Tipping Points, America, the Middle East and What the World is Really on the Brink Of

October 20, 2012 by

There is danger in the air. You can feel it. The world is at a tipping point: “the crisis stage in a process, when a significant change takes place.” So what could the significant change be? Is it that America will be no more? Indeed, it seems the USA is in a downward spiral only […]

The Real Reason Why Some Christians Won’t Vote for a Mormon (when they should)

October 17, 2012 by

(The “should” part in the title is if God is telling you to ~ not me.) Here’s the deal. There are Christians who will not vote, under any circumstances, for Mitt Romney for President. Their thinking? If they vote for a Mormon, then they are condoning, supporting Mormonism or worse ~ promoting, trumpeting it. This […]

How I Hear From God

October 10, 2012 by

I don’t share this like I’m anything great because I’m not. (I’m a sinner saved by grace like anyone else who has Jesus in their heart.) I share this for instruction purposes. I’d been reading through the Old Testament book of Esther in my regular Bible reading. And I’ve always been struck by the fact […]

The Day I Found Myself on a Nude Beach

October 5, 2012 by

You read the title right. Yes, I was a Christian at the time. And the beach was marked: “Public.” (I’d gone jogging on it many times.) Which brings me to the story. It was 1985. I was with my friend sitting on our towels. (Yes, we both had our swimming suits on.) We were listening […]

Why My Pastor is Voting for Mitt Romney (and not Barack Obama)

October 2, 2012 by

You may be surprised that a Christian minister would actually come out and say it. (Why not? He’s an American, too.) And to vote for a Mormon? Isn’t Mormonism a cult after all? Yes, it is.  And he (my Pastor) makes that very clear. But here are the facts. You can choose to believe them […]

Drug Bust

September 27, 2012 by

God spoke to me. He said: “Go over to David’s house.” (The name’s been changed to protect the innocent.) So I went. I knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked again. Still no answer. I knocked a third time. I thought about leaving. But God had told me to go? (You begin to […]

Humbled

September 23, 2012 by

I was humbled. Not once. Not twice. But three times. How much “humiliation” can a person take? (Philippians 2:5-11) It’s a good thing to be “humbled.” It breaks the back of pride. The first way I was humbled is I had to confess my sin to another person in public. I had a bad attitude […]
