“Wine is a mocker, intoxicating drink a brawler, and whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.” (Proverbs 20: NASB) Now before anyone reading this perchance, is ready to skip it not believing that all Scripture is profitable. Keep readying.  You watch all the commercials about the various beers, wines, and liquors.  So, keep reading. Most states in the United State do not have liquor laws,...

“One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them.” (Luke 18:15a NLT) In a conversation with my oldest daughter last night, I was telling her if we decided to start a family business, we have a great staff.  I elaborated further.  While I would serve as the retired Chairman of the Board and my wife would take on the role of Chief...

“Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!  He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams.  He gives me new strength.  He helps me do what honors him the most.  Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.  You provide delicious food for me in the presence...

“ALMOST” IS NOT ENOUGH

“So, I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above.” (Philippians 3:14 Good News Translation) Almost is not enough.  Two and four-fifths is almost three.  If three is the goal, almost is not enough.  Almost having enough saved to purchase something you desire, being just a couple of coins short of the sale...

“But the Lord God called out to the man, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9 GNT) In the opening verse, God called out to the man, Adam.  I’m calling out to all men and women who have a car.  My question: ‘Where was your car this morning?’  Was it one of the vehicles that took advantage of the retail stores opening up early so you could benefit from the advertised sales and...

“And the lord said unto the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.'” (Luke 14:23 KJV) The Merriam-Webster dictionary says to compel is to cause a person to give in, to pressure.

“As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”  So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).  But soon a fierce storm came up.  High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.  Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion.  The...
