Easy-Peasy
I've been a Christian for some 60+ years. Perhaps I should have forewarned you to find a seat and get comfortable before reading that opening sentence. 60+ years? Yes, 60+. Your surprise/shock may come from the well-kept secret explanation that I look so amazingly young because many years ago I may have had a sip or two from Ponce de León's Fountain of Youth near St. Augustine, Florida. So, what's happened in these years? Well, I've learned a thing or two from the Bible and life. Perhaps it would be better to state that I am still learning a thing or two. To be honest, even after these...
Again for the First Time
Some time ago, the CBS television network was in the basement regarding its viewership ratings. Week after week, the ABC and NBC networks constantly outperformed their programs. After many strategy meetings, the CBS marketing team came up with this slogan - "Watch us again for the first time". In other words, they were telling television viewers to look at their dramas, comedies, and movies as though it was the very first time to ever watch a CBS program. This afternoon, I felt impressed to ask you to look at what God has to say about your children using the "again for the first time" way of...
A Week of Destiny
This won't come as a great revelation to you. SUMMER IS JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY and with it comes the two- to three-month-long school vacation. For the children, it's a yippee, and for some parents an oh-me. With the boys and girls being out of school, parents are desperate to find a way for their children to, using King James English, "occupy until I come" (Luke 19:13) home from work each day. Here is what I believe to be a God idea. The yippees and oh-mes can become wow-wees for the children in your ministry. While I know that some public/private schools offer a day camp for children and...
God Is Good
Here is a truth that won't come as a great, earth-shaking, new revelation to you - God is good. I know that you already know this to be true. In fact, in all probability, you've known God to be good since your early childhood. How so? If your childhood was like mine, you possibly daily acknowledged God's goodness in the "God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for this food..." prayer offered before your meals. What was prayed as young children isn't just something that's just cute and simple to recite. This powerful insight is found over and over again throughout the scriptures. In...
It’s the Word
For the last two days, I have felt such a strong prompting to share this post. Whether I am writing for one person or a host of people, I am clueless. It might be for you personally or a dear friend or family member. But, the unction is undeniable and inescapable. Consider this scripture. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psalm 107:20 I know that in all probability, this scripture is familiar to many. And, with that in mind, it would be easy to glance at the verse and dismiss this post. After all, you know it already don't you? Strange as this...
