    Be More Like Jesus

    Contributed by Dennis Fox on Aug 9, 2024

     | 587 views

    We all aspire to be better. Wouldn’t we be better if we followed Ephesians and tried to imitate Christ in all we do?

    Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! Anyone growing up watching the Brady Bunch remembers that line. Jan seemed to never be able to compete with her older sister Marsha. It was made in funnier on the Very Brady spoof movie where Grandma (Florance Henderson) comes to visit and says something to the effect of ...read more

     | 784 views

    We all hang our hopes on one thing or another throughout our lives. But, all real hope can be traced back to the Lord. He gives us hope in many ways!

    We all hang our hopes on one thing or another throughout our lives. Once my wife and I were out in Las Vegas. On our way back into the hotel for the night, we walked through the casino floor and saw a woman playing the slots. One quarter after another. Ok, not so unusual in Vegas. However, the ...read more

    Where you focus your thoughts greatly effects how you feel, how you talk to others, and your relationship with God. So where should we focus, our blessings or hardships?

    Where you focus your thoughts greatly effects how you feel, how you talk to others, and your relationship with God. So where should we focus, our blessings or hardships?

    Be Christ's Witness

    based on 1 rating
     | 599 views

    If you were called as a witness for Christ, what would you stay? Are you prepared to take the stand?

    If you’re going to tell people about Christ, you have to make it personal. What better way than to tell people what you’ve seen and how it’s impacted you personally. Relating what you’ve experienced is at the heart of being a witness. Why is this so important? Because you’ve just made it ...read more

    His Name Is On My Heart

     | 556 views

    Sports stars wear corporate logos and represent them. We also put our name on things that belong to us. If Jesus is on our heart, the we become his representative and we become his children.

    One of the funnier on-line rants was a friend of our son’s, over a seat in a classroom. They were all about month into the semester at A&M and when he came to the class, someone was in his seat. His reasoning was if your two weeks into the semester, that is your seat. So yah, I could see ...read more

    Go Into The Light

    Contributed by Dennis Fox on Mar 3, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 601 views

    Christ is a beacon for all to set their compass, and reference for their journey home. We can also be beacons of light. We receive the fire of the Holy Spirit, and because of that, we can be one of the guiding lights that helps shepherd God’s children home.

    Go Into the Light Do you remember the movie Poltergeist? It was about a house that was haunted with not just one ghost, but many, many of them because the greedy developer built the entire neighborhood over a cemetery.

    Show Your Faith

     | 805 views

    Jesus says he will stand for us on Judgment Day. Will you stand up for him now or will you hide in the shadows.

    Show Your Faith We’ve found out something interesting. Reality TV has nothing to do with reality. I’m betting that is a shock to no one. Karen and I had watched a reality show about couples who met abroad, until it turned into nothing but a parade of the absurd to the point we couldn’t even ...read more

     | 1,281 views

    We are commanded to spread love, but what is love? Is it a need or an emotion? Why does God want us to love one another?

    Lately in the news there have been stories of an Angel in Rowlette TX. Several times over the last few weeks, a mystery guest has left $2000 tips for servers in restaurants. It’s been 3 times in the last 3 weeks. When the pandemic first started, restaurants were ordered to be closed to dining. ...read more

    What Does The Holy Spirit Do?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,033 views

    Ever wonder exactly what the Holy Spirit does? He has way more tasks than we have ever imagine!

    Who is the Holy Spirit? I think back to my days in Sunday School learning about the Trinity. For me, it was easier to understand the Father and Christ, his Son. They were easy to imagine. Afterall, how many pictures from the Renaissance depicted them. Just look at the Sistine Chapple. But ...read more

    Being Born Again changes everything about how you see the world. Taking children as an example What I find most exciting is that you get the see the world new all over again through their eyes. There is so much wonder; so much amazement. We get new eyes when we are reborn, and a new perspective.

    New Eyes 14 May 2023 Children always bring excitement into your life. What I find most exciting is that you get the see the world new all over again through their eyes.

    Move Into The Light

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,233 views

    Many of us were afraid of the dark as children. Should we be afraid of the dark as adults too? Light is good. Light is knowledge. Light is the protection of our Lord.

    Move to the light It’s normal to be apprehensive when we feel vulnerable and when we can’t see clearly it contributes to that vulnerability. In other words, being afraid of the dark and yes, when I was little, I was very afraid of the dark. It didn’t help that we lived in a creaky old house ...read more

    Pandora's Box

    Hope is a gift from God. It effects our outlook and how we interact with others. Hope can keep us alive and help us reach our goals.

    Pandora’s Box Saint Augustine said: "Let those who dread be allowed to hope," But what exactly is hope? I’ll start with Greek Mythology because I’m reminded of the story of Pandora. Mythology stated that Zeus first created only men. Prometheus first stole fire for man then tricked ...read more

    Would you recognize Christ if you saw him? Christ walked with two of the Disciples and they didn't even recognize him.

John {20:11} But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre, {20:12} And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. {20:13} And ...read more

    Sing!

    Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jan 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,690 views

    Ever wonder why the Angles are singing? Hymns are actually a very powerful prayer. In fact, a song, a Christmas Carol, was even able to stop a war. The power of songs of praise can change hearts and boost our faith.

    One of my favorite things to do at Christmas as a child was a couple days before, my little brother and I would have a large candle, and we would go from house to house with a hymnal and go caroling. We would pick a few of our favorites like Silent Night, Oh Come O Ye Faithful, and Joy to the ...read more

    Rejoice

    Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jan 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,104 views

    Joy is so much different than happiness. All joy truly comes from God. Chris's birth returned the joy of we lost when we left the Garden. We have re-joyed or in better terms, rejoiced!

    A new joy – restore joy During road trips we made up word games to pass the miles as the travel droned. One our favorite games was the prefix game. We pick a prefix and each of us took a turn, and it had to be a real-word, until somebody couldn’t think of one, and they were out. Think of ...read more
