INTERLOCUTORS

From My Perspective - - -

At the birth of this nation, many notable men made a contribution. Not all had religious scruples of a valid religious belief system. One such man was Thomas Paine. He was reared a Quaker but never embraced “religion” as anything he valued for himself. In the course of time and events, he became a prolific writer. As such, he was an Interlocutor of his time – one who “takes part in a conversation or dialogue...a person who questions; an interrogator.” In… Continue

Stay In The Game

It’s Monday night, the game is on, the score is 24-14 and only 1:40 minutes left in the game. Your team is loosing, you think it’s a waste of time to keep watching the game, so, you go on and switch channels thinking the game is almost over and your team is about to loose. Five minutes later you decide to check the final score… to your surprise; your team made a miraculous comeback and won 28-24. Every athlete knows that the game is not over until the referee blows the whistle. Regardless of… Continue

LIVING IN THE EYE OF THE STORM WITH GOD

Living In The eye Of The Storm with God

Wow what a thought, I recently saw a movie about a huge hurricane that hit this town. The storm was really bad and then all of a sudden the sun came out and the winds stopped and the people thought the storm was all over. A wise old man said to the people that the storm was not over but but they were in the eye of the storm.

All I could think of was Psalm 91 that… Continue

Jeremiah 30

Good Morning. Jeremiah 30 has been a great source of encouragement for me this morning. The Lord promises that he will heal our wounds; despite our great multitude of guilt and sin. He promises to restore us if we draw closer to him. However as a God of justice and one who disciplines his children we will not go entirely unpunished. (ie there are consequences to our actions).

Those of you who saw my discussion this week knows that I have been struggling with sin and this was a great… Continue

Finances

Even in the best of times, the holiday season can be a time of financial stress and pressure. The opportunities to spend money and the temptations to incur debt are powerful.

Of course, these aren’t the best of times, economically speaking. As we enter this holiday season, many couples are battling real fear about their financial futures.

I write to you today because I care deeply about Christian marriages and about your marriage. Few factors have a greater impact on the… Continue

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

What To Do in Times of Trouble

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
