Have you ever heard God speaking to you, even through a minister, and felt confused or disturbed?
Sometimes it is difficult to understand what God is trying to say.
Take the case of Mary when Gabriel shows up and says she is highly favored of God.
Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God!” Luke 1:29-30 Continue reading
Bob Evans July 27, 1935 - June 13, 2011
When I purchased a tractor a few years ago, I went to a local dealer, Bob Evans.
Bob passed away this week but he has a legacy that will live on.
I was told this by one of my church men, who was also in the market for a tractor. Continue reading

This salmonella/peanut butter thing is ridiculous.
It has come to light that the company knew they had a mildew problem on their hands and still said nothing about it, didn’t deal with the problem, and continued to manufacture the product and distribute it for public consumption.
I know why. Continue reading

And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 1 Sam 17:4-6
I was talking with someone the other day that kept telling me to “put on the armor”.
While I am fully aware of the Christian implications of that phrase, I am also aware that it is correct to say, “Put on the whole armor of God.” Eph 6:11
Any one can wear “an armor”! Continue reading

I met a lady yesterday on crutches with a broken foot so I asked her what happened.
“Do you want the made up, embellished version or the truth?” she said.
I told her to start with the made up story.
She told of going to Montana for Christmas and skiing on the slopes. Continue reading

What do you get out of a sermon?
It’s funny how what is said and what is heard is often two different things.
I recall the time that I was preaching on the grace of God and had mentioned that salvation is by grace plus nothing else.
There is nothing we can do to earn God’s love, deserve His forgiveness, or get His salvation. Continue reading

“Are ya’ll a Spirit filled church?”
I was asked that question yesterday.
To me, the answer depends on those that make up the church. Continue reading

Let me catch you up on the border collies, the girls, as I call them.
Lola and Zoe continue to grow by leaps and bounds. They are very intelligent and mischievous, a dangerous combination.
They come running to me when I whistle for them. Continue reading

I met with a couple of tower climbers the other day. They had come to do some work on our antenna some 600 feet in the air.
I was expecting Preston to be with them but he wasn’t so I asked about him.
“Oh, he fell and #@*% up his hand. Uhh, I mean messed up his hand.” Continue reading
