    Having watched the captivating film entitled “Forrest Gump” with a great deal of interest, I was impressed to a large degree by this man whose lifestyle embodied “INTEGRITY,” “HONESTY,” and “SIMPLICITY!”

    While watching the movie entitled “Forrest Gump,” I laughed when Forrest laughed! I found myself cheering when Forrest ran through opposing teams to score a number of touchdowns! I was moved with compassion when he lost his best friend in the Vietnam War! I became excited when I heard the nostalgic ...read more

It can be true but actually each day is a new beginning. It really is the “first day of the rest of ...read more

    You always find what you are looking for; therefore, be careful what you look for.

    Two birds fly over our nation’s deserts: One is the hummingbird and the other is the vulture. Vultures find the rotting meat of the desert, because that is what they look for. They thrive on that diet. Hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful ...read more

    High On God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,996 views

    God wants us to live deliberately and to yield all control to God. Anything else is a cheap substitute. Nothing else fulfills us. When we are "high on God" (filled with the Spirit), all kinds of special things happen.

    High on God Ephesians 5:15-20 We just came from a state that has legalized marijuana use. And you see it everywhere, particularly on the only road to the beach where we used to live.

    The Theology of Sports God - Whoever is champ for the year. He changes from year to year, thus it is a polytheistic religion.

We saw God warning his people to not have images of God or to worship idols of wood and stone. And God told them what would happen if they did. He told them they would find ...read more
