It’s October, a gorgeous time of year in places where the leaves are colorfully displaying the artistry of our Creator, but a month rather bereft of celebratory days, other than Yom Kippur (if you’re Jewish) and Columbus Day (if you’re an American, or a distant relative of old Chris). I know what you’re thinking, and I agree: “The entire World …
FREEDOM FROM = FREEDOM UNTO
Although I wish I could see you face to face, it is a joy to once again greet you via this amazing electronic medium, and I hope that you are electrified by what you read. I am very excited about writing it, and I pray that the Lord Jesus ministers to you through what I am inspired to share with you. …
You Are the Face of Christ to the World
Have you ever stopped to consider what really happened on the Day of Pentecost, which the “Church Calendar” notes is the first Sunday of this month? Omigosh! The magnitude of what God did on that pivotal day He had so long awaited is something I want to truly understand, never take for granted, and practically apply in my life so …
Jesus Christ is Love: Orient Your Heart Toward His
My prayer for you is that the Lord Jesus is shining his light into every part of your life today. The reason he can is because he chose to “face” God every moment of his life, always looking to Him and entrusting himself to His Father. That was Jesus’ “attitude.” Now he longs to give us every good thing, but …
Death Sucks
What a brutal Winter! At least here in Indiana, where we’ve not seen the grass but a few times, thanks to the perpetual white-out we’ve experienced. I’ll even rejoice to be able to mow the lawn soon. Thank God that He decided to follow the relative drabness of Winter with the COLORS and WARMTH of SPRING! Recently I was privileged to …
“Hey Jude!”
Do you own a copy of our priceless, one-of-a-kind book, One God & One Lord: Reconsidering the Cornerstone of the Christian Faith? If so, thank God it is 2014 and not 1553, and thank God you don’t live in Geneva, Switzerland. Why? Because if John Calvin had caught you with a copy of such a “heretical” work as ours, he …
Jesus Loves Me, This I Know
It’s February, and the highlight of the month for many people is Valentine’s Day. There are differing accounts of who Valentinus was and what he did to generate this celebration named after him, but I think the most credible one is that he was the only son of a chocolatier/florist/greeting card manufacturer whose father commissioned him to do something noteworthy …
Launch Out Into the Deep!
Happy New Year! It’s 2014, and I hope you are excited about the possibilities of God and Christ for you this year. How sad it must be for people who wake up day after day with no burning passion for anything. How sad for the millions who see no real purpose for their existence. “Life” has to be more than …
Will You Go the Distance? WWPD?
Here we are at the end of another calendar year, and we Christians are still buying time, as it were. The Devil is grinding his teeth at the fact that his one-world government agenda, which includes a major economic reduction here in the USA, has yet to be fully accomplished. Why? Because, as everyone who Got The Chart, Got The …
Are You Celebrating Thanksliving This Year?
November?? Already?! Yep. And for me, it marks my 70th birthday. Look at that number! If it were your age, I’d think you were getting up there. But it’s just me, in essence the same me that was once 6, 13, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60, 65. The same me that once for the first time shot a basketball, hit …
