They Held Their Heads High

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It is the day we remember those who so loved their country and their fellow Americans that they were willing to lay down their lives to protect them. When I was a kid, to me Memorial Day...

Music Monday Extra – Double Header

I heard both of these songs on my iPod this morning when I was getting ready for work and listening to my Christian playlist on shuffle. They are a nice addition to my regular Monday post from this morning. This first one is a great...

The Sky Didn’t Fall Down, But I’m Ready When It Does

According to one group, Family Radio, last Saturday was supposed to be Judgment Day and the beginning of the Rapture.  Actually, it was just one man since many of his employees didn’t actually believe him and schedule appointments for well after this date. Lots of people joked about this,...

My Hands Are His Hands

I’m reading through Jeremiah as part of my Bible-in-a-year reading schedule. The other night I read Jeremiah 13. Probably the primary lesson of this chapter is the warning against pride, which in my opinion is the sin that is the root of most others sins. Pride...

Music Monday Extra – Rejoice

Earlier today I posted an article based on the song “Beautiful” by Audio Adrenaline. There is another great song on that same CD called “Rejoice.” When Jesus has been lifted up and drawn you to Himself, this is exactly what you will want to do:...

Love Means Never Having to Hear “I’m Sorry”

Many years ago if you had asked me what my favorite movie of all time was, I would have said Love Story with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. It was a touching story of two people who fall in love, but their life together is tragically...

Music Monday Extra – One Trick Pony

I love this song by MercyMe. It’s on the same CD as “So Long Self” that I featured in my post this morning. I actually wrote a post based on this song, “One Trick Pony,” last year before I knew how to insert videos or...

Easter Is Over. Now What?

Lent is over. Good Friday is history. Easter has come and gone. Now what? If I was one of the original apostles meeting with Jesus after His resurrection, my next move would have been to wait. Once when he was eating with them, he commanded...

Peter’s Denials Weigh Heavy on Saturday

Before His arrest, trial, and crucifixion, Jesus predicted that Peter would deny that he even knew Jesus, not just once and not just twice, but three times, before the night was over. As all that Jesus said was true so was this prediction. Standing in the courtyard...
