“The King Is Not Saved By His Great Army …”

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1) After a recent study of Psalm 136 and its numerous declarations that the Lord’s mercy endures forever, I came upon the following in Psalm 33 and had to share it. As I was reading Psalm 33, the thought […]

One Day … We’ll Be Right!

“So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.” (1 Thessalonians 5:6, ESV) Have you ever been seated by the window on an airplane and watched the baggage handlers … treating every suitcase, box, tube, etc. with anything but genuine care?

More Challenging Than Most Imagine

“He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.” (Matthew 12:30, NKJV) It is never wise to compromise God’s biblical standards!  Sobering words to consider for sure … for in the very thought of compromise we are saying His way is not enough or just doesn’t […]

How Frayed Are The Cords Which Bind Us To This Earth …

“Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.  And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”  (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NKJV)  It sits in the drawer of a fancy cherry-stained wooden organizer on my credenza.  It is there every day … and when I open the drawer a smile comes to my face … […]

When She Folded Up The Lawn Chair

“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” (Luke 14:33, NKJV) There are many memories from my growing up on Hill Street in the Northwest portion of Oklahoma City.
