This all important Election!
There has never been a more important time to vote. Our nation is in a downward spiral. We are losing our freedoms. I would encourage everyone eligible to pray and vote for Biblical principles. Look at the platforms and choose the best candidate. Our country was founded on Biblical principles and when God was taken…

Today, Have Purpose!
What does God say about having a purpose in our lives? According to Pastor Rick Warren’s book A Purpose-Driven Life, God created us for His own glory and to center our lives around Him. He created us for worship, fellowship, cultivating spiritual maturity, ministry—giving back to others—and witnessing. We all need a purpose in life,…

Today, The Verdict!
Yesterday’s verdict of guilty on 34 charges against Trump set me back for a few minutes. I wasn’t expecting it. I realized that God was not done with this case when I thought more about it. The Bible says we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Things are not always how they…

Today, The Lord’s Prophets!
The Book of Amos, chapter 3:7 says: “Indeed, the Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to His servants, the prophets.” This was true in the old days and is still true today. I have listened to some prophets (after discerning if they are true prophets) for the last few years. They are not prophesying…

More than most, I am somber this year on Memorial Day. I had been watching “Band of Brothers” on Netflix—the World War II story about paratroopers landing amidst heavy artillery fire close to the beaches of Normandy. My father was in the Navy in World War II, and my father-in-law was a Sergeant in the…

Today, Fear of Death?
The Bible tells us that there is a heaven and a hell. Hell was originally created for Satan and his fallen angels. However, we were given free will by God, and our choices became ours. For many years as a Christian, I feared death until I got to know God. When I read the scriptures…

Today, Phony People!
The Bible warns us to stay away from false prophets and false friends. In the Old Testament, Job’s friends accused him of wrongdoing instead of supporting him. In Psalm 41, David describes a frenemy as someone who acts like a friend but then gossips about you and speaks evil of you. A quote I read…

Today, I Can!
I watched another great movie, “I Can,” last night. I subscribed to the UP Faith & Family channel and am quite impressed with its offerings. This is the story of two adulterous adults who had an affair and got pregnant. Both leave their spouses and start their new lives together. Their daughter is born with…

Today, Loneliness!
Loneliness isn’t always a negative emotion. Sometimes, loneliness takes us to deep places in our hearts and souls. We need the time to reflect and ponder our lives, our thoughts, and our purpose. We can’t do that in a crowd. Jesus often left the disciples and went off by himself to pray and draw near…
