At last Job spoke, and he cursed the day of his birth. Job 3:1
That’s a pessimist; but I’m not in his situation, nor do I want to be.
I bless the day of my birth, which is today; well, at least the anniversary of it! Continue reading

False Teachers
I know that there are some pseudo-Christians around; a pseudo-Christian being a false Christian. The Bible even speaks about them in 2 Tim 3:5 saying they will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.

There are many “gospels” that you can read these days, Continue reading

Put Away Childish Things
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Cor 13:11
I remember when I turned 12 years old, it was the day I was no longer a child.

The Big One Got Away!
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt 4:19
One more thought on fishermen; did you know they have a tendency to exaggerate?

A Great Day for Fishing!
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt 4:19

Just because something isn’t caught today doesn’t mean you quit fishing all together. Continue reading
