I remember as a kid growing up in the Christian Church we didn’t have an “altar” per se. The preacher always offered an invitation after the sermon for all who needed to surrender their heart to the Lord or to rededicate their life to the Lord. I later learned that is some churches they had…
I was planning to look at property and I was in dress slacks and a branded dress shirt. I did remember my boots. Thankfully, I was in a 4 X 4 Ranger and I did gets leaves and twigs on me, but I was able to go back to work and look mostly normal the…
It’s hard to believe it’s November already. The end of the year is in sight. One of my favorite times of the year is the season of Thanksgiving. I love it when people express their thankful heart to the Lord and to one another. I believe the Lord is the Giver of all good things.…
I’ve grown up learning about forgiveness my whole life it seems. I’m pretty sure that I’ve needed forgiveness since I was very young. No matter what you may or may not think of me, I know me quite well. I am definitely NOT perfect. I am a sinful man who is saved by the Grace…
I was taught years ago that confession was agreement with the Lord about my sin. It’s a bit more than that. I believe that my confession is ownership of my sin.

I really like food with my meals! I am not a huge fan of bread, but the meat and vegetables – that’s my favorite. Recently, my wife purchased some “whole grain” bread. I could see the small grains baked into the bread. I have to admit that it made for a good piece of toast…
I’m really struggling to grasp the practices of burnt offerings as I started reading in Leviticus this morning. I am disgusted with the thoughts of having to take a young bull, goat or bird and kill it to cover my sin before God. I’m heard these instructions before, so it’s not new material to me.…
I am on the go a good bit in my normal everyday job. There are days that I’m hardly at the office at all, because I’m out meeting people or looking at property. There are days when my vehicle never moves once I park in the morning. There is a danger is going hard all…
