I remember in the Batman movie the Joker once said to Vickie Vail, "I may be smiling on the outside, but I am crying within." What about you today? Are you crying within? Are you in need of soul rest? Then why don’t you come to Jesus today? He will give you rest. He will give you internal peace. He

You call Me light and see Me not,
You call Me the way and walk Me not,
You call Me life and live Me not,
You call Me wise and follow Me not,

You call Me rich

"BUMPS" SHOW CHARACTER
The other day I had a very full cup of coffee. VERY full. To top it off I had to walk back to my desk with it and, as fate would have it, I bumped into the desk corner while walking there. The coffee spilled. There's no hiding spilled coffee on a book or paper and, sure

I have often heard commercials from banks and mortgage companies that have literally made me angry: “you can have that vacation you’ve always dreamed of, that living room suite you’ve always wanted, that new garage you’ve meant to have. We’ll lend you the money you need." Yeah, for a fee. "Don’t

I heard once of a man who was an American Indian and had been converted. He described the old and the new nature this way, “There’s two dogs that live in me, one’s the old dog, he’s mean and vicious and hard and sinful. Then there’s the new dog who walks after Christ. He said they’re constantly

There’s a song by Oscar Hammerstein II, written in 1949
You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You,ve got to be taught from year to year,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear.
You’ve got to be carefully taught
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly

A lot of people think that being saved is a matter of works. But, here it says that you are God’s workmanship. It says you were created (kitzo) for good works. The word created means that refers to the work of God in creating you for a purpose. Think of it this way, if you have a apple tree in

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. – Do good anyway!
If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies. – Succeed anyway!
