Have A Miserable 40th Anniversary!

On January 22, 1973, the course of this nation was altered forever when the highest court in the land ruled it was constitutional (i.e., Roe v. Wade) to rip unborn babies from their mothers’ wombs, crush their bodies and throw them in the dumpster. (I’m certain that was not the exact wording in the court’s decision, but that was the result.)

Society says, “Conform and hush up!”

Earlier this week in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, a teacher was fired because he had answered a student’s question about the Bible and then gave the student (who said he did not have a Bible of his own) his personal copy of the New Testament. Can you believe what is happening in this nation? A teacher can tell a student that he came…

Does God see you dingy?

Have you looked at your car lately? Really looked at it? How does it compare now to when it was new? Look at the headlights–do they still sparkle in the sun, or are they dingy?

In good times and in bad, He’s there to care!

Have you ever been at a point in your life when you thought that the whole world was against you and that everyone had deserted you?  Perhaps you’ve experienced friends turning away from you and even family members distancing themselves, yet when your parents were alive, they were/are the steady and reliable foundation to whom you knew you could turn when there…

Spiritual Goal Setting

We set goals in so many parts of our lives—career goals, family goals, financial goals, health and fitness goals, educational goals, etc., etc.  Then, in most cases, we determine certain steps that we should take in order to reach those goals.  Would it not, then, be prudent to have spiritual goals for our lives and determine steps by which to reach them?…
