The Perfect 3-Point Sermon
“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly. But since we see that abhorrence, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little—even at the risk of being heroes.” —Sir Thomas More, from the play, A…

You Shoulda Known Ray
I wish you could have known this man. I met him when I was fifteen years old and suicidal, and within minutes everything in my life changed. Five years before I was a ten-year-old avowed atheist living with my parents in Sacramento, California. I had a passion for nature and the outdoors—an aspiring forest ranger…

God Saw What You Did…
What is ‘righteousness’? It’s when God saw what you did and says, “My Son would do that,” Of course, that’s impossible—so God works to make us like His Son, and along the way He even treats us like Him. Quite overwhelming… Blessings. —j

Who Claims the Body?
(A bit of wisdom from my dear friend Ken Needham) “While the surgeons and most of the nursing staff were excellent, there were a couple of exceptions—people who had some knowledge and experience who “knew what was best for me” but were not listening to me. It is MY body. I have inhabited it all…

POTD: Repenting from ‘Stuff’
Has the stuff of earth obscured the face of God? Let’s pray… O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may…

POTD: There’s Rest in this Prayer
You’ve read it before, time to pray it—and rest… Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I…

POTD: A Prayer to Hear God’s Voice
When you pray, listen—you may hear music. Let’s pray… Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, ‘Speak, for thy servant heareth.’ Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy Voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of…
