Last Saturday I again had the privilege of teaching at the Phoenix Rescue Mission. I’ve been going there on the 5th Saturday of the month for nearly ten years. I’m posting what I taught: “The Grace of God.”
In order to demonstrate to the guys just how big God’s grace really is, I shared with them about a very evil religious terrorist! In listening to this podcast (33:35), I think you too will see
Some are impressed by academic achievements. Others are dazzled by personality or charisma. And there are those who are influenced by longevity. (Let’s leave out those who just take information from the top listing of a Google search as absolutely true.)
Regardless of the topic, someone with a long history, scholarly credentials, and a likeable personality does not absolutely guarantee they are correct in what they say. Einstein’s static universe theory in 1917 was completely disproved by Edwin Hubble demonstrating that the universe is constantly expanding. But, Einstein said it; it must be true, right?
My point is, if something is true, it doesn’t matter who speaks it or writes it or sings it;
“I’m trying to do my best.” “Is that the best you can do?” “Do your best.” “My best just isn’t good enough.” Sound familiar? I think “best” is overrated, misunderstood, or maybe it’s just semantics.
What is your best? What is my best? If I’m not doing something as good or better today than yesterday does that mean I’m not doing my best and therefore I’m
A new year is dawning. 2015 is here. What are you expecting? What kind of year will it be for you?
Many will make New Year’s Resolutions; others will not. Overachievers and perfectionists will become disappointed, while underachievers will be saying, “Oh, well, who cares?” But what if, just what if, this ends up being the
I have some links below to past posts, including topics like the Magi, Christmas trees, swaddling clothes, Simeon and Anna and even
I recently had a nice three day weekend in San Diego, at Pacific Beach. I spent a little bit of time sightseeing and a whole lot of time absorbing and inhaling the Pacific Ocean.
I took several walks on the beach, played in its chilly water several times, and enjoyed the view and sounds from our room. But the best was the last afternoon just
Recently someone I’ve not talked to for quite awhile called to talk to me about current economic conditions. Wow! That’s a big topic!
Our discussion involved not only economic situations in our country, but also some issues on the political scene as well! Whew! Needless to say it was not a very
I have something a little different for you this year for Thanksgiving. In addition to a number of links to past Thanksgiving Day posts, I have recorded Psalm 118, and added some background music. (Links and audio player are below)
The psalmist expresses his praise and gratitude to God. From reading it, we Bible fans can certainly see his heart toward God, and at the same time, be inspired to show our own praise and thanks to our loving God.
David and others who wrote the psalms were human beings, just like us. They had
Some people are pessimistic and some are optimistic. We weren’t born one way or the other; we learned to be pessimistic or optimistic.
This short (1:19) video Pep Talk is about what you see is all about your decision on how you see it.

John Maxwell once said, “The difference between winners and whiners is, winners, they know they have to do the right things and then they feel good; whiners, they want to feel good before they do the right thing.”
The dictionary defines a whiner as “a person who makes frequent complaints usually about
