UNOCCUPIED
Several times in the New Testament it is recorded that Jesus cast demons out of people. There were people who had a single demonic spirit cast out of them on several occasions, and there is mention of one man who had a “legion” of spirits cast out of him. But, there...
ADVICE FOR FATHERS
A few years ago a friend was telling me about some of his difficulties in raising his young son. He said the boy’s grades were good and he was well-behaved for the most part, but that he tended to be a little bit selfish and had a lack of concern for others. With a...
DAYS OF CREATION
Take a moment to consider this today … the Bible says that "nothing is too difficult" for God (Jeremiah 32:17). Therefore, He could have conceivably finished all of Creation in just one single day. Instead, He chose to take six days, dividing His work into segments of...
YOU ARE MINE
On my way home from my walk one morning, when I was about 150 yards away from my house, I could see my dog Archie in the front yard, wagging his tail, waiting on me to get to our yard. But, as I passed by our across-the-street neighbor’s house, I saw their dog Pete...

God is COUNTING on YOU!
One billion .... that's 1,000,000,000 ... it's an awfully big number. How big is it? Well, it would take approximately 31 years to count from one to one billion (giving one second to count each number along the way). Now, there are 8 billion people living on planet...
“My Dad is Gonna Kill Me!” – (A Testimony about the power of prayer)
A few years ago, I had a Back-to-School Pool Party for my Elementary kids at church. One of the boys had been swimming in the pool for a couple of minutes when I heard him say, "Oh no! My Dad is gonna KILL ME!" He got out of the pool and reached in his bathing suit...
