With all the outcry over this life matters and that life matters, has anyone ever stopped to consider Christ’s life? I am going to say no, because most people are self-centered and selfish. God loves us enough to send His son, John 3:16, but why did Christ come? Christ came to Earth for many reasons: […]

Hating change
I am a person that really does not like change. I can live with it, but I prefer things to remain the status quo. My wife thinks I am slightly autistic which could explain why I really do not like change. I drive every week about 360 miles, 180 to work and 180 home. I […]
Life
In today’s society, life has absolutely no meaning. Before you freak out, let me explain. Violence is on the rise everywhere. When we have a disagreement, we do not talk it out anymore, we resort to violence. We think it is funny to blindside people with a punch. We run people off the road. We […]
Never Rush
In today’s world, all we see are people rushing. They are rushing to meet deadlines, to get to the store, to get to work, to have relationships, et… My advice is to slow down, but let’s look at what the Bible has to say: Matthew 11:28-30 New International Version (NIV) 28 “Come to me, all you […]
Takes Time
In today’s world, we are in a rush about everything. We speed down the road going 5, 10, even 20 mph over the speed limit. Then there is the internet. We get very upset when pages take more than 1 or 2 seconds to load. Is it any wonder why we get upset with God […]
Change Takes Time

Taking Shortcuts
So many of us want things now that we are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Often that means we take shortcuts. So let me define what a shortcut is: a method or means of doing something more directly and quickly than and often not so thoroughly as by ordinary procedure […]
Violence
In today’s world it seems that every where we turn there is violence. People shooting others, blunt force trauma, bladed wounds, fights, etc. Everyone wants to blame the tools that are used, but no one wants to take a hard look at why this is happening? Think about it, why is the first instinct for […]
Wait for God
In today’s world we move at an extremely fast paced and we expect God to keep up. What we fail to realize is that God is already ahead of us, but wants us to slow down so we can hear Him. Have you ever prayed and expected God to immediately answer you? Why were you […]
Political Solicitors
I hate election time. It seems that political poll groups come out of the wood works. They are supposed to be independent, but they are anything but. Tonight a person came to our door at 9PM. I thought it was my daughter knocking so I opened it, then pretty much immediately closed it. Then I […]
