HAVE ONE OF YOUR LOVED ONES COMMITTED SUICIDE? PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love…..
“What is truth?” retorted Pilate John 18:38 Truth, of course, is not opinion. Truth is not trendy. Truth is not style. Truth is not a thing. It is not an issue. Truth is not a culture. Truth is a Man; and not just any man. Truth is the Son of Man. Jesus is truth and there is no other way. In loving Him we are to emulate Him. The great Apostle Paul told us to follow him…..
Never say ”I love you!” rote…
Did you ever hear of a good vomit? Jonah did! Selah!
THE INFALLIBLE AUTHOR MANY WILL SAY, “Paul wrote the majority of the New Testament.” or “Luke wrote the book of Acts.” or “Matthew wrote Matthew.” Even pastors will regularly say such things… The complete/the full truth/ is: men spoke from God as they were carried along by God, the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the only God-breathed, inerrant, infallible, God-breathed Book. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when…..
To Hell with Satan! To Hell with his plan! I overcome by the blood of the Lamb!!! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
I won’t imitate anyone I don’t respect… Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. …..
BE A SWEETY… not a sweaty. Duane and I married in 1979! I always thank God we still love and cherish each other! I have engaged some rules over these years. (Don’t worry guys! He has some too!) One of them is a really big, important one to me: don’t kiss me, hug me, or touch me when you come home from fishing. I mean, this is hours of fishing. I don’t like fish (but I do…..
IN MY DAY (I love saying that: I am seventy!) there were many, many things which were much, much better than today! The ‘F’ word, for example! No, the typical use of the ‘F’ word has never been and never will be good! Selah! And amen!! Thankfully for me, I’ve always recoiled at the ugliness and filth of that word. It will always mean the same to me (on Earth.) Here’s the thing: I see so many fools, so…..
I never had to introduce myself to God! Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Psalm 139:7-12 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise…..
