Eternity is rushing towards us.
You and everyone else must be ready.

Genesis to Revelation in One Year
This being the first newsletter of 2010, I do hope it will be both encouraging and challenging to you. New Year’s resolutions usually don’t work, but commitments and covenants usually do. My challenge to you this year is for you to read your Bible front to back in 2010. All the way from Genesis to Revelation. Reading three and a half chapters a day, you will be able to accomplish that task this year. Fifteen...Continue Reading...
Money Bag
As many of you know, Judas Iscariot is one of the most fascinating characters in the Bible. There are so many questions that I wish I could have asked him at the time he walked with Jesus. Read these familiar verses in John 13:26-29: “Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the...Continue Reading...
The Land of the Rising Sun
I know that many of you were praying for my trip to Japan. Thank you so much for the prayers! In some ways, I was really dreading the trip because of the long flights, etc. I haven’t traveled overseas in many years. It wound up being one of the best trips I have ever had in my life! On the flight over, I was very happy: There was an empty seat next to me! That...Continue Reading...
Do Devils Speak Louder Than You?
Devils are a very real in the Bible: Leviticus 17:7 says, “And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.†Interesting word usage here in the King James translation: ‘going a whoring.’ That is not a word anyone would want to be called, but it is what God considers those who are sacrificing and chasing...Continue Reading...
What Will They Say About You?
It just seems that there is so much death around us. With the earthquake in Haiti, a freshman at the University of Georgia just died rock climbing, to actors and actresses dying, etc. But one that really got to me was the female lacrosse player that died at the University of Virginia. It is not that she died, we are all One Heartbeat Away from eternity; but we just don’t think like that. It is...Continue Reading...
Are Your Ears Itching Yet?
As we head toward the fulfilling of the prophecies of the end times that the Bible predicts, one thing you have to ready for, watching for, and listening for are false teachers. These will be both religious people of other faiths, as well as people who will fall under the umbrella of ‘christianity’ or as one guy called it ‘the visible church.’ I was reading an article entitled, “The Dalai Lama Packs Radio City Music...Continue Reading...
Thank You, Pastors!
I have been reading through the book of Jeremiah recently. I noticed that it mentions pastors a lot, and it got me thinking. A pastor is the shepherd over the flock. A shepherd is one that guides animals or in this case, people. A shepherd back in the day had a great responsibility to protect the herd from other animals and robbers. A shepherd was to protect the sheep. So a pastor would be someone...Continue Reading...
Will You Be Cheerful In The Coming Days?
So much is going on in our world today. From the earthquake in Haiti, to the gulf oil spill, to the economy, etc. One question to ask yourself is how is your attitude? How are you handling all of the current events in our world and in your life right now? As I have been reading through my Bible, one word kept popping up that hit me: It was the word ‘cheerful.’ I became intrigued...Continue Reading...
Names
As most of you know, I played basketball back in the day. I really used to love that sport. It was such an idol in my life. The good news for me now is that sports have taken a huge back seat as I walk through this world. I follow them a little bit, but in no way does it have the same pull in my life like it used to, and I am very...Continue Reading...
Your Sin Will Kill You
He died of cancer. The entire family died in a car accident. He couldn’t fight the leukemia any longer. He was in a fatal hit and run accident. She died of a heart attack. Emphysema beat him in the end. He just stopped breathing. They were killed by the hurricane. They were caught in a fire and never got out. She had an aneurysm. The virus was just too strong for his immune system. There...Continue Reading...
Thanks
A little over nine years ago, a man of God told me that I needed to write a book. He said that I had too much good teaching and too many stories to tell not to. He also told me that it is good to have something to leave with people after you speak, because they will usually want more of what you have to say. I listened to that man, but put it on...Continue Reading...
The Best Present of All
Luke 2:8-19 “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born...Continue Reading...
