Faith and Football

Around 70 miles south of where I live is a town that very few have heard of – that is until this past week.
Kountze is like many other small Texas towns; they have a high school, they play football, and they support the team.
And like many other small Texas towns, God, church, and family are an important part of daily life. Continue reading →

Inhale Eagerly

Ps 119:131 – I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for Your commandments.
This verse caused me to stop and write a few notes last Sunday in Sunday school.
It’s the word “panted” that caught my attention. Continue reading →

The Word is Jesus

We have been studying Psalm 119 in Sunday school for several weeks. It contains 176 verses but what you may not know is it uses the phrase “your word” thirty-five times.
John tells us in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 Continue reading →

Yom Teruah – The Lord Comes

 

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, Continue reading →

Let’s see if I can try and put this together.
Wednesday evening we watched part 2 of Isaiah 9:10 – Judgment. This final installment had some eye-opening information.
Rabbi Cahn shared with us about the shemittah or the release. Two things would happen. Continue reading →

Judgment but no Condemnation

I think this bears repeating; so I shall.
The scripture most blurted out is two words – “Judge not.” Matt 7:1
It seems to me there is much more to it than that.
The New Living Translation says it this way Continue reading →

Judgment vs Condemnation

I saw a status on Facebook that has had me meditating about it ever since.
It said, “Don’t judge me just because I sin differently from you.”
There is something wrong about it and it’s taken me a few days to put it together.
There is nothing wrong with judging another person! Continue reading →

9/11 – Retaliate, Rebuild, but not Return

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Ps 33:12
In his inaugural address, President George Washington began talking about the “Almighty Being who rules over the Universe”, the Great Author of every public and private good, and the invisible hand of providence.
He said a nation such as ours could not have come into existence “without some Continue reading →

How things have change – how things have not changed

I like to listen to audio books while mowing. My iPhone, a pair of earbuds, and ear protectors make for some very entertaining and easy yard work.
Lately I have been listening to Pollyanna. I have always loved the movie that stars Haley Mills but must admit the book is very much different.
While listening on Saturday I heard something that really caught my attention. Continue reading →

Removing God

In case you missed it, the DNC removed “God” from any language in their platform. Then they added it back.
I watched the video of the vote, which took three tries, and I don’t think they had a 2/3 majority to add “God” back. Continue reading →
