A Tale Of Two Cultures
In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote the historical novel A Tale of Two Cities. A story centered around London England and Paris France before/during the French Revolution. It has been referred to as the best selling novel of all time (and certainly must be in the top 10, assuming it is even taught in schools these…

How Do I Know If You Trust Jesus?
The other day in my last blog post I talked about people at the George Floyd protests carrying No Justice No Peace signs (as those found here) and I mentioned how ridiculous I find that slogan. I also mentioned these people don’t know peace and that peace dependent upon justice is worthless peace. But I…

Are You Marching For George Floyd?
About four weeks ago no one in America (other than family and friends) had heard the name George Floyd. However, suddenly, after one senseless act, not only had the world heard the name of George Floyd, but he had suddenly become some type of martyr, a symbol, a cause to rally around. Cries of racism,…

What’s In Your Seed Bag?
The other day a friend remarked to me that sometimes he wished he had the audience of Joel Osteen. I asked Why? And he said that if he had the audience Joel Osteen has he knew exactly what he would say to them and the opportunity to reach so many lives must be a fantastic…

What is your cause?
Pastor’s are not supposed to have a “cause” other than preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was always taught that you preach TO the people not AT the people. Unfortunately, even preaching TO the people (or just being a prophet in your own time) is more often than not interpreted as preaching AT the…

Do You take Jesus with you?

Not really, I would not ask such a question. I’ll explain that in a minute. More to the point, what I’d like to discuss…

Who Are You?
We all want to be somebody. And we all want to be somebody special. We want to be somebody unique. We all want to know that we are the most unique human on the planet. Beyond our fingerprints, beyond our DNA, beyond our talents and our personalities, we want to be unique. And we want…

Plainly Spoken…
I’m certainly no theologian. But because of the “business” I’ve been in for several decades, it has been incumbent upon me be somewhat of a dilettante in it. I’ve attempted to explore some of the mysteries of the scriptures and understand the difficult passages there. It’s not the hard to understand or disputed passages that…

The LORD, My Keeper, Part II
The LORD, My Keeper Part II… So, what does HE know that uniquely qualifies Him to be my keeper? “My wrongs are not hidden from You.” Psalm 69:5,6 “All My desire is before You.” Psalm 38:9 “All my adversaries are before You” Psalm 69:19b “My times are in Your hands” Psalm 31:15 “You know the…

The LORD, My Keeper
Psalm 121:5-8 (NASB) 5 The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. 6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. 8 The Lord will guard your going out and…
