It is December first, and the countdown to Christmas has begun. In twenty-five days, people around the world will be celebrating something. They will prepare for this day with food and gifts shared with family and friends. Many will not even think about what this day represents. Those who know Jesus as their Savior will...
Without faith it is impossible to please GOD. Hebrews 11:6 The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17 Our desire is to please God so how can we increase our faith? Do we pray more often, longer, louder, memorize more Scriptures, attend more Bible studies and Church services? Although all these things are fine, however...
One of the many things that I love about being a dad is when I make good on a promise to my children, the look on their faces, the outward expression of joy it brings them, and to be honest, it does not have to be a huge thing, it can be something as small...

It doesn’t take much effort to see our world is eroding all around us. By simply turning on the TV, radio, or going online, we are constantly bombarded with negative news. We may even experience some of them personally when we’re out and about in our communities. It’s gotten to the point where I ask myself,...
Eighteen years later, I sat at a traffic light at the exit of 295. This was not my normal exit. I had taken it due to a traffic jam. As my eyes settled on the building across the street, I asked why today? This building reminded me of a time I would rather forget. I...
Thanksgiving Day is coming up soon, however I have noticed that most stores go from Halloween to so called Christmas and skip Thanksgiving. Their so called Christmas decorations exclude Jesus.
