For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty. Ps 74:20
I don’t know why I had become this way but I just had no desire for church camp this year. Continue reading
Month: March 2015
Joyful Noise – Joyful Shout
On the last Sunday of a month we decided to have a singing/band practice. This gives members in our church an opportunity to practice any special music for the coming month and it gives the praise band some time to play together. Continue reading
You follow Me!
I discovered that Christians worry about really trivial things. Sometimes we stick our nose where it belongs but keep it there for way too long.
It’s okay to look at other churches.
It’s fine to glimpse at another ministry. Continue reading
A battle worth losing!
The word of God still does what it should do.
It is written,
For the word of God is living and powerful, Continue reading
Change and difference
Last time I looked at the spreading of the Gospel to the nations.
With the preaching of God’s word always comes the chance of change. All it take s is someone to alter the pure message of the Bible. Continue reading
Preaching to the World
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
This thought occurred to me.
Every so often someone will bring up a question about those that never hear the Gospel of Christ and their disposition on judgment day. Continue reading
Son of Father
It’s a strange feeling to see someone that looks like you.
That happened one time, many years ago at Astorworld. (Yes, it was a long, long time ago) Continue reading
Your name.

Sin is Sin
You cannot take a vote and make sin acceptable to God. Whether it’s adultery, fornication, homosexuality, or drunkenness (to name a few) – God has not overlooked any sin and changed His mind about it. Continue reading
Victory is Mine!
An East Texas school will no longer read scripture during the morning announcements. This decision comes after a formal complaint was filed with the school by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
That organization says the practice of Biblical readings is not only offensive to non-Christians, but against the law. According to the FFRF, the decision is a win.
How sad it is when removal of Christ from society is considered a victory.
Let me share my victory!
Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15:57
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. 1 John 5:4
In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Rom 8:37
We sometimes sing a song in church:
Victory is mine,
victory is mine,
victory today is mine.
I told Satan to get thee behind,
victory today is mine.
The FFRF did not win – they lost!
Jesus said this and it may be a bit of a stretch but I think it’s appropriate,
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Mark 8:35-36
