I believe that the Lord is interested in what goes on in the business world. I spent the first 20 years of my working life serving as a Youth Pastor. I was in “sales of a different kind”. I served students and their families and introduced them to the Lord. I knew very little about…
This word brings some repulsive thoughts to me. I get pretty frustrated with arrogant people. I actually looked up the definition on dictionary.com to make sure I have a clear understanding of the word. It is defined as: “offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride”. I can see why the Lord hates arrogance too.…
I’m pretty sure that I learn something new every day. For example, I didn’t know that Heard County was the only county in Georgia who didn’t have any railroad tracks going through it until Georgia Power ran a small length of track to bring coal to the power plant. I don’t always keep track of…
I have been on a journey through the book of the prophet Ezekiel for the past 24 days. It has been a bit tough at times because the news he brings is pretty much all bad news. The people of Israel and Judah have been disobedient of God even to the point of defiance. They…
I was reminded this morning of how sexually depraved cultures are so destructive and devastating to people. There are young couples who are deciding that God’s boundaries on purity really don’t apply to them. There are people who justify their sexual impurity as being OK with the Lord.

Those who find themselves in leadership positions have a good bit more responsibility on their shoulders than the average person. They carry the responsibility of leading others. I like the term servant-leadership. I believe sometimes leaders forget whom they are leading. Leaders can get too focused on their power and authority and neglect the ones…
I’m very aware of many of the laws of these United States. I’m also aware of many of the laws of the state of Georgia where I live. I do know that there are laws that I’m not aware of both Federal and State level laws. There are a lot of laws that seemed like…
The liquid called water is to the earth what blood is to my body. The earth could not function without it and neither could I. Our bodies are made up largely of water. I know what it’s like to be thirsty. I’m not been so desperately thirsty that I thought I was literally going to…
I remember years ago when the first artificial heart transplant took place – I think it was in the early 1980’s and a man named Barney Clark was the recipient of the “Jarvik 7”, named after it’s inventor. Mr. Clark was at death’s door with his natural heart and became a good candidate for the…
