She had a sort of contorted smile, but we youngins did not realized why.

Will they think only of good food and gifts under theContinue reading “Christmas Traditions”
Why Jesus Came to Earth
“In the little village of Bethlehem, there lay a child one day; and the sky was bright with a holy light, O’er the place where Jesus lay. Alleluia! How the angels sang! Alleluia, how it rang! And the sky was bright, with a holy light, ‘Twas the birthday of a King.” (William Harold Neidlinger, 1863-1924)Continue reading “Why Jesus Came to Earth”
Simply Trusting Every Day
We are not through the Covid 19 pandemic that the world became acquainted with in March of 2020, a world-wide threat to life on earth that keeps morphing into variant virus strains to this hour.

Provoking One Another
If you are like me, you do not have to look for ways to provoke others; but rather I need to look for ways to NOT provoke: my wife, my children, my best friend(s), my work associates, my neighbors, fellow members of the Body of Christ and, to be sure, my Lord. What I amContinue reading “Provoking One Another”

The Merry-God-Round of Marriage
The oldest divinely established institution known to man is marriage. It began in the Garden and will continue to be the divine arrangement for happy and holy living as long as men live on this earth.

What Can Make Me Whole Again?
Some years ago, at the Great World Fair, held in the city of Chicago, there was said to be a meeting of people representing the various religions of the world. At that meeting was an old-fashioned Bible believing preacher who set out to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. To do so, he began to quoteContinue reading “What Can Make Me Whole Again?”
You Won’t See God Without It
The Bible states plainly that we should “Follow after peace with all men AND HOLINESS without which no man can see God.” (Hebs.12:14) There is nothing more important yet possibly more unappealing to most than the subject of holiness. To be sure, because some have misrepresented what holiness is, it has taken a bad rap,Continue reading “You Won’t See God Without It”
