Have you ever met someone who just didn’t care about other people? If you have, you probably didn’t spend much time with them. They didn’t want you to. They probably even did something to push you away as fast possible. In fact, they may have been so rude you probably walked away thinking fairly negative […]
There’s an interesting characteristic within the Trinity that can have an enormous impact on how your kids respect you and your spouse.
If you look in Scripture, you’ll see something intriguing. All the members of the Trinity work very hard at glorifying each other. The Father glorifies the Son in Matthew 3:17, when God says, “This […]
You’ve probably never heard of Vicente Menchu. He was a poor farmer from the mountain region of Guatemala. He lived in the tiny village of El Quiche (pronounced kee-chay). And didn’t think he would ever touch the world.
In the late 1970s, when the Guatemalan government began seizing land owned by his fellow villagers, Vicente talked […]
Have you ever felt the desire to bless somebody else, but you just didn’t know how to do it? Or perhaps you knew how to bless them, but you didn’t have the resources available to make it happen? If either of these has ever happened to you, you’ll be glad to know that God has […]

Jesus tells believers they are “in the world” but “not of it.”
Such Christian inspiration is important to cling to as believers are bombarded by a hostile world that seeks to ridicule and marginalize those who share their faith. It used to be that America was a Christian nation. Read our founding fathers. There’s no mistaking […]
A radio talk show host once asked me why I thought there was such a rush for Christians to identify themselves in the workplace as Christians. Why can’t they just work and be happy with that? Why do they have to make a statement about their beliefs?
Apparently, it rubs some non-Christians the wrong way when […]
It was 2:00 am, but the light from the moon cast a glow that illuminated the darkness and allowed me to see into the night. I looked up into the sky and a voice within my being proclaimed, “I love you like the moon.” I immediately smiled because I recognized the voice of […]
This is not about fighting a battle against a sin of the flesh. It’s all about fighting a spiritual battle of faith.
Actually, the verse the Lord directed me to for this message is this one: “I will: be thou clean.” (Luke 5: 13)
That was the Lord’s answer to a leper, who had begged Him that […]
She was widowed, lost and penniless. Logic told her to stay with family and traditional beliefs and rituals. But, somehow, deep in her heart, she knew that she had to make a choice, and that was to go forward into as yet unfamiliar territory.
Ruth had learned from her mother-in-law about God and all the […]
