The Apostle John is one of my favorite New Testament figures. As you read, his gospel and the three epistles, you would have to say “What a man!” But, if we consider the earlier years of his walk with the LORD, we would discover that he was a man who struggled with self-centeredness. In Mark […]

“Learning the Potential of Prayer”
In James 5:17 we read Elijah was a man of prayer. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain for a total of three years and six months. Folks, when our hearts are right, God listens to us. But he […]
“Strange Weather – God Nudge?”
My brother from Ohio called me the other day because he had heard the weather reports for Southern California. He was amazed to hear about the possibility of snow in Los Angeles County. Then the other day my family decided to take in a movie. When we got off the exit for the movie theatre, I noticed a […]
“Dancing?”
I remember as a young boy going on vacation to western North Carolina to visit my great uncle who had a home in the mountains. He had sons my age and we enjoyed hanging out together and messing around the mountain community. Every once in a while, we would go into the nearby town (Franklin, North Carolina) […]

“Doing my Part!”
This week I was reading the book of Numbers. I came to chapter 4 and I read how God instructed Moses and Aaron regarding the various work that needed to be done by the members of the tribe of Levi. Remember the Levites were chosen by God to care for the tabernacle as they traveled through the […]
“Many, Most, and All”
Nestled in the pages of John’s Gospel are these words: John 12:37 (NLT) – “But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.” My first reaction is “Are you serious?” Sadly, John’s answer would affirm his written testimony. What a sad commentary on the people […]
“Crawling Out of Depression”
Psalm 143:4 (NLT) – “I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.” Have you ever had a time when you felt like you were losing all hope … and paralyzed with fear? I will admit it … I have had times like that in my life. King David felt that way as well. He goes on to […]
“Mountaintop Talks”
This morning I was reading in Luke 9 when Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. Beginning in verse 29, it tells the story of how Jesus’ appearance was transformed, and then suddenly two men appeared … Moses and Elijah … and talked with Jesus. I have read this passage […]
“Broken”
“I was in the Dollar Tree store last night and there was a lady and two kids behind me in a very LONG line. One was a little boy, a toddler it appeared, and the other boy was much older. The bigger boy had a pack of glow sticks and the toddler wanted one and […]
