We can be thankful that God provides direction for our lives and the strength to carry out what He has called - you might have an expiration date, a term, in which to complete a mission.  Or, it could be a call with an indefinite end.  And, it may be clear that the time has come to stop.  We can depend on the Lord to empower us until that time comes.  The Bible says in 1st Thessalonians 5:23 Now m...  Read More

Through our daily desire to be obedient to Jesus Christ, we can make decisions that reflect His will and advance the Kingdom of God or take action that do not contribute to our personal growth or contribute to God's overall plan.  We have to come before the Lord in prayer daily and allow Him to guide our steps.  That goes for the seemingly small choices day by day, which cumulatively contribute to...  Read More

Sometimes there are causes for which we speak out boldly, sometimes we create causes that we have no business talking about.  We have to determine, as it's been said, "the hill to die on."   We have to allow the Lord to show us what is important and how best to leverage our spiritual energy in order to make an impact in this world.  And, we have to avoid distractions.  Before the 31st chapter of P...  Read More

The Lord has directed us to go into all the world, to speak truth, make disciples, and baptized.  That may be across the street or around the world, as it's been said.  And, God will give specific direction as to how we are to personally carry that out - and He's given us the power of the Holy Spirit to enable us to obey.  As we have heard the Word, we're called to be doers.   1st Peter chapter 3 ...  Read More

Several years ago, three men - Tony Perkins of Family Research Council, Jim Garlow of Well Versed, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson - teamed up to organize a February gathering that was devoted to just one thing: prayer.  As The Washington Stand reported: On February 4, 2026, hundreds of voices rose in unison right in the beating heart of Washington, D.C. — not in anger, not in protest, but i...  Read More

We can be convinced that God loves us and always has our best in mind - and the best thing that any human being can do is to give his or her life to Jesus Christ.  The Bible teaches us that, in accordance with His purpose, and motivated by His love, God is working everything for our good, which is His good, His perfect plan for us.  Here's a passage of Scripture from Romans 8 (ESV), that contains ...  Read More

God's Word WILL change us.  Plain and simple.  Within the pages of the Scripture, we can find the truth about who God is, His love for us, and what He wants to do in and through us. We learn about what Jesus has done for us.  And, we find a power that is not our own, not of this world, that enables us to navigate this world and hold faithful to the Lord.  I'm thinking about 2nd Peter chapter 1 (ES...  Read More

We can recognize that Bible prophecy is pointing to a coming time in which the Church will be taken away, and the Antichrist will be revealed.  A time of great Tribulation will unfold upon the earth.  And, Israel, as I like to say, is a barometer of what will be taking place.  Israel has been at the center of turmoil since it was established, or really re-establish as a formal, official nation in ...  Read More

One of the hideous trends in our culture today is the denial of one's own identity, either willfully or ignorantly, which is an affront to accepting who God created a person to be. Under the guise of so-called "gender identity," people are asked to deny truth and to subtly embrace and even endorse this form of false compassion and virtue signal.  It's not compassionate to perpetuate a lie.  The Bi...  Read More

Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve gave in to Satan's temptation, the world has been in a fallen state.  But, as Isaiah tells us, the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.  Even though the world as we know it is under sin's power, Jesus came to redeem the human heart and in so doing, empowered Christian believers to take authority over the devil and walk in sp...  Read More

Last year, a church in Flagler Beach, Florida, bought a former furniture store building in a strip mall in order to use it for worship services, according to The Christian Post.  Except for the space owned by the church, a company called Flagler Beach-Jax owns all the other spaces, also referred to as "condominiums."  The article noted: The covenants that control the property state that, “All prov...  Read More

While I spend quite a bit of time on social media to keep listeners informed and challenge them to apply a Biblical worldview to a variety of current events, I also notice there are pitfalls.  Take, for instance, a phenomenon that I see regularly on Facebook: a post will appear from what appears to be a credible-looking source, with a link to an article "in the comments."  Alas, I find a link to s...  Read More
