Okay, I missed the boat on my predictions…

Last January I made three political predictions: 1. I predict that Barack Obama will not be the next president of the United States. 2. I predict that the next president of the United States will not be a Republican. 3. I predict that the Republican nominee will not be a… Listen ⇢
A thirst for the exotic

I’ll admit it, I have a thirst for the exotic, at least when it comes to spiritual things. I’ve always had an inquisitive mind. Now, I have a very thirsty spirit. I was greatly intrigued when friends and acquaintances began to talk about the "Lakeland Outpouring." I’ve lived through a… Listen ⇢
Living up to your promises…

Jesus said: "Do not make any vows…" Let your yes, be a simple yes, and your no a simple no. I don’t know about you, but with an election just a couple of weeks a way I am up to my neck in political promises. Having lived through a few… Listen ⇢

Letting go of anger

Following Jesus means letting go of anger. Jesus agreed that murderers are subject to judgment, but he went beyond the letter of the law to explain its spirit. Road rage is not an option for the follower of Jesus! Cursing others or calling them idiots is motivated from the same… Listen ⇢
The second commandment of Jesus…

"Let your good deeds shine out for all to see…" This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, I sang in the "Cradle Roll" room. Dressed in my Sunday best along with the other toddlers I was singing… Listen ⇢
The first commandment of Jesus…

The first commandment of Jesus was not written on tablets of stone and handed down on a mountaintop. It was a simple invitation to fishermen engaged in their occupation. It is the same invitation he makes to each of us today. "Come, follow me…" if we want to know what… Listen ⇢
