Are you thinking about football, chips and salsa, beer, commercials and touchdowns? Not me. I woke up at 5 am and craved, but it was God's word that I looked forward to. Touchdowns are fun and commercials are interesting but nothing brings me more joy than learning about and writing about Jesus. So I read …

Raise The Standard!
Have you noticed the prevailing winds? That a deep feeling of dislike of average folks has hatched? I'm not speaking of calling Trump voters "deplorables." That was real, but it was more like a distraction or a slip of a forked tongue. What is happening is more insidious. It's been gradual, subtle, and calculated. Are …
A Wonderful World
What would it be like if nobody spoke evil of dignities (yes, I meant "dignities"; persons or things worthy of honor and respect); that there are politicians and leaders worthy of respect and honor.That we would conscientiously honor and obey them, and all that are put in authority under them; I mean showing all fidelity, …
I need to tell him this!
I recently overheard someone say to another, "He's gone religious on me," as if they had done a bad thing. I suppose this happens to many of us when we come to faith in Jesus Christ. We lose a few beer drinking friends and are talked about behind our backs. But getting the title "Religious" …
Sorrows, When God Brings Them
It is a hard thing to experience sorrow. But the Bible is pretty clear that sorrow affects us all. Among other things, conflicts, depressions, longings, and mornings can bring on sorrows and people are usually at the heart of our sorrows. Hardly has a zucchini caused us true sorrows. I suppose a spoiled crop or …
Are You Of The World
There was a time when I watched television and went to the movies. I enjoyed television cartoons, sitcoms, and even the news. Fantasy, futuristic, cowboy, and manly movies were cool too. This "entertainment" made me think or simply made me happy. I believe I first stopped watching TV after Happy Days, and I can say …
Weapons of Hope
This culture is weaponized to destroy our children, and it is systematically designed to do it. What weapons you ask? Consider or public schools, the media, political groups, liberal corporate entities. They all have their role in promoting abortion, homosexuality, racism, transgenderism, and the weakening of parental control. They promote, foul language, sexual innuendos, injustice, …
It’s Sunday Oct 24th, 2021
Have mercy, have mercy on me cried Bartimaeus the blind man as Jesus walked by. But some tried to keep the blind man quiet. Consequently he yelled even louder. Jesus finally heard him as he drew near and said to the others,"call him here!" Then Jesus asked the man, "what can I do for you?" …
We Should Hate Sin
First of all I must say that many Christians and many so called conservatives who don't know Jesus are equally enraged about "the worries of life." But no matter what conservatives think, it is important that Christians are not weighed down by the worlds recent descent into disillusionment. We know the ungodly regularly decend into …
“The Lord Our God Will Destroy Them.”
Oh Bob! I can hear the moans even before I write these words. "Aren't you being judgmental?" "God does not destroy people, people destroy people, God is good!" Well I say, turn with me to Psalm 94 and whence learn. This Psalm is both a prayer and a complaint. Unjust rulers, cruel oppressors, troublesome people …
