    The wilderness

    This is the world we live in this is the wilderness… Those words ring so true. It is hard to remember that He is in control. Great work!

    A Simple Hello

    What a blessing to be from a tiny little church in a tiny little town. There are special blessings there that others from the city and mega-churches may never know. I had to physically depart from both, but have never really left them behind. I am so glad to have you here.

    What am I seeking?

    A new member asked me a question, "What are you seeking?" Having been blessed with few communication skills I fumbled the answer. The best reply I can give is better explained by A.W. Tozer: "We pursue God because, and only because, He first put an urge within us that spurs us to the...

    You are the first one to ever ask me that question. I seek whatever it is that He is drawing me to understand. This is not for a destination, but is instead a grand adventure. No one can sound the depth, but the attempt is thrilling.

    The Mat

    We heard He was there, just a day’s walk away, The one everyone’s talking about, The one who heals, if they will just come, And sit for a moment at His feet. It’s not so far but he is big, and his mat is heavy too, That is why they asked me to help. They know I am strong and work all day long...

    Suggested Reading or Recommended Books for Christian Discipleship/Growth

    When I go to church on Sunday, we sit and listen to our Pastor teach and instruct. He follows an outline, but tries to clarify some point in scripture. After service, a small group meets to study a bible topic, usually with a study guide authored by a noted and learned bible scholar. We...

    Christian Poetry

    Edwin Markham is a favorite of mine. I found a large book in a used book store, "Masters of Religious Verse" edited by James Morrison. It is enormous, full of beautiful things from authors both known and unknown.

    The Gun Thread

    I have owned a Savage Model 110 chambered for .223 for many years. It has a heavy fluted barrel and laminated stock. I fit it with a Tasco variable scope and installed a bench follower to convert t to a single shot. It is extremely accurate and the .223 is relatively cheap to shoot. I...

    do you believe there will be another great awakening before the rapture?

    Be careful what you pray for. “The Great Awakening”, that which occurred after the American Revolution, did indeed turn many toward the church, but at what price? It was largely based on anti-authoritarian attitudes; attitudes that revolted against the structure and traditions that existed in...
