Now, That’s an Author!
An interesting comment that I have heard from people over the years is, “I have never met an author before.” As I have contemplated that statement, the same is true for me as well. I have not met many authors. However, when I did some conference speaking in the past, most of the other speakers had written a book or two. But, as I go through life, I don’t meet many authors, unless maybe they are a...Continue Reading...
Whoring Around
As I am reading my Bible front to back again this year, a certain word is standing out to me again. I am running across various words that really carry some power. Some of those words you want to be called and others you would not, but the word that is catching my attention is powerful enough that you don’t forget it. Exodus 34:14-16 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name...Continue Reading...
Choosing the Chosen
“The Chosen’s director, co-writer, and chief publicist, Dallas Jenkins, has gone on record stating that the Mormon Jesus is the same as the Bible’s Jesus. In an interview Jenkins did in May of 2020 on a Mormon program, he stated: ‘I can honestly say . . . one of the top three most fascinating and beautiful things about this project has been my growing brother and sisterhood with people of the LDS community that I never would...Continue Reading...
The Pope vs. Mary
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth...Continue Reading...
Riddle Me This
The son of a coffee shop owner had a worried look on his face. He was also wearing a really dirty shirt! I asked him what was going on. He told me that he had lost his key fob! That didn’t sound like fun. He was actually listening to his professor’s lecture online, instead of being at class, because he couldn’t find it! Not a good way to head into finals week! He pulled out...Continue Reading...
God’s Design for Society
I was doing some thinking the other day. Are you like me? Does thinking things through seem to get you in trouble?! We had Mother’s Day recently, so ladies have been on our minds. And biblical ladies should always be on our minds! Duking It Out A friend of the ministry sent me a link to an article about Katie Taylor. I noticed that she had “Psalm 18” written across the back of her...Continue Reading...
I Already Know
Do you ever seem to know what someone is going to ask before they actually ask you? When you talk to enough people, sometimes you can make some pretty good guesses about the direction a conversation will go in. But have, you ever known what their first question will be before it even leaves their lips? That happened to me, and it led to a fascinating give and take. One thing I like to do...Continue Reading...
Tracts, Friends, and Gratefulness
Now, here is a great picture! There is a lot more going on in it than you might realize. The person sitting next to me is Gelmut. He is from Ukraine. How did I come to know Gelmut? When I was speaking in Panama City Beach about fifteen years ago and was in a parking lot looking for a place to eat, I noticed two teenaged guys, kind of cutting through the cars. So, I...Continue Reading...
“Watch God Behave”
Time to do some thinking again. This time, I want you to watch a short video of Dave Ramsey. Most of you probably know who he is. He is a He is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host who gives financial advice. He doesn’t want people in debt, and if they are, he wants them out of debt. Some of you may have participated in one of his financial classes at your church. Remember,...Continue Reading...
I Don’t Need that Kind of Stress
Locking antlers with another human being can be fun sometimes. As long as two Type-A males don’t get too serious, it can lead to an interesting time. I was going to buy coffee for the guy in line behind me. He didn’t seem real interested in that! Sometimes, people can’t take a blessing, and sometimes, they can. Some people are so guarded that they can’t accept a gesture of good will. They take “providing for...Continue Reading...
I Am Positive That You Need Jesus
Christians belong where the lost are. We need to mingle amongst them — not so they will impact us, but so that we can impact them. Since the Bible is true and the tomb is empty, we need to talk to the lost about these truths. How will people ever get saved unless someone takes their beautiful feet and brings the gospel to them? Body Positivity Movement Lizzo decided to come to town. https://www.livenationentertainment.com/2022/04/lizzo-announces-the-special-tour/ I didn’t know much about...Continue Reading...
A Present on a Tree
As you know, I love to think. God gave us these brains, so we might as well use them while we are down here! When I’m challenged by new information, I sit back, take it in, think about it, and let my wheels start turning. A Christmas Letter A friend of the ministry, Steve, sent me an email that got me thinking. I don’t mind when someone speaks their mind clearly and directly. Usually, it...Continue Reading...
