Christmas should be a time of faith
By this evening, the Christmas tree in Pembroke will have been lit. Most of you already have put up your trees and other decorations in your homes. The Christmas season is in full swing, and I, for one, am excited about it.
We must make sure our spiritual sides are healthy
With our physical bodies, we realize they need care. When we become dirty, we wash. If we are injured or sick, we seek medical attention to take care of the problem. We see this as a must that we stay physically healthy, but are we taking care of ourselves spiritually?
Holidays give opportunities for help
Whether we realize it or not, there are needs all around us. There are people who find themselves at the mercy of others in getting their needs met. Some need little assistance while other's issues are more complicated and may need more long-term help.
Thanks should be given for all things from God
Thank you. Those are some of the most meaningful words you can ever say. Have you ever gone out of your way to do something for someone only for them to walk away without a single word? Perhaps you have thought to yourself, "He didn't even say thank you." I know that we are not supposed to do something for another in order to be recognized. But it sure does feel better when they say ...
Sin spoiled paradise, but God offers a pardon
When man was created and placed in the Garden of Eden, God's beautiful plan of creation was complete. Man giving in to Satan turned this beautiful scene into a wicked, ugly one.
Where you go matters with the Lord
I was at a doctor's office the other day and looked up and saw a sign on the wall that got my attention. It read, "When it's a matter of life or death, it matters where you go."
Make a difference with a helping hand
My wife teaches in Richmond Hill. I serve a church in North Bryan County, and we live there. Recently, someone who knows my wife made the connection between the two of us. She told my wife that she reads my column every week, and she enjoys it. I have to tell you, I was encouraged. The fact is that I have no idea who, if anyone, reads what I write. It made my day to know that someone cares.
Press on with God to top discouragement
Sometimes it seems that the end of our goals is just not in sight. In fact, some give up because they tire of the task.
The Lord knows time flies on Earth
In the last few days, several people have mentioned to me that they can't believe we are already into November; which means Thanksgiving is upon us and Christmas is just around the corner.
His world is beyond politics
Well, the election is over. Since it has been four days by now, I am certain that all of the political signs have been taken down and the landscape has returned to its natural setting.
Having a hard time finding your way in life?
Millions of people struggle through life trying to find their way on their own. They look to friends, family and others to help them along, and while they may be able to help, God has the answers for every person if they will just look into his answer book. It is a marvelous book given by the one who created man and provided his way to live in heaven throughout eternity. The psalmist recorded the ...
God rescues those who heed warnings
In recent days, the Northeast has experienced great devastation as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Many have lost property, and some have lost their lives. We need to pray for these folks and do what we can, as God directs, to assist them in their misery.
Be caring in a time of need
The Perfect Storm. Frankenstorm. Hurricane Sandy. No matter what you might call it, it has been a nightmare for many this week.
Make sure you’re on the right path with the Lord
Even in our Lord's life, men were following the words of men and not those of God. Jesus said of this, "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Men had added to the teachings of God and tried to get men to adhere to their additions as if they were from God. If this could happen when Christ walked among men, cannot it happen in our ...
Searching for a cure through Christ
More than a year ago, I started to have a small rash on my neck and treated it with a cream prescribed by my doctor. It helped some, but over time the rash has come up on other parts of my body, especially on my face.

Heed wise words of the Master

God shows wack back to salvation
God created man to worship and love him. He had prepared a place for man to dwell, providing all of man's needs. (Genesis 1, 2). In doing this, God allowed for his creation, man, to be able to decide to obey him or to follow another way (Joshua 24:15).
