They will take a mile…
Think about this. Thirty (30) years ago firearms were effectively outlawed in the UK. Today in England, Scotland and Wales, you can and likely will be prosecuted for ‘offensive’ social media posts. The once great leader on the World stage has effectively been castrated as evidenced in its stance toward current events. So who determines…

A rich man’s tomb…

In the 1990’s, several large cities across America aligned with the anti-gun lobby…

This morning verse 7 stood out, glaring at me with the fact that our selectivity of scripture likely leads to a life allowing…

Ready?
There was a song written in 1969 whose words and message resonate with me more and more the older I get. The song was titled “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” and the message was about the rapture, when those of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus will be removed from earth in…

There are No Victims Where Victors Roam
I love when I am blessed with someone who shares simple, beautiful, true wise words on social media. (It doesn’t happen often.) Recently I have seen a lot of posts about church hurt and the solicitation of things like ‘tell me your story’ or ‘share your church hurt.’ Pastors preparing to preach sermons on the…
