I got ya.
We’re entering a time period where there is very real risk of the emergence of the most cynical generation(s) in history. We have witnessed truth become a possessive determiner of ‘my truth.’ The undeniable traits of gender and genetics now a political football. All for the purpose of manipulation for votes and misunderstood ‘power.’ Now,…

The surgeon should know the procedure before the operation.
Why am I such an encourager of reading the Bible and seeking understanding of applying this to my life, and you to your life? Because I was born with a sinful nature already abiding within me.

“You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”
I served with a group of industry executives as a representative for the firearms industry in the ‘90’s. This involved going to Washington, DC and meeting with various pro and anti 2nd Amendment congresspeople and senators. Truly an enlightening and humbling experience. In the 1990’s, several large cities across America aligned with the anti-gun lobby…

Believe It!
“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.” I have read Romans chapter five hundreds, if not thousands of times. 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…
