Mark 3:27, No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house. What was Jesus talking about? Who was He talking about? Mark 3:22, And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He... Continue Reading →
9/11 2022
We approach a significant day for remembrance this Sunday, September 11. Our thoughts should be drawn back to that spring morning on our east coast that claimed nearly 3,000 lives of Americans and plunged us into two wars costing thousands more and leaving tens-of-thousands wounded. Furthermore, a host of Americans today suffer PTSD and suicides mount,... Continue Reading →
The Law
There is much ado in Christendom over the place of God's Law in life, especially the Ten Commandments. This is important as we know that ALL Scripture is given by God and is profitable (II Timothy 3:16) and we know that the Law is not over us (Romans 6:14, 8:2) as it does not save (Galatians 2:16). Yet,... Continue Reading →
Queen Elizabeth
The passing of Queen Elizabeth is so large - so very Big! Thanks to God for her life and example! The Queen brought to life a strength, a calm and a prestige/dignity to a world so desperately in need of such. We live in a world of government people, business folk, and church-goers overflowing with ego, conniving and... Continue Reading →
Zephaniah 3:17
Troy noted this verse yesterday and the men talked about this verse last Thursday in their study. I here add a musing based on this verse.

The Gospel is about Jesus! It is not about church membership or attendance, giving, loving, social awareness, separation from the world or any other... Continue Reading →

Your Keys
In a recent message, pastor Tony Evans of Dallas, TX, was talking of giving your keys to a friend that might drive you home! Sounds like a familiar idea. Right? It is! Often heard in the days before New Year’s Eve is the message that if drinking, please give your keys to someone not drinking to drive you home. Why? Because,... Continue Reading →
Six Crazy Years
I recently had a call from a man in Colorado who was listening to the book, “Doc”, by Jack Olsen. It is a story that I was very much involved in, as the book reveals. The caller had googled me and called asking if my family and I still thought Doc was innocent of the hundred or... Continue Reading →
Justified Live by Faith
The just shall live by Faith! Habakkuk 2:4 The phrase that changed the world – at least moved the European world from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Age and into the Modern Age. It was that phrase quoted in Romans 1:17 that sent Martin Luther into a spin and to a new life in Jesus, which... Continue Reading →
