Our History

This sounds like a really strange question coming from a Christian, but I’ve been asked it, in some form or another, over the last 2-3 weeks. For everyone who is NOT a Christian, it sounds like a logical question, followed by a “why not?” So, what’s this controversial question?

“Why should I know about the HISTORY of the Bible”?

Lost Sight

How much TIME do you have?

We ALL have the same twenty four hours for each day: the same 1,440 minutes. And we’ve lost sight of how valuable each of those minutes are or can be. Whatever time of the day you read this, go back twenty four, twelve, or eight hours and ask yourself just how much of what you did in that time frame was really important?

What’s Available

John 8:32 offers us what we’re all looking for, but we feel (as they did) that we an do it our way, even though Jesus reminds us that it can only be done His way! We are a nation that has it all.

God Loved Them All

As I sat in my “out door get away” today, I was hearing lots of things. Three dogs were seeing how loud they could bark a few houses away. Birds would come from time to time to inhabit the trees over my “hideout” until they would spot one of my movements, and then they too moved- away! It’s was cooler than I thought and as I was wrapping my arms around me, I HEARD something else.

Questions!
