Does God speak to us? “Speaking” may be done in many different fashions, don’t you think? Here is what the scriptures say about how God and His creation communicate. Continue reading
What is Truth?
What is truth? Is there absolute truth? Our society today tends to say there is no absolute truth; all is relative. But we see natural laws in operation and they are absolute, so there must be absolute truth, wouldn’t you say? Continue reading
Resurrection Day!
Today is Resurrection Day!
I really don’t like calling it Easter, since that is the name of a pagan holiday. The church adopted it later.
And so, I call it Resurrection Day. It is a commemoration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead and guaranteed our resurrection too!
Happy Resurrection Day to you!
Thoughts on Psalm 23
The 23rd Psalm is probably THE best known of all the Psalms in the Bible. It has become a prayer to me, one I pray out loud regularly. As I have prayed it, God gives me insight on how those words relate to my life personally. Today I would like to share them with you…

He wants to be your audience. He wants to be the One you concern yourself with pleasing. Everything else will fall into place after that. Oh yeh, you will make people mad when you take this stance. But it’s important. Continue reading

A Thought…a Prayer
Something came to me today….I haven’t made a resolution for the New Year yet. I have one now. Instead of saying “I” so much, I’m going to start always saying “we.” Because no matter what, it’s never just “I” anyway. It’s Jesus and me, so that’s a “we!” Continue reading

Are my Words Really That Important?
I guess not, if you don’t care what happens in your life.
First, I’d like to lay out the basis for the argument that our words DO matter. Jesus said they matter and that we would be judged for every idle word we speak. I do not think that was just an ‘idle” threat. (te he!) Matthew 12:36 There are various interpretations about what constitutes “idle” words, but for now, I am not going to discuss that.
