May our heavenly Father richly bless you as you steadfastly look to Him and the Lord Jesus one day at a time. During World War II, my father was serving in the Navy in China when I was born. He came back home about the time I turned two, and immediately began throwing me a ball. When I was six, …
SURPRISED BY LIFE!
Dear Follower of Jesus Christ, In 2019, April brings us “Easter,” the pagan term for what would more aptly be called “Resurrection Day.” At least people get the time of year right, as opposed to “Christmas,” when they have baby Jesus surrounded by shivering sheep. In seasonal climes, Spring is a time when new life colorfully, brightly, and vividly heralds …
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRUTH

We believe that this project is inspired by the Lord, and that it will meet a need for many people who hunger and thirst for spiritual truth. People need an accurate, systematic, thorough, dynamic, entertaining, …
TRUE LOVE MEANS THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIL
Dear Beloved of God, Well, it’s February, and the sugar cane workers have been hacking away furiously in order to meet the massive need for candy this month. The floral industry is flying in 747s full of roses. Greeting card companies are pumping out age-old messages dressed in new rhymes. Why? Because once upon a time someone who owned stock …
ANOTHER 365 DAYS OF OPPORTUNITIES
Well, it’s 2011, and no doubt someone will wish you a “HAPPY” NEW YEAR! Do you know the origin of the word “happy”? It comes from the now-archaic word “hap,” which means “a chance occurrence.” By definition, then, the only way for you to be “HAP-py” during any of the coming 365 days is for the circumstances of your life …
LOOKING BACK IS THE KEY TO MOVING FORWARD
Dear Fellow Member in Particular, Well, here we are in the last month of the year 2010. As I begin to write this letter to you, I am sobered by the reality that another year of my life is almost gone, and my recent November birthday tells me that it was #67. As I begin this letter by sharing some …
THE ULTIMATE TREASURE HUNT
My prayer is that this letter finds you rejoicing in the Lord Jesus and in the awesome privilege of knowing and serving him. I pray that, in this ever-darkening world, you are shining more brightly each day as a living epistle of his love and truth. How great to know that Jesus is “The Man,” and that he is “in …
HOW BIG IS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO YOU?
May our GREAT BIG WONDERFUL GOD touch your heart as you read and digest what I pray are inspired and encouraging words that will help increase your faith and enable you to see your heavenly Father BIGGER than ever. I’m hoping they will do the same for me. By the way, if you have not read the September FRUIT OF …
FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, DO SOMETHING!
Dear Fellow Follower of Jesus Christ, Once again it is a joy to sit down at my computer with the goal of putting together some clusters of letters, i.e., words, that will enlighten you, inspire you, and, most of all, touch your heart with some of the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. Having had the great privilege this summer …
THE HOPE OF FREEDOM!
Dear Freedom Fighter, “Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing. Let the whole world know there’s a day of reckoning. Let the weak be strong, let the ‘right’ be wrong. Roll the stone away; let the guilty pay. It’s Independence Day.” So says Martina McBride in her song, Independence Day. I don’t know her religious persuasion, but the Word …
