But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. 1 Thess 5:4 NLT
Not too many things surprise me. Continue reading

As I was reading the Bible a bit this morning, I stopped on this verse; Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you. Mark 5:19
Jesus had just healed the man that had a legion of demons.
To have been isolated and alone while they tore him apart; to find no cure through modern medicine; and then to finally be at peace; what else could that man do but tell everyone what had been done for him. Continue reading

Here’s one for you.
A recent Christian radio talk show featuring a so-called Bible “expert”, who goes by the name The Bible Go-to Guy, says most of us are wrong about the divinity of Jesus because we misinterpret the Bible.
Another guest immediately went into a strong scriptural defense of Jesus in fact being God, citing the very first verse of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Continue reading

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, 2 Peter 3:10
What would you do tomorrow if you knew that someone was going to break into your home and steal all you have?
You would probably stay home, armed to the teeth, and wait.
You might hide outside, wait for the intruder, and call the police on your cell phone. Continue reading

What do you get out of a sermon?
It’s funny how what is said and what is heard is often two different things.
I recall the time that I was preaching on the grace of God and had mentioned that salvation is by grace plus nothing else.
There is nothing we can do to earn God’s love, deserve His forgiveness, or get His salvation. Continue reading

Linda and I were talking about why our church seems to be hated so much.
Our first year in the new sanctuary got us 7 broken windows on one side of the church.
There was glass scattered over an area of 2500 square feet.
We have been robbed on five different occasions. Continue reading

I was awakened by the sound of my cell phone going off but in the deep sleep that I was in, I just couldn’t rouse myself enough to answer it.
By the time I focused on the number that was calling it had gone to voicemail.
I waited until it signaled its completion and listened to the message. Continue reading

“Are ya’ll a Spirit filled church?”
I was asked that question yesterday.
To me, the answer depends on those that make up the church. Continue reading

Let me catch you up on the border collies, the girls, as I call them.
Lola and Zoe continue to grow by leaps and bounds. They are very intelligent and mischievous, a dangerous combination.
They come running to me when I whistle for them. Continue reading

Over the Christmas holidays, we took the grands to see the movie Bolt. It was in 3D and I must admit that I was expecting the old red and blue cardboard glasses that I had to wear when I saw Jaws 3D, several years ago.
Then there was the time that our local television station promoted The Creature From The Black Lagoon in 3d. Continue reading
