Thanksgiving Reflections (not necessarily Thanksgivings)

These are some thoughts I’ve had today that I would normally post on Facebook, but I don’t want to clutter anyone’s timeline with negativity on a day when even I want to see positive Thankful thoughts . . .

So you want to hear God’s voice . . .

I get that from folks all the time . . . “If I could just hear God’s voice, if I only knew exactly what He wanted me to do . . . ”
Today as I contemplated that phrase, even in my own life, I sort of heard God’s voice! But what it said won’t [...]

What to do with the refugees?

I’ve had several people ask me about my Christian perspective on the current situations with the refugees entering the United States. It’s a difficult thing to process.

Most Christians understand that salvation is a free gift. Even the ones who appear to [...]

Born with a Deadly Disease

Perhaps a human way to understand it would be to realize that everyone is born with a disease. It’s a disease that eventually kills. It’s a slow death, and the life here on earth with the disease, like most diseases, can sometimes be agonizing. On the other hand, there are those with the disease who feel so good, they won’t acknowledge they have the disease. No one would even believe they have it until it takes them. Either way, their fate is the same. Whether a person has lived a good full life or an agonizing, pitiful life, he or she will end up eternally dead.

Slave or Son

Friday morning I was reading Luke 15. It’s a familiar story, one that most of you know already. It’s often called the “Parable of the Lost Son” because it follows the stories of the “Parable of the Lost Coin” and the “Parable of the Lost Sheep.”
Let me read a bit of it for [...]
