Faith is essential to the Christian life. And since you might be snowed in or simply enjoying a leisurely moment, I decided to drop you some words and thoughts on the subject. This is actually an installment from a sermon series I did entitled, “Real Faith.” “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For…

Every year the news includes some very disheartening, stories. It almost seems ages ago that we were reading about the riots in Ferguson, the missing plane from Malaysia Airlines, and violence in Iraq. And who can forget the Ebola Epidemic. Later, Ferguson got replaced by Baltimore and Iraq got replaced by violence in Chicago. As usual, some people blame God for all…
People are always looking to find their identity in someone or something. They sometimes try to accomplish this by declaring themselves to be something that, perhaps, they are not. Certainly there is a sense in which self-declaration can be a motivator. Let’s face it. You won’t get very far in life by declaring yourself to be a Loser. In fact, when you…
Ok so Thanksgiving is past. However, thanksgiving should go on 365 days a year. Of course, I am referring to the holiday vs. giving thanks to God. The truth of the matter is, to know the salvation that comes only through knowing Christ is cause for thanksgiving. Nonetheless, if you have not come to discover the true treasure of knowing Christ, you…
I think that one of the blessings of social media is the ability to make connections. Some relationships have been long lost but social media allows those connections to be re-established. It can allow for old friendships to be rekindled. Additionally, it can give people the ability to make new connections. All of these are good things and I have no problem…
We should never underestimate the importance and impact of worship. It is one of two major things that we will continue to do in heaven (the second being to praise our God). When David danced before the Ark as it was being brought into the city, it was a dance of worship. And the people did worship indeed, singing, “Sing to Him,…
Do you really need me to tell you just how important water is? I think not. The human Brain is 95% water, Blood is 82% and Lungs 90%. Without it, we would die. Have you been exposed to the Living Water that only comes through Christ? Have you drank of this life-giving water? Living Water = New Birth, Salvation. If you have…
Request #3. GIVE ME! John 4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.” Was she testing Jesus? Or was she genuinely curious? Judging from her formal address (“Sir…”) her curious desire seems genuine. At any rate, just like any other red blooded person, she…
Do you really need me to tell you just how important water is to your body? I think not. Water makes up more than two thirds of human body weight. (Then why do weight loss programs tell you drink lots of it?) The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in…
Without the element of Jesus Christ, the Resurrection Sunday means nothing and all existence is vain. If you want to make good lasagna, you need the right elements. I’ve had bad lasagna before. Thought I’d die. Something was missing from the recipe. I had to force a swallow. The truth is, if you are going to make it right, you need the…
