Have you ever wondered if hell really exists? Do you believe that people who do not believe in Christ go to hell? I’ve got to be honest, ever since I can remember, I never worried about hell. I have close Christian friends that believe very strongly in hell. We recently had some people at our church leave for…
How should Christians handle a cause..?..?..?
It always saddens me when I observe Christians disagreeing on what “our” biggest “cause” should be. While we all have different callings we can never afford to get so caught up in that one calling that we forget our true calling, our one and only calling and that is to bring others to Christ. I…
Business and Mercy…do they mix?
My business is a very customer service oriented entity. We sell a commodity and the only way to separate ourselves from the competition is by focusing our product around the wants and needs of our customers. The key to great customer service has and will always be building solid relationships and these relationships are built…
Vegas…
I am not a world traveler by any stretch of the imagination but I’ve been in several cities throughout the United States. I really like Boston and I am always awestruck by the mammoth size and “busy-ness” of New York City as well as it’s cultural diversity. Washington D.C. has so much history I could…
Fool on the Hill
Day after day, alone on a hill, the man with a foolish grin is keeping perfectly still, but nobody wants to know him, they can see he’s just a fool, and he never gives an answer, but the fool on the hill sees the sun going down and the eyes in his head see the world spinning ’round… Most…
If we aren’t careful there will be nothing left…
I recently spoke at my high school’s graduation ceremony. I spoke with the Class of 2008 about the importance of giving vs. taking, contributing vs. consuming and committing to making a difference. I learned a long time ago that my life was not mine, it was a gift to me from the Lord. I also learned that the Lord…
What is wrong with us?
As we get closer and closer to electing a new President I often sit and scratch my head as I listen to the comments of fellow Americans. The one that blows me away is when someone says “I am voting for so and so because they are going to take care of my needs.” What an…
Wisdom = Life Effectiveness
Every day I get up and do my morning devotion. It is a time for me to pray, read the bible and listen and reflect on what the Lord has in store for me. It is my way of getting in touch right out of the gate. I put the armor of God on first…
Acceptance is the key…
“And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation—some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed…
Envy will rot your bones
This morning during my morning devotion I read Proverbs 14. In verse 30 it states “A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.” This is the new living translation version of the bible. In the New International version it states that “envy will rot your bones.” I don’t…
