Whisper a prayer for those in need
This past weekend I spent a lot of time at our booth at the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival. As usual there were crowds of people walking in front of our booth.
We need to use the tools we get from God
Just like tools we use in all other aspects of life, the Bible is a tool. A carpenter needs a hammer, a cook needs pans, a painter needs brushes, and a Christian needs a Bible.
Children of God
It is amazing, both in the Old Testament as well as the New, how many times followers of God are referred to as "Children of God." The Apostle Paul even calls new Christians "babes" or "infants."
How to walk with God (part 2)
Last week we started looking at the topic, "how to walk with God," we now continue those thoughts. God does not ask us to do the things He asked the Patriarchs to do, nor the things that were required of those under the Law of Moses. We are told to do the things that are right or necessary for us to be saved. All three time periods mesh together (Gal. 3:16 – 29).
Rain and spirituality
In the last month or so we have received quite a bit of rainfall; raining almost every day this week alone. Not long ago it was reported that we were several inches below normal for the year and believe it or not some local areas still are a little behind. (Definitely not my area.) As I listen to others talk, it seems that they understand that we need rain but they only want it when it will be convenient to their schedule.
Are you still around, Lord?
There is a story in the Old Testament of the Bible where a prophet named Elijah is about ready to leave this world.
How to walk with God (part one)
Recorded in Genesis 5:24 are the words, "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
Changing seasons
This weekend will bring about a new season which some call fall while others call autumn. As we move away from the summer season we will see a lot of changes beginning to take place.
'I want all to go'
Last year was the first year that all my family did not get to go home for the holidays. Oh I knew one day it would happen with everyone growing up and getting jobs, but still it just did not seem right to know that all my family would not be with me. In fact it made me sad.
Heaven awaits the prepared
Those who believe in God and have studied the Bible much at all know that one day God's children will go to heaven.
Some good advice
One of the things I remember my father always saying to me was "unloaded guns kill a lot of people." I used to argue with him telling him that it is impossible for an unloaded gun to kill anyone since it was unloaded. He would respond with, "you know what I mean," and I did. For what he was really saying is that guns, which were supposedly empty, killed people because when they ...
Whom will you serve (part 1)
The account of the Israelites taking the land of Canaan is some of the most action packed parts of the Old Testament.
‘I thought I saw a snake’
Tweety bird was alarmed every time she saw Sylvester the cat around her cage and said those famous words, "I tot I saw a puttycat." Well the other day as I was taking a 5 mile walk down the road and I suddenly noticed something just off of the pavement that looked like a snake. The color was right and the shape was curved just like a snake crawling across the ground. My ...
Lessons from Vick
In the last few months Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons star quarterback, has gone from a sports hero to a distaste in many people's mouths. He had been accused of participating in the horrible sport of dog fighting. At first he denied that he was involved at all but recently has agreed to pleading guilty. This leads me to my first point; there are many who deny that they have sinned ...
Things we need to watch (part 2)
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak," (Mat 26:41 KJV).

Heed wise words of the Master

God shows wack back to salvation
