I heard from God…Whooptie-do!

June 13, 2008

I was reading my lessons this evening. I was reading about the Law given to Moses on Mount Sinai. God instructs the people to come near the mountain and the people reply in a very telling way as far as understanding the holiness and power of God. Power that even in just hearing His voice […]

The Bentley Bandwagon

June 12, 2008

Well I have finally decided to get on board. I am now on the Todd Bentley Bandwagon. All across Christendom blogging and radio there has been an explosion of information about Todd Bentley and the Lakeland Revival. My feeling is he is somewhere between Nutter Butter and False Prophet. Watching the video’s makes me one part laugh […]

A Time for Prayer

May 24, 2008

I have a heart for ministers. I am a minister and I am sure that helps. But I have a deep heart for them. This is especially true when on top of the stress and strife of ministry there is personal pain. I have been following this blog by John Dobbs for a year now […]

Christianity and Government: Responsibilites of Citizenship

April 25, 2008

Here is the final one in which the responsibilites of the Citizens are discussed. There are duties that the Christian and any citizen for that matter can generally view and apply as they live at peace with the government. Ronald Regan said, “Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. […]

Christianity and Government: Duties of Government

April 25, 2008

Here is the second part of this sermon series. Hope it again adds to your understanding of what the Bible teaches us about the duties of government and our relationship to them. Please see the first sermon in this series for the links to those resources that greatly helped in this series. JOK.: The Lord spoke […]

Christianity and Government: Issue of Authority

April 25, 2008

Since this has been an heated election year and the focus on government has never been more pointed I thought I would post a sermon series I put together on what it means to be a Christian in this day and age and our relation to government. I enjoyed writing this sermon and so I […]

Piper on Fruit

April 25, 2008

I thought John Piper said this very well. It was a short blog but a great reminder for those who think they are not making a difference in the world when compared to those who are seeing success. Success is best seen in the weak who show God’s glory. When God Does Not Use Bigness

Text Message Bible

March 24, 2008

Found this on Tominthbox. This blog is often filled with satire and I like it. This one caught my eye as one to pass on (tx bbl).  I have often thought that perhaps in distant future we might have a word system that is similar to text messaging words b/c of its simplicity and time […]

Lessons from a Dwarf Hotot

February 13, 2008

   Recently a friend of mine offered us a Dwarf Hotot. At first we were reluctant but as time went on we finally gave in and let him give us one for our daughter. He promised that it would build character in her with the responsibility. I was doubtful as to how much character it […]

Everybody’s Somebody’s EGP

February 11, 2008

We have all probably heard the expression. “Oh, that person is a EGP…” Now some call them EGP or others EGR. It either means Extra Grace Person or Extra Grace Required. And you know that there are those who for whatever reason get to us. They are overbearing, snippy, clumsy, anal, disorganized, rude, too happy, […]
