I watch people today and listen to the commercials that bombard us about Christmas. It makes me weep inside because we have lost the meaning of the event that we celebrate! We have elevated things like presents, santa claus, parties, and so on above God

When our children were growing up we wanted them to follow our command. Not because we wanted them to be slaves, but because we wanted them to be protected and grow up to be adults. If we used the command for them to stop, it might be what saves their lif

When we hear someone say that someone has an attitude, or is copping an attitude it usually means that they want to do what they want to do, without listening to sound advice. In other words, they want to please themselves. If the word, attitude, is coupl

In this day, we find that the opposition to believers is great. They began and continue to pursue the defeat of the church. The church is the collective body of believers, saved by His grace. It is not those who attend church, but don't believe. There has

Have you ever felt that you could not conquer anything, or most anything in your life. It seems that life has a way of beating us down. We have more depression and feelings of inadequacy in our day than ever before. To overcome these things, we must dwell

When 9/11 happened, many people were shaken; when we heard about schools being terrorized by unstable students with guns and mass shootings, we were shaken; when hurricanes and tornadoes touch down, destroying homes and killing people, we are shaken. When

John wrote these things to believers. It could have been a cyclical letter to the seven churches to whom he was known. He was the brother of James, the sons of thunder. A fisherman who had labored on the sea of Galilee. John was overwhelmed by the Lord Je
