Jesus tells us in Luke 14:26 “If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and his wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.” He was by no means saying to actually hate anyone. He taught the exact opposite inContinue reading “Purpose or Vanity…”

One or Ninety-nine?
Luke 15 begins by telling us that “all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, ‘this Man receives sinners and eats with them’” (Luke 15:1-2). As Christians, we read these words and often criticize the “religious” leaders for their terrible attitudes. AfterContinue reading “One or Ninety-nine?”
FAITH over FEAR
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.” “In these uncertain times…” How many times have we heard those words lately? Seems like every other commertial on T.V. or on the radio starts with that phrase. We can almost call itContinue reading “FAITH over FEAR”
A Single Grain

Jesus, heal my daddy’s arm…
I was probably about eight when my dad came home from work one day and mentioned to my mom he hurt something in his arm. I remember him saying it how sore it was and how he hoped it would be better by morning. My younger brother just simply asked him if he wanted himContinue reading “Jesus, heal my daddy’s arm…”
Going to Nineveh
I think most all of us have heard the story of Jonah and the big fish. Well, if you have spent any time as a child in Sunday school or VBS you have. The point of the story isn’t that Jonah was swallowed by the fish, but that he refused to live out God’s planContinue reading “Going to Nineveh”
