Where is This Road Taking You?
I asked a troubled and rebellious young man, “Do you believe in prophets?” He replied, “Yes.” I told him, “Well, I’m not one, but I can tell you your future right now because I can see the road you’re traveling on, and it’s the road that leads to jail and prison.” I...
Faith… And Microwave Ovens
A young man told me, “I shouldn’t have been baptized when I was 6 years old. I was too young and didn’t understand what I was doing.” He continued to talk about how children aren’t knowledgeable enough to make a decision of that magnitude until they get old enough to...

The POWER of the Tongue
Jesus told the disciples, “Wait in Jerusalem until you receive POWER from Heaven,” so they waited, not knowing what the POWER would look like. Perhaps some of them wondered how this POWER would be manifested. Would it be a miracle-working POWER manifested through...
Call It the Way You See It??
I’ve heard people brag about their ability to be REALISTIC by saying, “I just call things the way I see them.” Now, why would somebody brag about something like that? It takes no special ability, insight or talent to “call things the way you see them.” It takes no...
You’re Just Gonna Have to Forget About That!
My dog, Archie, and I were returning home from our walk one morning and, as usual, Archie was pulling on his leash trying to get out ahead of me. Suddenly, without any warning, he took a detour from the pathway as if being pulled by an unseen force. Actually, it...
