    I have read that the nearest star to our sun is called Proxima Centauri, and it’s about 4.22 light years away. As you know, a light year is not a measurement of time; it is a measurement of distance. Light is the fastest thing we know of, and a light year is how far it takes light to travel in a ...read more

    Kid’s Music Marketers and musicians are realizing that kids’ music is a shared experience. There is a parent in the driver’s seat whenever the kids are listening.

    Fishing or Drinking My cousin Phil was asked by guys he went to school with or worked with how they had got drunk on the weekend and had a hangover. Then how much fun it was, and then asked him what he did on the weekend. He gladly said, "I went fishing." They thought that was a little lame. But ...read more

    Christians and non-Christians. Believers and non-believers. Sinners saved and lost. That is really the only significant difference between men, and I use the word ‘men’ generically; you have heard His words with ears of faith and been declared right with Him or you have heard His words with ears ...read more

    Just imagine you’d spent days and days doing a 1000 piece jigsaw and just when you thought you would finally finish it, you found there was a piece missing. How would you feel? It wouldn’t matter that 999 pieces were perfectly in place, you’d still notice the piece that was ...read more

    Spurgeon said it like this, “With out the shedding of blood there is no remission.

The blood has been shed – the incorruptible, eternal, divine, ...read more

    It can be tough to buy a ripe watermelon. I have bought them when they are over-ripe, mushy, and inedible. In other cases, the still taste "greenish," like a cucumber with sugar on it. But note that on the outside, they look alike. And you can thump and bump. But it is what is on the inside that ...read more

    Robert Raines - My ten-year-old son, Bob, had made the all-star football team in school. As I rubbed his back while putting him to bed one night, out of the quiet came a still, small voice, "Dad, is this the first time you ever rubbed an all-star’s back?" ...read more

    BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN, WE SIN A dog barks because it is a dog. It does not become a dog because it barks. Its ‘doginess’ makes it a dog, it’s in its DNA. Humans are not proved to be human because we sin; it is because we are human that we sin. Though still bearing he image of God, which ...read more

    As Christian we might have dropped some of those four lettered curse words; however we still curse others by speaking evil and wishing evil upon them. The Bible says in James 3:10"Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so ...read more

    "Under the Old order it was simply impossible to do the will of God, and if that old order still dominates men’s lives, to do his will remains an impossibility. But those whose life is controlled by the Spirit, those who follow His promptings, do the will of God from the heart. Their own spirit, ...read more

    TOLERATE To tolerate means I can disagree with you while still respecting you. One person is a Republican, another Democrat. We put aside our differences and get along. One person is a (Florida) Gator, another a (FSU) Seminole. We put aside our differences and get along. Some ...read more

    SIN IS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER SIN we said, is stretching our will and our actions past the limits of God’s laws. The result is not unlike pulling a vacuum cleaner beyond the length of its cord, you still have the machine (your body) but now it is disconnected from the power that makes it behave ...read more

    It’s pretty common to complain about things. During a military exercise at Eglin AFB, Florida, as I was standing in line at the mess tent, I heard a disgruntled soldier ahead of me say, "What! Lobster again?!" I’m convinced that some people could live in a suite at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston ...read more

    A common phrase used in the world of healing is, “time heals all wounds.” I have found this to be more false than true. As a pastor, I talk regularly with people who are still carrying hurts from 30 or 40 years ago. The real truth is, time often makes things worse. Wounds that are left untended ...read more
