“Learn to do good, to be fair, and to help the poor, the fatherless, and widows.” (Isaiah 1:17 The Living Bible) You who know me or if you have become familiar first-hand with my early escapades in truancy during my first 6 weeks of high school, and maybe longer, you probably are thinking, “Who is he to tell somebody or anybody, “Don’t miss class!”  Have mercy and put that...

“And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.”  (Matthew 16:18 Good News Bible) Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams,” and the unforgettable line, communicated from some unseen source, “If you build it, they will come,” in reference to building a baseball field in the middle of...

“I know ]your deeds and your toil, and your patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested and critically appraised those who call themselves apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives, of Christ), and   are not, and have found them to be liars and impostors; and   you   are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My...
