I thought it was a pretty simple order – a cappuccino and two regular coffees.  This is the order I made at Dunkin Donuts on a recent visit to Boston.  Donna said the cappuccino was perfect; Kristina and I were not as pleased with our coffees.  For some reason, the young man with whom IContinue reading “WHAT WE’VE GOT HERE IS FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE”

There is nothing more important to a farmer than harvest.  It is the culmination of all his efforts.  He has withstood the freezing temperatures early in the season, the excess rains in the spring and the scorching sun of the summer.  He has overcome the insects, weeds and wild animals that preyed on his crops. Continue reading “It’s Harvest Time!”

Not too long ago I found myself on a narrow two-lane road on my way to an appointment.  I had never been in this area, so I was trying to be very careful and watch for the place I needed to turn.  But, as happens to me occasionally, I did not see the sign forContinue reading “A Safe Place To Turn Around”

The scene at Calvary was excruciating.  The mother of Jesus and a few of His followers sat and watched all that transpired.  I cannot imagine the sorrow and grief they experienced through the whole ordeal.  That had to be, without doubt, the darkest day of their lives – they watched Jesus suffer and die. TheContinue reading “Keeping the Faith on Saturday”

A couple of mornings ago as I was praying the Lord showed me something I feel I need to share with you.  I saw a beautiful river as it flowed through the countryside.  It flowed for several miles, then all of a sudden, it reached a place where there was a logjam in its path. Continue reading “YOUR CHURCH – A LAKE OR A RIVER?”

Anticipate.  The dictionary gives multiple definitions of this word, some of which are: to regard as probable; to be aware of (what will happen) and take action in order to be prepared; and look forward to.  This word has played into my life many times in many ways. I remember as a child anticipating specialContinue reading “Awakening in the United States is on the Way”

As a God-called preacher of the Gospel I always walk through my storms unfazed and every time I come out of a fiery time of testing you cannot even smell smoke on my clothes…wouldn’t it be great if this were true?  The truth is all of us, regardless of our standing and relationship with God,Continue reading “I am Human but I am His!”

How much more can we take?  I am ashamed to admit this is a question I have asked several times over the past few weeks.  The prolonged crises happening in our nation seem to have no end.  They are striking so close to home and leaving an imprint that will remain forever.  I am tiredContinue reading “The Spotlight Keeps Coming Back to Me”

I grew up in a small town in southeastern Oklahoma in a vastly different time from today.  Instead of computer games, we played real games.  My adventures were limited only to my imagination.  Everyday I was outside with my friends and oh the fun we could have with the simplest of things!  One of theContinue reading “Revival… Will We Know It When We See It?”

Jesus is coming again.  This is a message I’ve heard all my life.  I’ve heard sermons, sung songs and read books on the subject.  Serving many years as an evangelist, there was probably not a revival I preached that I did not address this in some way.  I really do believe it – not becauseContinue reading “More Than A Message”
