A Hebrew boy, saved by Pharaoh’s daughter, raised in privilege as an Egyptian (because he was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter). Confused by his…

It’s likley not if you are ready. Rather, will you accept?
“Who is a God like You, who forgives wickedness And passes over the rebellious acts of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He [constantly] delights in mercy and lovingkindness.” Micah 7:18 (AMP) In 2026, commit to approach the newness of the year with the refreshing that comes from…

CHRIST-MAS
You came and fulfilled the promises foretold 800 years before. You came through the lineage of David, 28 generations later. You came because your Father never fails. You came because you loved me more than you loved the glory, safety and honor of the throne upon which you rightfully sat and sit. You came because…

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…

Precious Memories Happening Now
“Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness, of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold” “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27…

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…

A they shall remain nameless…
I am preparing the construct of a new book and was reading today about the two spies that Joshua sent in to explore the promised land, “especially Jericho.” Two men that we must assume were men of absolute integrity, incredible bravery, trustworthy to protect the entire nation of Israel and yet, nameless. Joshua 2. We…
