Judges 14:3-4-But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes.” 4 […]
A burn out and depression come when our hope is dashed. It is, therefore, vital where we place our hope. Hoping even in good things will result in a burn out and depression if it is not in the ultimate cause. Elijah was a mighty man of faith. He defeated 400 Baal prophets in a […]
The gospel is not like information we need to hear once, but like a beautiful song we need to hear over and over. I realized this as I was driving to work, listening to Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones, an old Scottish preacher. The recording was so old that it was originally recorded on paper tape […]

God WILL come through one day and do justice. After king David, the nation Israel deteriorates very quickly. A […]
Mark 7:6-9–And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to […]
Hugh Hefner lived to the ripe old age of 91. When he died this year, he still had his wealth, women, power, and good things this world has to offer. Yet, he made millions fall with his creation. How many marriages broke up because of his work? How many children grew up in broken families […]
Mark 4:38-39-But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” I got a chance to go “back home” to Ohio and Michigan last week and see all of my family. Coming from a family of 7 uncles […]
