Our Father’s Business
Part of the reason I love being in the woods or fishing is so that I can watch the handiwork of God. I appreciate the colors on a fall day, the lack of city sounds and the animals that do not worry about where they will sleep, what they will wear or where their next…

UNDER THE FATHER’S PROTECTION
There is an old saying about difficult times, “Any port in a storm”. This quote was written by John Cleland in 1749 and the saying suggests that during difficult times you do not need a perfect solution, you just need a solution for the moment. While this thought may work well for some, it does…

The Heart of the Father
When we look at the life of Jesus and his ministry of three and one half years, we see a process in which Jesus develops relationships with his disciples and the many followers that were around him.

Who do you fear?
So you are driving down the road…you are wearing your seatbelt… doing the speed limit… not texting and you are in the correct lane. You come around the curve and you see a cop or should we say …YOU SEE A COP! What was your first reaction? Many find themselves gasping at first … then…

The only sign that Matters
As one who has lived many years in the “spirit filled” churches, the one thing that so many clammer about is “signs”. Many good hearted Christians want a sign from God for whatever reason. While feeding 5000, walking on water, healing the sick and even raising the dead are miraculous signs……. There is only one…
