Majestic I want us to try as best as we can to grasp the incredible nature and power of God. Majestic is an adjective of the noun majesty defined as sovereignty, authority, power, dominion, supremacy, magnificence, splendor, awesomeness. The Psalmist is saying that the Lord’s name is majestic all over the world. How could he say that? […]
The last days We are in what is spoken of in scripture as the ’latter days’ or the ‘last days’. This is the period before Christ’s return. Satan and the Antichrist will be extremely active seeking to blind people from truth, even the Church. Paul, in his second letter to Timothy, warns of this. He […]
50% Off Bargaining hunting…is a pastime for some, even an addiction or religion of sorts for others. Nothing wrong with wanting a ‘good deal’ when you need something. There are those who move from one estate sale to the next. The ‘pro’ finds bargains and then resells for a profit. And then there are people […]
Hope As we approach Thanksgiving this year, I am sure that for many it has been difficult in many ways. God has not changed but our circumstances have. COVID, loss of jobs, even loved ones. Depression and elevated anxiety have been on the rise, maybe a sense of hopelessness. Where do I draw my strength […]
Testimony Witnesses…are people who have seen, heard or experienced something. Further, they may be called upon to share the information with another party, group or even in a courtroom.

They got him at six weeks old, and he has just celebrated his six-month birthday (with plenty of growing ahead). This hunting breed is prized for being incredibly intelligent, loyal to his family, and willing to […]
There are all kinds of surprises Surprises… can work out one or two ways. They can be a joyful and exciting event, or one that causes sadness, even shock. Think back, what has surprised you lately? Was it good or bad? How did it make you feel? Are you still enjoying the afterglow or are […]
Faith vs. works The age-old debate. Faith vs. works! “But someone will say, you have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works (Jas. 2 .18). We know we are saved by grace through faith alone, not of works. So, why the argument? […]
“Men don’t cry” For many men, weeping or crying is sissy. How many boys grew up hearing from their dads; “men don’t cry”. The damage from these words is overwhelmingly negative. Do you remember QB Colt McCoy in his postgame interview after he had been injured and could not play the majority of the National Championship? Texas lost to Alabama. Fighting through […]
Persecution Joseph’s own and older brothers had made it possible that he ended up being sold into slavery in Egypt. Not even Joseph could have imagined the enormity of his future. Except for some good promotions, he was mostly persecuted, at least for a period of time. Egypt and the known world were headed into […]
