I love the fact that we still have a lot of agricultural land in Ventura County. I grew up on a farm in Western Canada. If we planted wheat, and the elements cooperated, we would eventually reap wheat. The same was true with barley, oats, and flax. The Apostle Paul in Galatians 6:7-10 NLT wrote, “Don’t be […]

“God’s Forgiveness”
In Luke 23:26-43 (NLT) we read about the crucifixion of our Wonderful Lord. Jesus was crucified between two thieves. His enemies wanted to make Him look like a common criminal and beginning with verse 39 we read: “One of the criminals hanging beside Him scoffed, ‘So You’re the Messiah, are You? Prove it by saving Yourself—and us, too, while […]
“Letters and Fragrances”
From time to time over the years, I have had people ask if I would write a letter of reference for them. Maybe they were applying for a job, purchasing a home, or seeking a loan. Whoever they were dealing with wanted assurance from a reliable source, so the party would come to me for […]
“Meeting Together”
In this meditation, I want you to explore with me what the writer of Hebrews 10:22-25 (NKJV) has to say. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of […]
“Freedom”
Let’s take a moment and reflect on this past 4th of July and keep the cause for celebration fresh in our hearts and minds. July 4th commemorates the day in 1776 that our nation declared itself to be an independent nation, and no longer a colony of England. On that date, a number of our leading […]
“You Can Count on God’s Protection”
It is hard for me to understand that there are some Christians who do not believe in spiritual warfare. In Ephesians 6:10-12 (NLT) we read, “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of […]
“Divine Guidance”
All of us face decisions of many kinds and we need wisdom to make the right choices. God promises us the wisdom we need. In James 1:5 (NKJV) we read, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” […]
“Despair and Hopelessness”
We live in a rapidly changing world. Leaders are trying to lead us into socialism even though we can look at many countries that have gone that route, and today they are controlled by dictators, the people have few rights and are suffering many hardships. The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 3:13-17 (NKJV) wrote, “And […]
“Memorial Day”
This year Memorial Day was Monday, May 29th. It is far more than a day off from work. It is a time when we remember those men and women in our military who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We are a free people in the United States today because people fought and died […]
“The Clear Plan of Salvation from Romans”
Christians become rooted and established by the truth in God’s Word. The Apostle Paul knew that, and that is why he wrote the book of Romans — to explain the truth of God’s plan of salvation. I believe he also wrote it so that we would share its clear message with those who are not […]
