    Christians and the Sabbath

    Of the Ten Commandments, there is probably more confusion about this one than about any other: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8). So let's understand what it is and what it isn't.

  • When Heaven and Earth Become One

    When Heaven and Earth Become One

    One day, Cathe was driving with our youngest son, Jonathan, who was then age 3. She was talking about the Rapture and how we would be caught up to heaven. The more she talked, the quieter Jonathan got. Finally, he blurted out, "Mom, I don't want to go to heaven! I don't want to leave this beautiful world that God made!" It's hard for a 3-year-old to wrap his mind around heaven.

    The Easiest Place to Get a Hardened Heart

    Where is one of the easiest places to get a hardened heart? Any place where God's people gather. It isn't in a bar or around a bunch of people who are doing wicked things.

    One Bite at a Time

    It has been said that conversion has made our hearts a battlefield. It is true. When you believe in Jesus Christ, a battle begins in your heart. It is a battle between God and Satan. When you take that step and make a commitment to Lord, the Devil will want to pull you away from the commitment you have made.

  • The God of Ordinary Men

    The God of Ordinary Men

    As far as we know, Moses hadn't heard from God for 40 years. Then God spoke to him and called him. And how did He do it? Through a burning bush. It was not uncommon for a bush to catch fire. A bolt of lightning could have caused that. But Moses had never seen a bush that perpetually burned. God was doing something out of the ordinary that got Moses' attention. And then He spoke.

  • Home!

    Home!

    My granddaughter Allie is a little homebody. She will come to visit Cathe and me, and will be so excited (we have lots of toys and fun things for the grandkids to do), but without warning, Allie will just say "home" and walk out the door!

    A Wise Choice

    Underneath Moses' robes of royalty beat the heart of an Israelite. He believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses saw how his people were being mistreated as slaves.
