“ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FOUR-YEAR-OLD?”

“Jesus drew near and said to them, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.”(Matthew 28:18-20 GNT) After reading the story that...

TALK JESUS!

“While Peter and John were speaking to the people, some Jewish leaders came up to them. There were some priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and some Sadducees. They were upset because of what Peter and John were teaching the people. By telling people about Jesus, the apostles were teaching that people will rise from death. The Jewish leaders arrested Peter and John...

WHERE ‘R’ YOU GOING THIS MORNING?

I posted this a little after midnight, as soon as Saturday’s shift was over and it was Sunday’ turn to do a 24-hour shift. It’s Sunday and know that Sunday is not just another day, one of the seven days in the week. There is something very special about Sunday. It is the Lord’s Day. So, it is only proper that I pose the question to you, “Where ‘R’ you going this morning?” ‘R”...

DON’T YOU WANT TO GO TO THAT LAND?

One week ago, my wife and I had to fly back to Indianapolis from Baltimore, Maryland. We arrived at the BWI airport in plenty of time to check our luggage and head to the gate where we were to catch a plane to Charlotte, North Carolina and connect with a flight that would get us back home in Indianapolis, Indiana by 11:00 p.m. When we went to the designated gated, there was a posting, “Flight...

READING BETWEEN THE LINES

“Everyone around was in awe—all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met. They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful,...

BRAVO! YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!

“Now behold, one came and said to Him, ‘Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?’ So He said to him, ‘‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ He said to Him, ‘Which ones?’ Jesus said, ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You...

MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you.  I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NASB) Young Drew was riding his new bike up and down the block, staying on the sidewalk for safety. It was his first big boy bicycle, and he was enjoying every minute of his ride. Drew’s street was not a...

ENDINGS ARE JUST NEW BEGINNINGS!

“Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don't really end, anyway, they just begin again in a new way. Ends are not bad, and many ends aren't really an ending; some things are never-ending.” (Quote for C. JoyBell C on Goodreads) After pastoring a church from 1990 to 2025, the Lord let me know it was a time for me to pass...

THAT OTHER PART GOT ME!

When he came back to His disciples, He found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, ‘Can’t you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.’” (Matthew...

DO YOU THINK THAT GOD JUST BLESSES WOMEN?

“O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name! O my soul, bless God,    don’t forget a single blessing! He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal.    He renews your youth—you’re always...
