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

Spotlight
Do you remember January 1st, 2016, the day when the page on your calendar turned to the New Year? Did you anticipate anything in particular happening this past year? Did any of what you expected to happen actually take place? In the past year, we saw the election of President-elect, Donald Trump; BREXIT; the Pope declaring that all people are God’s children who worship the same God and can be united by love, the canonizing...Continue Reading...
Go Fish
You may have seen this video recently as it has made the rounds on the internet in the last couple of weeks. I want you to listen and watch closely. Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with politics. It is a great learning opportunity for all of us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-3XbycyQrk&spfreload=10 There is nothing wrong with people having political or religious differences. The world is divided by politics and religion. Nothing wrong with...Continue Reading...
Get A Backbone
I was speaking at a men’s event in South Carolina recently. Whenever events like these pop up on my schedule, they are a great time of fellowship. They always give me the opportunity to encourage and challenge men to be men. 1 Corinthians 16:13,14: “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.†“Quit†in this verse means to act. God is...Continue Reading...
Very, Very Empty
A few weeks ago, I attended another one of my high school reunions. I always enjoy those events because they give me the chance to catch up with people again. I like to see how all of our lives are progressing and to get into some good conversations. At the hotel where the reunion was held, I had a conversation with one of the staff. As we were talking, we had a good discussion about...Continue Reading...
Pregnant People
I was reading an article the other day, and it really got me thinking. Here is an excerpt from it: "The British Medical Association has said pregnant women should not be called 'expectant mothers' as it could offend transgender people. "Instead, they should call them 'pregnant people' so as not to upset intersex and transgender men, the union has said. "The advice comes in an internal document to staff outlining a raft of common phrases...Continue Reading...
“Levinthians”
All I wanted to do the other day was go to Walmart—nothing more and nothing less. But I made the fatal error of Praying for B.O.B. (See the links in the P.S. below to hear this talk, Pray for B.O.B. which I give in churches around the country) at my front door before leaving my condo! Every time I cross the threshold after saying this prayer, something very fascinating happens. While I was in the...Continue Reading...
Feel the Bern!
When this video came out in June, it was all the rage. Everyone was talking about it. So let’s look at it once again. I want you to focus in on what Senator Bernie Sanders says, but don’t stop there; pay attention to the answers Russell Vought gives as well. Listen very closely to hear how he responds under fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMX3nHWht2k http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/06/socialist-bernie-sanders-screams-trump-nominee-christian-faith-video/ Or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMX3nHWht2k Horn News stated: “A sitting senator just acted in direct violation of...Continue Reading...
Lies, Lies, and More Lies
You may remember the Daniel Holtzclaw case that took place in Oklahoma City a few years ago. I remembered it vaguely as I was looking into this report. I do recall that his trial happened after the events of the Ferguson riots. What mostly stuck in my mind was his sentence of 263 years in prison! But if you are a police officer who takes advantage of women on your beat, a good long sentence...Continue Reading...
Liberals and Lucifer Want a Race War
We are living in amazing times. Things can change so rapidly, whether it is a hurricane or whether it is a protest. The media has been covering the story of some people who met in Charlottesville to protest the removing of a Confederate statue. The first question we should probably ask is, so what? Let them protest. Protest is good. We do not all think with total conformity in this world. It is okay for people to...Continue Reading...
“But I Will Trust In Theeâ€Â
I was reading a few articles recently that were talking about Christians being the most persecuted religious group in the world. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/01/06/christians-most-persecuted-group-in-world-for-second-year-study.html If the reports are correct, 90,000 Christians were killed for their beliefs last year, and over 600 million Christians were not allowed to practice their faith last year as well. Let’s be honest here: Those are some stunning numbers. Absolutely stunning. These statistics should be the lead story on every newscast around the...Continue Reading...
Hungry
I was reading this article, “Why Have Americans Stopped Reading the Bible?” and it really got my wheels spinning. http://www.christianweek.org/americans-stopped-reading-bible/ It began by saying, “According to the Center for Bible Engagement, 93% of Americans say they own a Bible but less than half of those who identify as Christians said they have read it cover to cover, and most Americans admit to never having opened one at all.” I thought that line was a joke....Continue Reading...
Privilege or Favor?
I was reading this article the other day and was just fascinated. You have to watch this video. It’s an amazing snapshot of what’s going on in the world today. Toward the end, the mayor lets a curse word fly. Again, this is how lost people think and speak. You already know that if you are sharing your faith along the highways and byways of life. I didn’t want any of us to miss...Continue Reading...
