“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) Do you have a favorite TV show? I like anything that has to do with history, mystery and suspense. A recent statistic states that the average American spends 15 years of his or her life in front of the television set—15…

Blessing from Jesus is about so much more than money. Do you think, as a Christian, you have been blessed? What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think or hear the word “blessed”? Is it money or material blessing? There are so many blessings we as believers have in Christ that…

Church is the body of Christ, and that body is broken. Members of that body are sinful, wounded, bruised, offended, and wrecked! The Good News (gospel) is that the body is connected to the Head that is Christ, and He is our healer! He foremost forgives us (all of us) from our sins (all of…

No. Here’s a reason why. Have you ever researched your family tree? Most of us don’t know our ancestry beyond our grand or great-grandparents. I’ve always wondered if I am related to the two former presidents who bear the same last name. Everyone wants to find that royal or famous person in their lineage. However,…

I love the snow, what about you? I’m not talking about a blizzard or sleet, but that perfect snow…the kind that actually sticks to the ground and rolls up to make a snowman. Living in Arkansas, I haven’t been in a perfect snow very many times. I do remember a huge snow around 1985 as…

Without daily maintenance and consistent payment, that new car quickly runs out of gas, breaks down, and is repossessed. The new usually wears off everything when the first payment is due. God doesn’t want your New…

Who’s back in the gym already this year? If you start early enough, you can be an “old pro”, that can “complain” about all the “new” people crowding the gym at the beginning of the year. Haha. I’ve got some new goals for the new year. I’m also praying that it’s different than the previous…

Here are some comforting words for the New Year: “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true” (Revelation 21:5). When someone says, “write this down” or “mark my word”, they seem fairly confident. These words of the…

Happy New Year! The new year offers better opportunities, fresh starts, and second chances. New is something everyone wants. As I was shaving the other day I noticed the word “new” on the shaving lotion bottle. I looked at the hand soap and it said “new” as well. It made me wonder how many products…

I once heard it said, “We know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.” Everything has a price, but the value of something is much more. We have our limits on what we’d pay for certain things. A Coke at one place may be fifty cents and seven dollars at another. If I…
