Something in Life I Know to Be True In a world that’s full of turbulence there are a few things that I have found to be rewarding and forever true. There are things that I have learned not to doubt or question but to depend upon as I go through the day. Some of them may sound unimportant at first, but when you stop and think about it, the world today has been commissioned or driven to produce people who do not ask or question but simply follow. You are not taught today to think for yourself but to just [Read More…]
Life in Perspective A comprehensive look at life the way God has intended. A book never published Introduction – My Intent or Purpose As I begin writing, I pray for God’s continual protection and wisdom. I want my life to be consistent, to have a meaning wider and deeper than life itself. Why is it that while I write my mind has cause to wander? What is it that seeks to pull me away, to cause me to falter? I pray as I write that God will give me what I am to say and that every word will be [Read More…]
Did I say that? How is it that we feel that we should be rewarded or given some type of trophy for doing the right thing or what we should have done? Does it take courage to be honest or to do what is expected? Have we drifted so far that we do not see what is important, what should be expected? Integrity, what is it? Is it something we can live without? I do not ask these questions from anyone without first asking them from myself. I know how difficult the pressures of life can be, how painful life [Read More…]
There is no accountability where the truth is not being taught. Truth is the framework that righteous living is built upon, it is what motivates and guides us. Nothing can survive without it; there is nothing that can replace what only the truth will give. Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life” (John 14:6) He is our only way unto the Father or the only way to Heaven. To accept anything but the truth will put your life into peril, there is only one way to Heaven and that is thru the cross. To preach anything [Read More…]
Physical sex is not a compulsory part of love or loving, God intended sex to populate the world, He said, “be fruitful and multiply” but man has made it the most important part of any relationship and not just marriage where God intended for it to be. God’s intentions are not just suggestions and when one commandment is disobeyed, others are soon to follow. It takes the physical union of a man and a woman for a new life to begin, so naturally when that union occurs life may begin, when that life is unexpected and unwanted plan B is [Read More…]

ANY WORTH OR RIGHT THAT I may HAVE comes from Almighty God; I have no right or authority of my own. That to me seemingly makes me worthless, makes me of little or no value, but when I read Gods Holy Word I am given pause to hope and to ponder, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life. Many have come and gone but everyone that has walked this earth were only here because of His magnificent love and grace. There [Read More…]
