Miracles Still Happen…
Noble Character
Acts 17 But other Jews (in Thessalonica) were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the […]
10 Things…
So many posts, so many stories, so much to process and to try to understand! I have tried to sort different aspects of our society out in my heart and mind with God this past week and here is where I’m at: I believe that a relationship with God is the most important aspect of […]
Pandemic
Wow…the past month has brought more lifestyle changes than most of us have probably faced in years combined. Many of us are probably fighting to hold onto things that feel “normal” right now. Though some may hope that life as we know it will soon return, the reality is that life is going to be […]
The Coronavirus and The Church
Lately, I’ve been interested in observing how the local churches are reacting to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping through the United States. Of course, however the churches respond to this crisis they will be criticized. I don’t mean to offer any further criticism because that is not my place. I would rather offer the local church […]

Taken for Granted…
I was recently reminded how we can become so accustomed to opportunities and lifestyles that we take them for granted or are blinded to them. For instance, can most of us reading this blog imagine not having a day off from work for 7 months and making $5 an hour on average? (And, no, I’m […]
Who do you say I am?
This blog thought began with me pondering and studying scripture passages where Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?”. Wikipedia defines Jesus as a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. Sadly, it then says that “most” Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah. Wait, what…“most Christians” believe […]
Where is my faith?
“And he (Jesus) did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.” – Matthew 13:58 For several years, I interpreted this scripture to mean that because these hometown family and friends didn’t have enough faith and belief in miracles and healing, then Jesus was limited in what He could do among them.
