I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. Continue reading

I do and don’t understand but I believe!
Last night at church there was a question about Revelation. To be honest, I’m not sure it was answered.

When Godly men fail!
The past couple of days I’ve looked at Godly men that seem to not take their eyes off God. They stand firm in the faith no matter what the circumstances.
Though men like that exist I think they are not as populous as those that fall to temptation and failure. Continue reading
A Godly Man – 2
Another thought from yesterday on the Godliness of Daniel.
It says that God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel. Dan 1:9
I wonder what may have happened if this man did not like Daniel and his friends – if he had treated them harshly. Continue reading
A Godly Man
Who is the most Godly man in scripture, other than Jesus?
You will have a different answer than me and probably everyone else around you. There are so many to choose from. Continue reading
Let an irritation change your attitude for the better.
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isa 26:3
There are some things that irritate me.
Drivers that won’t drive the speed limit don’t irritate me until they allow Continue reading
