When I was a teenager, I was reading through a BC Comic book. In one particular strip, Peter and Curls were discussing an upcoming election. There discussion then sums up how many of us feel 30-40 years later. Peter asked Curls if he was voting for the Apathy Party or the Lethargic Party. Curls replied, … Continue reading Voting the Lethargic Ticket

Keep Running
No I am not talking about political candidates who are "still in the race" or even those that are leading the polls and delegate counts. I have in mind Hebrews 12:1-3, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so … Continue reading Keep Running
The Highest Priest
Jesus is that High Priest. He is From God – Passed through the heavens Jesus was with God, He was God. As God He came to live on earth. Therefore, He understands our weaknesses He understands because He walked in our shoes. He understands because He walked with us. Because He was tempted in every … Continue reading The Highest Priest
Open My Eyes
Last night I had the opportunity to attend a report from some men and women who recently visited Central America on a mission reconnaissance trip. They came back with pictures, stories, and recommendations. Through the years, I have travelled to Central and South and witnessed firsthand the socio-economic conditions of those countries. Many things we take … Continue reading Open My Eyes
Election Time Again
President Ronald Reagan once stated that the most frightening words in the English language are, "I am from the government and I am here to help." With the Iowa Caucuses over, the New Hampshire primaries past, and with many Southern states holding primaries in just two weeks, those of us in the Untied States are turning attention … Continue reading Election Time Again
I Don’t Know What to Say
I try to post a blog four days a week. Some days, like today, I have so much running through my mind - or very little for that matter - that I am not focused on a single thought or lesson. Today, I am thinking about the wonderful devotional thought the freshman (Jackson B) from Tide4Christ … Continue reading I Don’t Know What to Say
Life in the Last Days
Read Mark 13:1-37. In this passage, Jesus tells his apostles that the pride and joy of God’s people will again face destruction. The destruction of the temple would come while their generation still lived (Mark 13:30). Today, many equate the events of Mark 13 to the Christ’s 2nd Coming and the events of the end of … Continue reading Life in the Last Days
Innocent or Guilty
In their song "Guilty" the Newsboys sing, "If serving You’s against the law of man If living out my faith in you is banned Then I’ll stand right before the jury If saying I believe is out of line If I’m judged cause I’m gonna give my life To show the world the love that … Continue reading Innocent or Guilty
Journey to Follow
As we follow Jesus as His disciple there are some warnings from Jesus that you need to know. Mark 8:34-38: And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life … Continue reading Journey to Follow
We are at War
Peter writes both succinctly and with astute observation of mankind when he states, "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which war against your soul." (1 Peter 2:11). "Which war against your soul." We are in a daily battle. We constantly fight to keep our minds and … Continue reading We are at War
