Thankful. One thing should never change in the life of a Christian, and that is the practice of thanksgiving. “In EVERYTHING give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Giving thanks is not just a nice thing for us to to do, it is a sure…

The Future of Our Nation I am pessimistic about the future of our nation. I do not believe that we will have a great nation-wide revival (although we could). I do not believe that our nation will continue much longer as the great powerhouse that it has been.  But this does’t mean that I don’t…

What party should a Christian vote for? In this video, I seek to demonstrate how it has become increasingly more difficult to be both a Democrat and a follower of Christ. I have no desire to be political, but I do have a desire to help people, and to build the kingdom of God. An…

Praying for our Nation. In about a month, we all head to the polls to vote in the midst of a political climate that is more volatile than we have ever experienced in our lifetime. Satan has done a superb job of stirring up strife like never before. More and more Americans are looking at…

He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the Second Death – Revelation 2:11 In speaking to the church in Smyrna, Jesus praised His people for their faithfulness to the gospel in the midst of persecution. He also warned them of a coming persecution, one that would be much worse than the one that they…

“Work with Your Own Hands” In the last few months, my wife and I have learned the joy of what it means to ‘work with your own hands’ more than ever before. We both have always had jobs where we would work on the computer, do customer service, or, of course, ministry work. But we…

It’s HAPPENING…. In my last newsletter, I shared with you our plan to go mobile by moving into an RV and traveling throughout the country.  Well, we are now very close.  As you know, we have been hard at work to get our house on the market. We weren’t sure how much our house would…

What was once just a thought, a dream, is becoming a reality. As crazy as it may sound, we have put our house up for sale, purchased an RV, and are soon to hit the road. We are planning to be among the ‘full-time RV families.’  I know what many people will be thinking: “How…
