I Am Going To Die!
I'm going to die! I am 100% certain of it - and no doctor can tell me otherwise, nor can they prevent this from happening. No, I don't have COVID-19. No, I've not been diagnosed with cancer or some other dread disease. But Scripture is clear: "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to … Continue reading I Am Going To Die!
Apologetics and the Christian Faith
Apologetics: A word that is often misunderstood. It does not in any way point to sorrow or grief or an "apology". Apologetics is the defense of a belief or system. When we, as Christians, fulfill the command of 2 Timothy 4:2 to "be ready in season and out to give reason for the hope … Continue reading Apologetics and the Christian Faith
2018—>2019?
What's in a date change? Beyond some business and personal fiscal year change (particularly tax year) stuff - the change from one year to the next is little more than the turn of a page on a calendar (or the putting up of a new calendar). Yet we have made the year change into something … Continue reading 2018—>2019?

We had a fabulous … Continue reading Glorious Day, Yet Grieving…
God's Not Dead 2, An Early Review
We just got home from an advanced screening of God's Not Dead 2 in Little Rock, Arkansas. I will say right off the bat that this one is a better overall film than the original, an odd and somewhat surprising departure from the usual pattern of sequels often coming up short of the original. That … Continue reading God's Not Dead 2, An Early Review
What IS The Gospel?
We hear a lot in this nation the term "Gospel". Those of us in ministry focus a great deal on the term - yet so many have such a limited understanding of what the Gospel REALLY is.The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:16 "it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, … Continue reading What IS The Gospel?
War Room – A Film on the Power of Prayer

Other movies form this line include Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous. This film, like some of the previous films … Continue reading War Room – A Film on the Power of Prayer
Please, NO SNOW… Thank you LORD for the Snow!
If you are scratching your head at the title of this post, don't let it bother you. Just let me explain. I am ready for Spring! I am not alone in this sentiment by a long-shot. Just a month ago, my father began getting his boat and fishing gear ready, bringing up discussions on tactics … Continue reading Please, NO SNOW… Thank you LORD for the Snow!
