I asked the Lord to help me know of His word; to learn more about Him. I want His thoughts to be my actions.
You may know that I have been a fan of SiriusXM Book Radio. I can listen to an audio book better than reading one. Continue reading
Proverbs
The Godly Man Helps the Failing Man.
Being a Godly man it is your calling and obligation to help others.
It is written as iron sharpens iron so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Prov 27:17
When David failed at maintaining his godliness, someone had to help sharpen his countenance. Continue reading
Now! Today!
Lately I’ve noticed how much time is spent on planning for the next future event. Everyone does it.
On Facebook it looks something like this, “I can hardly wait. Next week I’ll be lying on the beach soaking up the sun.”
Or this one, “I’m not looking forward to next week. I’ll be having tests run.” Continue reading
What you will leave behind!
Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their father. Prov 17:6
What will you leave behind for your children?
I’m not talking about the house, stamp collection, dishes, and municipal bonds. I’m talking about the real things they will remember – the things that will change their lives and lead them to change others. Continue reading

I can’t let my guard down!
I set my own standard high when it comes to how I act, what I say, where I go, and what I do.

Today is the best day!
I love to talk about future events. You can read many of my blogs that look at the return of Jesus and some of the things that may lead up to that.
Before you can reach the future you have to make it through today. Continue reading
Preach Jesus!
Our first meeting at CrossRoads was on a Thursday night. It was a small Bible study and I didn’t want to interfere with the Wednesday night meetings of the other churches around the area.
That was April/May 1999 but the inevitable was bound to happen. Continue reading

Ministerial Alliance with Lanny, Jim, and myself.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15
I studied at Jacksonville Baptist College from Spring of 1977 and graduated in May 1979. It was some of the most memorable years of my life.
I was able to study in my preferred field of interest – Bible. Of course I also had to dabble in history, science, and math. Continue reading
