Sin Has A Long Reach
Sin is not the number one topic we go to in conversations. As Followers of Christ, we know we are sinners, but we sure don’t want to talk about it. We don’t want sin to be our identity. Actually, sin is not our identity but Christ is. However, if we tell others about our sin,…

Life Behind Me, But More To Come!
As I write this, I’m at the age where I have more life lived behind me than life to be lived before me. If you are where I am, you may understand when I say, “It’s a weird place to be!” Sometimes, I feel like I’m in no man’s land without a job or…

An Idea Is Forming
The lightbulb goes on over my head as I look into the cupboards in my basement. On multiple shelves, I see many notebooks which contain Bible Studies I’ve written.

Teaching What is Good!
This week, I had the privilege of visiting one of our church family shut-ins. I wanted to be able to give her some hope and pray with her. She has a hard time keeping her head up, so I got down on the floor to speak to her. As she spoke with me, I knew…

A Question to Consider!
Why am I here? Is this a question you’ve ever asked yourself? As a follower of Christ, we know the answer is “to bring God glory.” That is a correct answer, but there are times when we may be wondering how in the world that is happening! No one wants to admit to having doubtful…

Radical Jesus!
Was Jesus radical? We need to start by defining radical. According to dicionary.com, radical means extreme, especially as regards change from accepted or traditional forms. As we consider this definition, I believe we can say that Jesus was radical. Here are some examples from the Scriptures: “And Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him,…

Is the Practice of One Anothers Worth It?
If you are a follower of Christ, you are aware of the many “one another” passages that are in the Scriptures. If not, just do a google search, and you will find every one of them listed for you. When we really take the time to read over these passages, we will see how hard…
