I am sure I have posted about this before either as a post or in different posts, but we are preached by the secular world to be tolerant of others. However, is that really what God says or wants? The answer in my opinion is no. He says to love one another, but no where […]

Be yourself
I know there is a saying that you need to be yourself, but that is wrong. Our self relies upon the flesh and the world which we already know leads to death. Instead of being our selves, we need to be more like Christ. Being like Christ is not easy and in fact, I will […]
Christianity
While Christians are supposed to represent Christ, Christianity is just a religion. How can all these religious denominations be right and wrong at the same time? We have Catholicism, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Wesleyan, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Episcopalian, etc. Each one of these denominations has their own set of rules and regulations and most of them are […]
Like Father Like Son
My son has told me multiple times that he wanted to be like me. I’ve told him that is great, but I wanted him to be him, not me. I think he is starting to finally realize this. We have similar but also completely different ways. He is mild mannered in temperament where I am […]
Kindness and Being Blessed
I saw a movie the other day called “A Christmas Tree Miracle”. Was it great acting, no. It kind of reminded me of “Facing the Giants”. However the message that it gave was powerful. While the family was not deeply religious in the beginning, the acts of kindness they displayed ended up helping them out […]
Christmas
I know that I have said I hate this time of the year, but that is not 100% true. I love Christmas time as it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I just hate what it has become and what it brings out in people. Christmas used to start the Friday after […]
New Year
For me it is 11:03 PM 1Jan2018, but by the time this gets posted, it will be sometime on 2Jan2018. I am sure that this has to do with the location of the servers which I believe are in Germany, but that is ok. Normally, I do not make resolutions, but I will this time. […]
The Greatest Gift
A few days ago we celebrated Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. While He more than likely was born in late winter/early spring, this time of the year was chosen to represent His birth. Jesus coming to Earth was the greatest gift that mankind could ever experience. He was vulnerable when He was younger, He […]
Family
There is nothing like being around family for Christmas. My son went to Upstate New York where there was like 3 feet of snow and it was pretty cold. While he made it home for Christmas, we were not actually sure he was. My wife and I decided that he got himself up there and […]
Just say Yes
We are in the holiday season now and people are spending 100’s if not 1000’s of dollars on each person in their family. I think this is absolutely ludicrous. There really is no reason to go into debt for Christmas or any other holiday. Honestly, it is not about the gifts, but about the love […]
