I may be quite different from most people when it comes to flying – I love to sleep on a plane. Most of the time, after taking my seat and getting everyone else in my row situated, I am out. Recently on a long flight, Donna and I were fortunate to be upgraded to firstContinue reading “Put Your Mask On First”

I have always been interested in criminal court proceedings.  I am not talking about Perry Mason or Matlock, neither am I talking about Judge Judy.  I am talking about actual court cases tried in a courtroom by real officers of the court.  I can be entertained for hours sitting there listening to the real-life dramaContinue reading “Court is in Session – What is Your Plea”

One of my greatest joys in ministry as I have gotten older is pouring into young ministers.  I was blessed with some great mentors in my early days so being able to pay it forward seems the least I can do.  If the little bit of knowledge I have gained and the experiences I haveContinue reading “Simple Truth That Makes A Difference”

I have always been a big fan of radio – especially AM radio.  I remember in my younger days enjoying running the dial late at night to see all the far away stations I could pick up.  Depending on the weather conditions, the dial would be filled with “in and out” “staticky” stations from allContinue reading “Repost: God is Speaking – Are You Listening?”

It is called the silent killer.  It has no odor, no color and emits no fumes.  Several hundred people die from it each year and because of it many more suffer debilitating illnesses. I am talking about carbon monoxide poisoning.  It can strike anytime anywhere and, unless there is a detector present, you do notContinue reading “Do Not – And I Repeat – Do Not Drink The Poison”

I grew up in southeast Oklahoma in the heart of tornado alley.  I have many vivid memories as a little boy joining other members of my extended family in my grandmother’s underground cellar while we waited for storms to pass.  This was a common occurrence in the springtime in our little part of the world. Continue reading “He Sees, He Knows, and Payday is Coming”

I was blessed to grow up in a small classical Pentecostal church.  I have so many impressionable memories from this time in my life.  The people and experiences in this little church, no doubt, make me the man I am today.  I am very thankful for my heritage! One of the things a guest toContinue reading “Sometimes Praying Is Not Enough”

One of the most revealing examples of genuine transparency in the Bible is found in Mark 9.  A desperate father brings his son to Jesus in need of a miracle.  The son is being tormented by evil spirits and there seems to be no help for him.  This father has obviously heard of Jesus andContinue reading “Even When Your Faith Is Not Strong”

The book of Acts reads like an adventure movie meant for the big screen.  Beginning with the supernatural birth of the Church and continuing through its amazing growth and impact, each page is alive detailing the action of the Holy Spirit in the lives of everyday, ordinary human beings.  The book is filled with heroesContinue reading “But The Church Prayed”

My favorite tv show of all time is the Andy Griffith Show.  I have seen every episode countless times but I still enjoy it and laugh at all the funny lines.  There is nothing complicated about it – it’s just good clean humor set in simpler times.  I had much rather watch it than anythingContinue reading “This World Needs Us”
