If God is for us, who can be against us"
-Romans 8:31Read more

This book is simple yet profound. It absolutely speaks the "truth" regarding what our focus as Followers of Jesus should be. Of course that focus is so much more than just going to church, or it should be. Unfortunately we all are vunerable to becoming "churched" and losing sight of our call.Read more

Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.
-Colossians 4:12

Do you have an Epaphras in your life? We all could use the kind of devotion and fealty in a friend such as Epaphras. The word says that "he is always wrestling in prayer for you". Isn't that great? Read more

Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing."
-Genesis 19:6-7

I wonder just how horrified Lot must have been to see every man in town surrounding his house, demanding that he relinquish to them his guests, two angels, so that they could have their way with them. The Bible says that every man was there, both young and old.Read more

Apparently, the county of San Diego gets to tell people what they can do in the privacy of their own home.

It is the strangest thing: Lately, I have been put on the spot about the Bible quite a bit from various people. Sure, it happens to all of us from time to time, but for me, more than usual.

I can not adequately describe how this makes me feel. It angers and disgusts me that people use my Savior's name to inflict such base atrocity on others; more especially children.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
-James 1:2-3

My son walks to school. He walks 2.5 miles to school...each way. When he first started, it was not uncommon to hear him complain about tired and sore legs after he got home. It is quite a distance and he was not all that happy to do it. Unfortunately, our particular family circumstances required it.Read more

Honor your mother.

... "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
-Luke 5:12

I absolulely love the book of Luke. There is just something about it that speaks to my spirit. I love the way it flows; the way it addresses the supernatural; the way it tells the story that has given us new life.

As I was looking through Luke today, I happened upon the scripture above. The phrase says so much.Read more
