The “Word” Became Flesh
I am a very big believer in the POWER OF WORDS. Having said that, however, I’d like to offer the following observation. When God wanted to create the Earth and the Universe it was a simple process… He spoke WORDS… and whatever He spoke came into existence. He showed...
Daddy’s Chair
When I was a kid growing up in the Lane household the five of us kids could sit at any chair at the supper table we wanted to… any chair, that is, except for the chair at the head of the table. That was my Father’s chair. It was just understood. He was the head of the...
Blind Bartimaeus… Seeing Bartimaeus
Do you realize just how close the story of Blind Bartimaeus came to not appearing in the Bible? As the story goes, Jesus was passing through Bartimaeus’ hometown and a multitude of people gathered around Him. Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by so he repeatedly...

I am a BELIEVER
I am a BELIEVER. I carry that name with reverence and humility. Yes, I am called BELIEVER… not FEELER, for I am led by what I believe and not what I feel. Many times my feelings take a back seat to the things I believe. Emotions can be wonderful… they can manufacture...
Revelation from a Stain
The year was 1987. I was at my home church, Trinity Chapel, on Sunday morning and we were observing Communion. The Communion trays were being handed out as I sat on the pew next to my friend Ronnie Crites. It was a somber and solemn moment as we reflected on the death...
When a Slave Becomes a King
Why did it take the children of Israel 40 years to enter into the Promised Land? I’ve heard many good explanations, and would like to add just one more for consideration. Proverbs 30:21-22 tells us, “Under three things the earth quakes, And under four, it cannot bear...
