Just a Thought

If you were to turn on your television and watch the news, you would probably be very discouraged and disappointed. Sadly, most of the news is not news; it is mostly bad news. Just to name a few: wars, natural disasters, riots, and financial collapses.

The problem with this is that we tend to pay too much attention to bad news, and whether we admit it or not, it affects us and every decision that we make in life.

But here is the good news; you don’t have to live your life according to… Continue

Up a Tree without a Ladder

"Mark, it is not easier to be on the road longer when you are travelling with two dogs and a cat." I could feel the edge coming into my voice. My husband and I had been having this same conversation over the past several weeks. He was in Texas and I was in Ohio. He left over a month earlier to begin his new job.I stayed behind until we could arrange housing in Texas. His trip had taken two days, pulling a trailer with all of our belongings. I had been been dreading this trip for several… Continue

OSTENTATIOUS

From My Perspective - - -

The old saying “talk is cheap” has a reality to it in these times. Even though it costs millions of dollars to place Ads and to get one’s point of view before the public, the reality remains – rhetoric is one thing – content/substance is another. To be able to deliver or to have a means to deliver in terms of one’s rhetorical declarations – requires foundational principles and a clear, precise idea how the rhetoric will be matched by… Continue

AUSPICIOUS

From My Perspective - - -

We have all heard about, or seen, or participated in an auspicious moment in our lives. Hopefully – there have been many such occasions. In the current trend of our times, “auspicious” does not appear to be the operative word. “Auspicious” refers to “promising success; opportune; favorable…giving promise of prosperity, or happiness; predicting good…” Can President-Elect Obama, with all his oratorical skills, and seeing the realities of this nation and… Continue

Seven Essential Components of Overcoming Faith

Would you like to have an extra dose of faith to overcome the situation you are in right now? Often people will say they wish they had the faith of a great healer or evangelist.

But, Jesus says that everyone has been given the measure of faith (Rom. 12: 3), and all that you need is faith the size of a mustard seed! (Mat. 17: 20) Why then, is it so hard to get your prayers answered, while others seem to have little or no problem?

First of all, being a person of faith and… Continue

THE PASTOR`S SON

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at their church, the Pastor and his eleven-year-old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest Clothes and said, "OK dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"

"Dad,… Continue

ALTRUISM

From My Perspective - - -

In the ebb and flow of life, as one shuffles from place to place, it appears that altruism is either lost in our culture or shoved so far into the background that it is no longer recognizable. If it was implemented in practical ways, much of the dialogue and posturing with which we have become all too familiar would no longer be relevant. We would be doing and being what we should have always been doing and being. Altruism (according to Webster’s Revised… Continue

An Open Letter to a Soldier

An Open Letter to a Soldier

By Darlene Hight

Dear Soldier,

Today is Veteran's day and as I sit on my outside deck drinking a freshly brewed cup of coffee, my thoughts are on you. The day is warm and pleasant here in Bastrop, Texas. My puppies are playing in our fenced yard. Birds sing overhead and I watch as my cat hunts a field mouse. A light breeze brushes across my face. I think about how I sit here in a place of peace and safety while you face… Continue

My Testimony

When I asked God to show me what He wanted me to do with my life, He wasn’t slow to respond………My name is Angela and I need to tell you how our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, set me free from the pit of hell that I had let myself fall into.

I watched my mother take care of me, my… Continue

THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIAN DO NOW, BY DR DONALD WILDMON

That's What Christians Do Now

(By Dr. Donald E. Wildmon President, American Family Association December 11, 2000)

In 1973 The Supreme Court said it was ok to kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the entire population of Canada. And it continues. A woman's choice? Half of those who have died in their mothers' wombs have been women. They didn't have a choice. It is called abortion.

Me? I go to church, the… Continue

That Still Small Voice: Words and Music by Linda Kostin July 25/ 2006

I can hear that still small voice / speaking to me on the wind/

" Things are going to change / This crisis soon will end ~/

Out with the old , in with the new/ This is what I'm going to do for you."/

I can hear that still small voice / That's always true .../

1st chorus : It seems, so long, since I've been really, happy/

I've been so blue / I don't know what to do!/

I try so hard to do what's right! / To love, forgive and pray/

But I feel that I am so… Continue

WINDS and WHIRLWINDS

From My Perspective - - -

We have arrived at the morning after and what does that mean? Most of the Ballots have been counted! Approximately 115 million people are recorded to have voted! Millions of dollars have been spent to promote one candidate over another – one issue over another! Almost half the country will be disappointed by the result. Many accusations of “how they won” will be echoed across our land. But – what does all of this mean? Is Almighty God any less Sovereign… Continue
