Happy Mother’s Day

Proverbs 6:20  My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Mothers taught us a lot about life itself! Here are a few things mama taught us: (unknown source) Mothers teach us about foresight: “Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you’re in an accident.” • Mothers teach us about logic: “If you fall out of that tree and … Continue reading

Liberty Mayday

Is it any wonder that there is a controversy regarding the cross in our state? To be real honest, I believe in separation of church and state. I believe the state should keep its nose and paw out of the church’s business.

Advantage in Adversity

Read I Timothy 6:6-19 Adversity tests us. It’s one thing to study the game sketched out on the blackboard in the locker room; it’s quite another to take the field where adversity tackles us and bloodies our noses. Adversity tests whether we will turn tail and run or stand up to life’s challenges as people of faith. We may think that the opposite of adversity … Continue reading

My Soul is Among the Lions

Psalm 57:1-11 Psalms 57:4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Hebrews 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. When may a Christian … Continue reading
