As the debate on CV-19 continues with cognitive dissonance while smoldering fires within our cities cast a dreary haze bespeckled with the glint of projectiles hurled by “peaceful protestors,” there is an acute awareness amongst the majority of our citizens that something is terribly wrong in America. Our nation has seen its fair share of crazy upheavals. We’ve had a civil war and have the T-shirt and statues to prove it. Now, there’s talk again of civil war. Despite that…..
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. It’s a special day of remembrance of our fathers, be they still with us here on planet earth or have been promoted to the next realm. The role of father is very important in the life of a child. Learning about the respect for authority, living a principle-centered life, and being responsible for one’s actions are common themes taught by a Dad. I was one of the lucky ones to be…..
As we recognize the immense heroism displayed 75 years ago on the beaches of Normandy, we are reminded of a quote from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” – John 15:13 Roughly 4,400 men paid that ultimate price on June 6th, 1944 to initiate the march of freeing the world from Nazi tyranny. My wife and I along with another couple recently visited that…..
How do you live the Christian life? How do you walk in the Spirit? There’s not a short answer to that, but we can address the critical concept that must be recognized. We can understand the procedure that gets us there. As the Gospel John tells us, “Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven” (John 3:3). Romans 10:9 states that “if you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart…..
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Often called the Golden Rule, it’s a quote from our Lord Jesus (Matt 7:12). Simple in concept, profound in purpose, balanced in justice, it is a universal maxim that members of every faith, be they those that believe in no god, one God, or many gods, can embrace. It is the accepted standard for human behavior and it forms the base of our divine triangle of love. We are to love…..
Our mission is to glorify God and loving thy neighbor is a primary way to honor God. How important is it for us to get along with one another? In God’s eyes it’s very important! For those of you who are parents, how would you like it if someone mistreated your children? Could you be friends with someone who did that? Wouldn’t your entire relationship be in jeopardy over that kind of action? Would not there be serious damage until…..
The Bible states, “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) It’s not just that God is loving which He certainly is, but love is the very nature and essence of God. We should pause for a moment and contemplate that incredible statement. Our Creator is love and we are created in His image, therefore we are designed to love. Of all the wonderful capabilities that we humans have–to think, to run, jump, and play, to feel…love is the premier attribute of…..
Here’s wishing a happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! So, what better day can there be to write about love? Especially God’s love—an amazing, unfathomable love. God is love; it’s part of His very nature. Each day of life we are blessed to experience we should remind ourselves of the first four words of the Bible, “In the beginning, God…” It all starts with Him. He is our heavenly Father. That gives us a proper perspective. Then, we can smile as…..
