Whatever you can do well, be a good steward of that ability.

Recently I stepped out of my comfort zone to begin a podcast.

“I don’t read the Bible because it is too difficult to understand.” Have you ever heard that excuse? In today’s article I want to give you some reasons for this difficulty.

The Book of Proverbs places much focus on acquiring wisdom. In chapter 3:13 we read, “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.” (KJV)

We recently had a spring work day at our church property where some of our members came together to mow grass, trim bushes and generally get the grounds looking nicer.

The problems we face as a nation, as a diverse group of people, are not going to be solved by laws passed.

Silent Saturday. Friday was the Crucifixion and Sunday was the Resurrection, but Saturday was silent. The disciples and other believers were huddled together fearful for their life and their family.

My granddaughter received a couple of pet rabbits for her birthday earlier this year. In order to avoid any multiplication of these creatures, the family was assured that they were in possession of two males of the species. Therefore it was quite a surprise when newborn bunnies were recently discovered in the hutch – just in time for Easter.

Pne of the key philosophies of Marxists is to redefine history in a way that is designed to create a narrative that is conducive to their goals.

Like the grace of God lifts our spirit, finding the wildflower featured today brighten your spirit.

When I recently received by first dose of the COVID vaccine, I was also given a card testifying to that fact. I was told that I might want to keep it with me or even take a picture of it to have with me on my phone at all times because it’s possible I might be required to show it for entrance into certain places or to participate in particular activities.

When Jesus walked this earth His call to people was not “believe in me” but “follow me.” There is a difference.

Praise be to God! He causes the earth to bring forth food in so many forms. Some of those, like today’s wildflower are a pest when we try to have a “perfect” lawn but are beneficial far beyond our imagination.

Sometimes we find it difficult to trust the Lord to take care of matters in our lives.

Godliness simply means we reflect the characteristics of God in our daily lives.

At our feet is a carpet of wildflowers that proclaims the marvelous gifts of God’s creation.

Recently one of our young grandsons came over to our house to show us that he was learning to ride his bicycle without training wheels.

In my last series I hope that I explained clearly why I believe that the New Covenant instituted by Jesus is just that — new. It is not an extension of the Old Covenant.

The Creator has filled the earth with many, many wondrous flowers to remind us of His love for all mankind. Their beauty is spread about for all to see. The colors, shapes, and habitats seem endless. Some wildflowers are extravagantly abundant, while others, like today’s wildflower are confi…

Last week was, in my mind, going to be my last in a series on the change that took place at the cross; namely, Jesus fulfilled and thus nullified the Old Testament Law for church age believers.

Isaiah 45:3 reads “And I will give thee… hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Today we examine a wildflower that does not grow in this immediate area but is present in “secret places” in the mountains of N…

We have been looking at the subject of the proper place of the Old Testament in the life of the modern believer. We have argued, from the Scriptures themselves, that Christianity is not a “new and improved version” of Judaism; it is not Judaism 201. As such, we have shown, hopefully, that modern Christianity is not the mix and match religion that we have made it by following the rules of the early Christian Pharisees instead of the direction of the early Christian leaders in Acts 15.

Recently my wife was using our microwave oven when she noticed a little piece of plastic sticking up around the keypad. It turns out that it was one of those clear coverings used to protect a new appliance. When we first purchased and set up our microwave, we had evidently overlooked that protective piece of plastic and had failed to remove it.

When it comes to living for the Lord, we shouldn’t just be sticking our toes in the water to test it out or settle for cautiously wading in the shallow end – we ought to be diving in.

The Creator has put the seasons in order, even as He set the moon and stars in the heavens.

Last week I began a series of articles I hope will correct a long-standing misunderstanding among Christians today — namely that Christianity is a mixture of Old Testament Law and New Testament Grace. It is not.

Isaiah 40: 8 is especially appropriate for today’s wildflower. “The grass withers, the flower fadeth, but the Word of our God stands forever.” The blossom of this wildflower lasts but one day. On the other hand, the long tough root provides the nurture that causes new vines to produce beauti…

As we observe Valentine’s Day this weekend, are you looking for love? Or are you celebrating a love that you’ve already found? In either case, I would like to point you to the perfect person for the occasion.

In or around 33 A.D., the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead from a marked and heavily guarded tomb, according to the Jewish historian Josephus (he puts the guard at 40 Romans and 1,000 Temple guards), a new movement began.

Last Saturday I went over to our church building to transfer some music video files over to our church computer. These were a combination of contemporary praise songs and traditional hymns we would be using in our worship service the next day. 

You’ve probably heard about the piece of legislation Congress has been dealing with recently. It consists of an economic stimulus package of $1.9 trillion.

Rabbinic Judaism began its development during the Babylonian Captivity. Away from Jerusalem with no temple to offer sacrifices, the Jewish people began to develop ways around the direct requirements of the Law of Moses so that they could practice their religion.

The Christmas season is long passed, but the wildflower for today would definitely not be appropriate to feature at that time. Though the flowers are beautiful, the negative aspects make me feature it now since it may begin to blossom in February.

What do you do when everything seems hopeless? If you are a naturalistic humanist, nothing. 

Good Friday, nearly two millenniums ago, was not a good one for the name Judas. The disciple named Judas had aligned himself with the officials who sought to destroy Jesus. He had agreed to lead them to the Lord for 30 pieces of silver. After the crucifixion he returned the money and “went out and hanged himself” (Matthew 27:5).

As I listened to the tributes given to baseball legend Hank Aaron upon his recent death, I was reminded that I was privileged not just to know about him as a figure from the past but to have witnessed his exploits and to have been impacted by them.

There seems to be a lot of speculation regarding end times.
