How safe are your valuables? Thieves can break into bank vaults and safe deposit boxes. However, Jesus made a promise that He could make a 100% guarantee that they are safe with Him. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But […]
I hate rollercoasters; I refuse to ride them. Plunging down a steep slope, only to experience extreme G-forces at the bottom, has no attraction for me. In my estimation, the price of a ticket is a waste of money. When I hear the term “roller coaster,” I imagine trying to ride out a coastal earthquake […]
There has been a debate for a long time on whether the rapture happens before, during, or after The Tribulation. I’m not going to die on this hill, but I thought I’d share my perspective. We are not supposed to argue, especially over the timing of future events, but it’s good to see if what […]

Everyone in this world wants to be loved. Each of us needs a friend with whom we can share the joys of the good times and the hurts of the bad times. This blog is about having that kind of friendship with God. The message of the Bible can be condensed to the phrase, “You […]
Inflation is ruining the pocketbooks of many homes, as the prices of everything are rising sky high. Families are struggling to pay for gasoline, food, electricity, and housing. In the future, there will be spiritual inflation, in which the cost of following Jesus will be astronomically high. God revealed king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to Daniel. In […]
There is a lot of controversy about climate change, the use of fossil fuels, and the condition of the earth. Some state that we are on the verge of making the earth uninhabitable for human life. Others would disagree. I’m not here to give you my opinions, but to highlight what the Bible says. Jesus […]
As people in Ephesus heard the gospel and received Christ, their lives were radically changed for the better. However, not everyone was happy with the changes. It resulted in a loss of revenue for the metalworkers who fashioned small idols of the goddess Diana. Because she was no longer worshiped, the clientele of the metalworkers […]
