8:35

I was talking with a lady the other day about her strategy to lead others to Christ and she was adamant that she would not call herself a Christian or mention Jesus during the process of initially trying to convince a pre-believer to become a believer.

Texas awash in silver dollars 8:08

8:08

I’ve been studying the four Gospels as of late and have found it incredulous that the Jews would not accept Jesus as the Messiah. I just finished Josh McDowell’s book, More than a Carpenter. If you have not read it, you are truly missing out. It is a must read! Josh was an agonistic/atheist and was one of those of us who tried to disprove the Bible…

Easter 3:16

1M ago3:16

3:16

I thought about what Easter means to me. And invariably Christ’s face appeared in my mind. One should know that I have a Jesus image in my mind that has been cultivated over fifty some odd years. As I study it I am amazed. Now one (Jonhny-come-lately) version of the Jesus imprint has more recently been identified as Jesus who was wrapped in the lin…

One night my son and I and about fifty other people were invited to the Governor’s mansion for a reception with Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott.

I was praying yesterday, and asking God to forgive my mistakes of last year and to give me a quiet spirit of peace and determination to do better this year.

Holy Land 4:44

1M ago4:44

4:44

I visited Israel a couple of years ago and it was the most inspiring event of my life. Unlike here in the good old USA, people of all faiths in that country take God very seriously.

Poor 8:14

8:14

I was in Mexico City one time and had no idea how cold it gets there. It’s located at a higher altitude and at night it is freezing cold.

I looked down and was struck by her angelic beauty.…

Anxiety ensured 4:28

4:28

Bernard Levin once said: “Countries like ours are full of people who have all of the material comforts they desire, yet lead lives of quiet (and at times noisy) desperation, understanding nothing but the fact that there is a hole inside them and that however much food and drink they pour into it, however many motorcars and television sets they stuf…

I once lived next door to a guy who owned every kind of tool known to mankind.

We’re fast approaching the best and holiest time of the year and it has absolutely nothing to do with Easter Bunnies.

Narrow minded? 4:37

2M ago4:37

4:37

Christians are often accused by the world of being narrow minded and exclusionary. The reason for this is we believe that there is but one way to get to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. Why do we believe that? Because we think that we are better than everyone in the world? Because we think that we are holier than everyone else in the world?…

No Easter bunnies 22:15

22:15

A friend sent this to me the other day and it seemed to fit right in with the mood I’ve been in as I have been focusing on Jesus and His trip to the cross on our behalf. Easter is not about bunnies; it is about the broken body and blood Jesus shed on our behalves . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/no-easter-bunnies/…

God drawing away 8:30

2M ago8:30

8:30

Lately I feel as though I’ve lost my sense of direction. It is an unusual place for me to be; it seems as though God has withdrawn to a faraway place. Generally I set numerous goals in virtually every area of my life. I prioritize them, and work diligently to achieve them. But I just cannot seem to get on a track that feels comfortable. I cannot de…

Chatter box silenced 11:10

11:10

I have a friend who talks up a storm. Once you get him started, just sit back and get yourself a cup of coffee, kick off your shoes, and make yourself comfortable because you are going to be there for a “while”. If you ask him what time it is, he will tell you how to build a clock, a watch, (including wind up and battery operated), a sun dial, and …

Destiny 6:15

6:15

Through the years many people have expressed their viewpoint about Jesus Christ. Most scholars, historians, and major religions acknowledge the existence of Jesus. For someone who only lived for 33 years He sure made an impact on this world. Even our time is marked by His birth and death, BC/AD. The Muslims acknowledge that He was a prophet in thei…

Forgiveness 5:16

2M ago5:16

5:16

It is a well-known fact that it is easier to forgive than forget. As the old adage states: “Once burned, twice shy.” Often those who wrong us take the position that because we are Christians we must as part of our faith necessarily forgive them just as though the event never occurred. This sounds as though some arrogant punk who knows the Bible rev…
