    Too many of us believe we have arrived and are mature spiritually. We must find out “Where Are You?”

This should cause us to pay particular attention to the very first question God ever asked. This ...read more

    You can speak the truth without love and it is still truth though offensive, but love without truth is deceit, not love.

    Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Truth must be spoken and it must be in love though at times delivering loving truth may be harsh or seem harsh to the hearer. Paul wrote this passage by inspiration of the Holy ...read more

    Letter To A Teen-Aged Boy

    I composed this letter to my 14-year-old Great-grandson when I felt he was mature enough to understand and appreciate it. It might be something you would consider to send to any boy who you felt was the same way. Notice especially the last shortened stanza.

    This is a letter I wrote to my great-grandson as he was approaching his 14th birthday. If anyone would desire to use it, I believe it would be appropriate for a boy you believe is mature enough to understand and appreciate it. I composed it following the pattern of the poem "IF" by ...read more

     | 813 views

    God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

    David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more
