Reconciliation
He walked into the shop early on a Monday morning. With my usual greeting, I asked him, “How are you doing today?” His answer was “ I don’t know yet.” My pastor’s senses were triggered, telling me that he had some problems on his mind. I said, “ Jesus loves you, so everything is going…
No Other Name Than Jesus
Jesus is my Savior. When I was a nine-year-old boy, I reached out my hand to Him and trusted Him with my life. I didn’t understand a lot about Him. But that was okay because He understood everything about me. My faith in Him was not misplaced. He has never failed me. I have many…
Set Your House in Order
I once knew a man who became very sick. He went to the doctor for treatment. However, the doctor was unable to help him. He had an untreatable cancer and only a short time to live. What can a man do in this situation other than go home and get his house in order? This…
Worship
Children, loud and boisterous, running and jumping, they laugh loudly and giggle uncontrollably. Somebody needs to tell them to be quiet they are getting on my nerves. They are marking up the walls and scratching the floor and one of them just spilled his juice on the pew cushion. And yet the best clue we…
WOW, God Loves Me
“I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, and wonder how He could love me, a sinner condemned, unclean.” This is a line from one of my favorite old hymns. Like the writer of this old song, I am in awe of the fact that the God of all creation loves me. This…

Everybody is a Nobody Who Can be a Somebody
In Mark Chapter 5, there is a story about a woman who was a nobody. We don’t even know her name. If we had been there on this day, she would not have been in our field of vision. Seeing her would have made us uncomfortable, so we would have chosen not to see her.…
A Mothers Heart, Honoring all Ladies
She stayed at home from church today. No, she doesn’t miss church very often. She loves her church and is one of the best workers in the congregation. She is a nursery worker, she teaches children in Sunday School and she may be one of the best youth leaders the church ever had. However, today…
Mother’s Day
Towels, washcloths, Kleenex, baby wipes, dish towels, and aprons. I believe that these things could be seen as emblems of motherhood because mamas are always wiping something. They wipe stinky bottoms, snotty noses, and skinned knees and they have been known to wash a dirty face with spit and a Kleenex. Their time seems to…
