The Process of Mourning
Death, though unfortunate, is promised to all living things. However, for the believer who has surrendered their heart to Christ, death escorts that believer into the presence of the Lord. So, when losing someone, we who remain, should not ignore or discount our pain...
God’s Classroom

The Power of Forgiveness
It was the winter of 1973. Ten years had passed since my dad had passed away from a massive heart attack at forty-five. As a new Christian of two years, I was learning about the power of forgiveness, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your...
The Power of God’s Armor

The Apostle Paul was taken to the Roman city of Caesarea for a trial before the Roman governor, Felix. Paul’s crime was that for three months he had been speaking boldly in the synagogue concerning the things of the kingdom of God. Some who heard did not believe, so...
The Inerrancy of God’s Word
The Bible stands on its inerrancy (incapable of being wrong). Unfortunately, the inerrancy of God’s Word is under attack by many college professors, historians of ancient history, and laymen. Most who criticize the inerrancy (correctness) of God’s Word are either...

“Come sit with Me for a while.”
Years ago, my brother-in-law had two delightful fur-babies: Tucker, the effervescent and lovable Schnorkie (Schnauzer/Yorkie) and Ford, the curious and very cautious cat. During one of our visits, Ford and Tucker vied for time with me in the living room recliner....
