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

20/20 Vision
Welcome to the New Year! It is always an exciting time as the clock strikes midnight finishing up one year and heading into a new one. Trust me on this: 2012 is going to be one exciting year! If you make it to December 31st of this year, you can be sure that you will not be able to use the word ‘boring’ to describe your previous 365 days! Is anyone getting older out there,...Continue Reading...
No More Excuses
I am very much enjoying reading through my Bible front to back again this year. It is great to reread some of those great accounts of God’s power and how He uses people. Remember though: Don’t just read your Bible, also heed what it says. ‘Read and heed’ is how one of my friends puts it. If we read our Bibles and obey what we read, it is always going to lead to an exciting...Continue Reading...
Fear Not
As Joshua and the Israelites were going about God’s business of taking the land that He had promised them, something very interesting happened along the way. Joshua 7:4,5 says: “So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote...Continue Reading...
God Has Rejected You From Being King
1 Samuel 15:10-23 “Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set...Continue Reading...
You Only Live Twice
If there is one thing I really enjoy in life, it is meeting people! People are so fascinating to me. Not only are we the only part of God’s creation that is made in His image, but every single person also has a story. Everyone has life experiences that make them infinitely interesting. One of the keys to life is to make sure that we are not so busy that we just walk right past...Continue Reading...
The Hand of God
I am enjoying reading and studying through the Scriptures again this year, and as usual, Isaiah is hitting me pretty hard! Isaiah 5:24, 25: “Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Therefore...Continue Reading...
“You Ask The Best Questionsâ€Â
One of the fun things about following the Lord is everything you get to learn! A walk with Christ is a learning experience right from the get go. That is one of the reasons it is fun to get olderâ€â€as you keep studying your Bible and other solid Christian literature, your faith continues to grow as you gain confidence in knowing that you have the right answer in the Biblical Jesus. I was speaking at...Continue Reading...
Today Is The Day!!
One of the things that it’s impossible to discuss enough in Christianity is forgiveness. When Paul instructed us to preach Christ crucified, it was because the sacrifice of Jesus Christâ€â€that perfect blood sacrificeâ€â€can redeem us of all our sins when we become born again. It is the greatest gift of all! Forgiveness is a beautiful thing! One of the more fascinating things I find as I talk with people is that they all really know...Continue Reading...
Hatred
I personally think there should be a lot more hatred in this world. Everyone keeps talking about tolerance and saying, ‘Let’s all get along,’ but I think a good dose of hatred would do everyone some good. Does that take you off guard? Well, I hope by the end of this newsletter that you have a lot of hatred. Luke 14: 25, 26: “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and...Continue Reading...
Jewish Riddle
As you know, I enjoy nothing more than talking to the lost. I just love the give and take and seeing where the conversations go. Isaiah 1:18: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.†One of the reasons it is exciting to have conversations with people is that...Continue Reading...
Still Thankful (2012)
1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.†One of the things we as believers must never forget is to be thankful in all circumstances. When God says ‘every’ or ‘all’, He means ‘every’ and ‘all’! Are you thankful that you have a job? Don’t forget many people don’t, and they would love to have the job that you currently have. But what...Continue Reading...
“It Is I; Be Not Afraid”
John 6:15-19 “When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind...Continue Reading...
