There is still a lot to do!

Joshua 13:1  Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.  Much of the Promised Land has been conquered at this point in the story. God has blessed and used Joshua. You can [...]

Men don't cry!

Last night during the Consumed Teen Revival Brother Chad Gordon was preaching. He said that while he was at the Summit that he heard me say that real men don’t cry and then basically said that he just might cry. I just want you to know that I said that my dad said that men do [...]

Never been here before!

Joshua 3:4  Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.  As I read this passage I thought about where many of us are [...]

Church members continue to support missions, mostly with their money, sometimes with their prayers; but they seldom read literature dealing with missionary strategy and policy. Most of them know little or nothing about the progress of the [...]

Think and Make it Happen

Think and Make it Happen by Dr Augusto Cury is my latest book review. This is a book by a psychiatrist. He mentions Jesus and Bible principles in the book but it is not a Christian or religious book and the author states that clearly on page 177. He says that he is not talking [...]

Good quote

I am reading a book for Nelson publishing right now. It is entitled “Think and Make it Happen.” The section I am reading talks about your thought process and I thought this was particularly good so take a read: A correctly thinking mind is ever young, always dreaming and creative. But an ordinary mind loses [...]

Asking for a miracle!

These are in many ways the worst of times! The economy is in the toilet. People are losing their jobs. Banks are closing and all, but I want to ask you to be praying for a miracle. I know that all we can do right now is pray. But I want us to be asking God to [...]
