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…

New Year resolutions are a lot like new cars. At first they are shiny and impress but how quickly the new wears off. 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.

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…

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…

I finally noticed the stained glass on the chapel at the church. I passed by it several times on the outside looking for what was next on my agenda. Then I stepped inside the chapel. I took two pictures 30 seconds apart – one from the outside looking in and another from the inside looking…

I thought I would compile a chart with the Apostle Paul’s major events, estimated (or actual) year they happened, correlating Scripture, and epistles written during that time. I hope it proves helpful in your continued studies of Paul and his letters in God’s Word.
