God is faithful. Take that to the bank. Dial that in and rip the knob off. It’s not up for grabs, there’s no time or place or situation when this is not absolutely true: God is faithful. Period. End of story. Do you realize what saying that means? It follows that there must be times [...]

Would you let me tell you about something? I’ve finished the tween book series. Thanks. I know you just said, “Congratulations,” but seriously, this is a wonderful thing for me because I’ve been teaching tweens this stuff for years and I wanted to get it written down. It’s also a wonderful thing for you and [...]

Howdy. I’d like to ask you a question. Actually, 3 questions. 1. If your decisions are not limited by your parents’ decisions, what else would you pick? Your vast personal knowledge? 2. If the United States government is not limited by the Constitution, what other guideline is available? The imaginings of politicians? 3. If what [...]

Hey there, I was looking at a map of the Tabernacle and saw the gospel. How ’bout that? What’s the Tabernacle you say? It’s the Tent of Meeting. The Israelites carried it with them as they traveled in the desert between Egypt and the Promised Land. This Tabernacle is where the presence of God lived [...]

So the question is, if I do whatever God wants me to do — get saved, give him my time or my treasure or my talent, go wherever he may send me — will he keep me safe? We want to know. We don’t want to be unsafe. It’s kind of dumb to wish that [...]

I’ve asked the question a lot. Looking up into the night sky, we see those beautiful stars and wonder “why” they’re winking at us. Fine question. But here, it gets ugly. “Why” and “how” are really 2 different words, aren’t they? So “why” do we get them confused? It’s because we live in an age [...]

When God came to earth as a baby, he didn’t come to give us another choice. He was not becoming a new flavor of sherbet in the ice cream parlor of life. Stick with me. God said to Abraham, I won’t burn Sodom and Gomorrah up if there are 10 good people in it. As [...]

Tuesday night, a bunch of my friends gathered around a campfire in the woods behind our house and we just talked and read the Bible and prayed. One guy asked the question, “Why is life so hard?” We all LAUGHED. Does this seem strange? It doesn’t to me. There are lots of reasons… 1. Life [...]

I know. Christians are intolerant, according to the secular humanists that dominate the information distribution of our world. We don’t allow anyone to disagree with us. We Christians are hateful, ignorant and dangerous, they say. Two things. One. There’s never been a tolerant society except the ones founded on Judeo/Christian principles. Jesus is the one [...]

I dreamed the other night that I was climbing huge concrete structures with just my bare hands, hanging on and swinging around way up in the air, and not the least bit afraid. Someone called up and asked, “How do you do it?!” And I yelled back down, “Attitude!” Odd. What do you suppose the [...]
