Do you know that one of the most debilitating things in life is baggage? Baggage is great for air travel, but I’m talking about mental, emotional and social baggage. That kind of baggage is a problem in life, because we are creatures who tend to hold onto baggage and even nurture it along. If we would let go of ours, we would have much better relationships, accomplish much more and have so much more joy in life! Yet, we like to hold on and it weighs us down. Continue reading →

Here in Central Indiana, we’re enjoying cold conditions like much of the rest of the country.  The high today is supposed to be a wimpy -11 degrees Fahrenheit.  Wimpy, only because that is not nearly as cold as several other states, just cold for Indiana. Continue reading →

Phil Robertson always speaks his mind in a clear and concise way. He even does a good job of quoting Scripture where he can. He often is a great spokesman for the cause of Christ.

I like to be right.  I’m often looking for the right answer, because I would like to be right. My Father and Lord are righteous, so that is only natural. It just seems like a life-time is necessary to learn everything.  That makes life interesting. Continue reading →

There is a new trend going around in the big cities of NYC and DC – it is called the “knockout” game. It has also spread west to Detroit and St. Louis, but also to small towns like Peoria and Indianapolis.

From the beginning of Scripture to the end, there is a “unity” theme about the Godhead. In the beginning, you observe the Trinity in the hovering of God’s Spirit over the frozen ice pack in Genesis 1:2 and the Father’s will and judgment in Genesis 3:10-14 and the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ as the seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15.

The phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” has been attributed to Andy Warhol who said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”1 In our culture of social media, tabloids and internet news, the sensational explosions of a person bursting on the scene are sent light-speed around the world in the time it takes a match to burn down.
