    Why do you do what you do? Why do you want something? Why do you want it so badly? Can you let it go? Do you want something simply for yourself? BTW, it is real easy to deceive yourself into believing that you something for others but in reality it is a selfish ambition. I told people before how as ...read more

    We Get a Whole Bunch Pastor John R Ramsey once wrote, "For some time I have had a person provide me with a rose boutonniere to pin on the lapel of my suit every Sunday.

    The world says, “If it feels good, do it!” and “The ends justify the means.” As a result, we have to be extra alert. It reminds me of God’s message to Sardis in the Book of Revelation. God kept having to tell them to be alert and that must have poured salt into their wounds. You see Sardis was a ...read more

    “Everybody’s doing it.” This is a common phrase used today to excuse our behavior, but it is no excuse.

    I must admit I don't get away with very much, and I never have. It's not that I never try. It's just that whenever I try to get away with something, it always backfires. I wish there were a class somewhere entitled, "How You Can Get Away with Anything." I certainly would sign ...read more
