The Oldest Man On Earth

Jose 126

When we’re young, the furthest thing from our minds is getting old. However, it seems the older we do get, the more we realize our mortality. But sometimes, hearing about someone much older than we are can be inspiring. Such was the case for me recently.

Have you heard about Jose and Agnes? No, they’re not married, and I assume they don’t even know each other. They’re both in the

In the last Nuggets, I mentioned God so desires that we would make right choices. But when we don’t, and end up with bad consequences, He looks past all our junk. He looks past it and He sees us as He made us: righteous, forgiven, and not separated from His love.

 

The reason we have God’s forgiveness

The Bible speaks very clearly about God’s love. God’s very nature is love. His love for you and me does not change. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God.

So what about when we miss the mark or do something that is not right? God is just going to

I mentioned in an earlier “Nuggets,” that God’s very nature is love. The Bible says, God is love. The more we recognize how big God’s love really is, the easier it is to love others.

Our works and our worth have nothing to do with God loving us. God’s very nature is love. So again, the answer to why God loves you, is that

Trust the Universe?

The Universe

A few weeks ago someone said to me, “I’m not worried; the Universe will bring it to me.” I replied, “You mean, God?” He responded, “Oh yeah, God; that’s what I call Him sometimes.” I then answered, “Well, God created the universe, so He is definitely bigger than the universe!”

I’m not trying to be critical, but when it comes to God Almighty, the Creator, I like to recognize Him for Who He is. Isn’t it disrespectful to

In this second Love Nuggets post, more on God’s love toward us. As Christians, we are taught to love others. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes it’s not so easy. Sometimes it is much easier to judge and condemn. But as I mentioned in the previous post, the more you understand and believe just how much God loves you and what He’s done for you, the easier it is to

anim-waving-usa-flagToday is the 238th anniversary of the United States of America.

Two years ago I posted, “Was It A Coincidence?” 

This year’s post is a link to that post from two years ago because there are some really great quotes from our Founding Fathers. Some of the words they spoke may even surprise you.  

As the USA continues moving away from the godly principles it was founded upon, many of us continue to

Kathy and I were talking the other day about love, the love of God. We reminded ourselves of a verse in the Bible that says, “And now these three remain: faith [believing], hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Love is greater than hope and believing!

A couple of hours after our chat, I decided

Who’s Your Daddy and What Does He Do?

It’s Another Podcast!

Yesterday was, “Father’s Day.”

Today’s short podcast (11:00) is about, “Who’s your daddy and what does he do?” You might remember that line from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Kindergarten Cop. (I’ll play that cllip in the podcast.)

In gospel of John there’s a pretty intense discussion about, “Who’s your daddy,” between
