My father-in-law was a WWII veteran. He was drafted soon after he was married in 1942 and stationed in Germany. He often told people that on the coldest night of his life, he was on the back on a truck in Germany when he received news that his first child was born. What I don’t ever remember hearingContinue reading ““There’s Not Going To Be Any More Of That””

The Wonder Of Why
A group of atheists in north London have been creating some buzz lately by meeting for church—“atheist church,” as many are referring to it. I find it extremely interesting that people who don’t want to have God still find a need to have “church.” Is it a step-down program? Or maybe a step-up program? I suppose time will tell. InContinue reading “The Wonder Of Why”
The Walk Of Faith
10,000 steps—that’s what the medical community says we sedentary Americans need to do every day to maintain a healthy lifestyle. They recognize the difficulty most of us have in finding time to get to the gym or the health club two or three times a week. They’re telling us we don’t need to do that—we just needContinue reading “The Walk Of Faith”
The Power Of Faith
I wrote this post when Zig Ziglar passed away in 2012. For those of you who don’t recognize the name, he was probably the top motivational speaker of the 80’s and 90’s. Along with Dr. Robert Schuller (of Crystal Cathedral fame), Ziglar popularized the kind of thinking that Norman Vincent Peale had written about a generation earlierContinue reading “The Power Of Faith”
The Power Of Choice
It’s not about chance, but choice. Yet isn’t it true that all too often we find ourselves acting as if we really don’t have a choice? We are compelled by circumstances, overwhelmed by our past, or influenced by others into a certain course of thought or behavior. We really had no choice. The ability to choose is such a remarkable gift. To have the power to decideContinue reading “The Power Of Choice”
The Power Of An Example
I visited my mother recently. In the town where she lives, the city supplies the trash containers. You probably have them or have seen them. They are huge and tilt back on two wheels so they can be moved easily. The lid attaches to the handle so it can’t be lost. In my mother’s case though, the lid and handleContinue reading “The Power Of An Example”
The Passing Of Time
When you’re young, time seems to pass by torturously slow (think of when you were a child waiting for summer vacation, your birthday, Christmas, etc). It’s like being in a car that is driving parallel to a train with only a slight difference of speed between the two. You get to see a few differentContinue reading “The Passing Of Time”
The Need For Speed
Let’s go back in time to when the 4G phone first came out. There was a popular commercial that divided the world into two groups: the cool and the uncool. The cool had the uber fast phones and were therefore aware of everything that was going on, while the uncool were bumbling and stumbling their way through life becauseContinue reading “The Need For Speed”
The Unchained Word (3)
And how exactly does God’s word unchain us? Initially it does so by revealing to us the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection on behalf of all people. God opens our heart, as He did with Lydia (Acts 16:14), and like her, we are immersed to receive the forgiveness of our sins andContinue reading “The Unchained Word (3)”
The Unchained Word (2)
Not only did Paul know through the Scripture that God’s word could not be chained, he had also witnessed it in his life. In his travels throughout the Mediterranean world, he had seen the good news of Jesus transform the lives of countless people. In Ephesus, Athens, Corinth, Philippi, Rome, etc., he had seen peopleContinue reading “The Unchained Word (2)”
