Last Sunday I preached on how Believers are the Salt of the Earth. As a change of pace, here are the sermon notes for you to look at on your leisure, but you don’t have to download anything.    Since most of my readers are believers, I can safely say: May God help you behave…

Greetings one and all. God is blessing my life in such wonderful ways! Though I am weak, and I fail, and I struggle, he continues to shower his mercy on me. Why he keeps doing it I don’t know, but he does. Father greatly blessed the message on Sunday, though I did not sense it…

    OK, at long last, I am going to write about music. A few weeks ago I shared a conversation I had with a young woman on the phone in which I told her that we encourage the young people (and all people really) at our church not to listen to CCM. (Contemporary Christian Music)…

Here are a few cool pictures of my brother Gregory. He is the youngest in our family, and has an excellent sense of humor! (I think he get’s that from me. ) Here is just a taste of his flair for the dramatic. (Especially when the camera is on.)  The “What-you-talkin’-bout, Lewis” face This is…

This post is based on some thoughts that come from Judges chapters 6 – 9. I have been studying the life of Gideon for my sermon on Sunday, and I have been impressed by this great man of God. He certainly struggled with doubts and fear, but he acted on his faith, and God greatly…

I went out on the lake yesterday. That was pretty fun! I’m really starting to get the hang of this wakeboarding thing. Slowly but surely. I think I’ve improved every time I’ve done it. It was a pleasant and relaxing evening. Thanks to my friend Jordan for taking us out. I am so very blessed…
