Hi Friend, It’s no accident that the Founding Fathers saw God’s hand in the exodus of America from England and the exodus of Israel from Egypt as parallel events.  Even a casual reader of the Bible or an armchair historian can recognize the astounding similarities. When a group of historians

Hi Friend, The most popular series from a well-known magazine was entitled “My Most Unforgettable Character.”   The concept left an indelible impression on me.  One of the unforgettable people in my life was a former prisoner of Bergen Belsen, a Nazi Concentration Camp.  I invited him to lunch and

Hi Friend, Have you ever been lost in the woods?  Dan Fogelberg made popular the hit song “Run for the Roses” that tells the story of a horse that was born and raised among the rolling hills and green valleys of Western Kentucky.  It’s personally nostalgic because I grew up

Hi Friend, On the rare occasions that the television is on in our house I am amazed at the frequent advertisements for prescription drugs.  It’s the disclosure of side effects following the sales pitch that is staggering.  Can a disease be worse than the side effects of taking the drug?

Hi Friend, To say that Washington D.C. is the capitol of the United States does not adequately credit the universal influence of such a great city.  For over two hundred years it has been a beacon of freedom to huddled masses around the world suffering under the tyranny of despotism.

Hi Friend, Have you ever discovered something new that had been right in front of your eyes for years? Something so plain you wonder “why” you ever missed it in the first place. That happened to me many years ago when I was reading Matthew 19:28. An upright young man

Hi Friend, Of all nations on earth that exist or ever have existed there is not one with a history as illustrious as that of Israel.  That’s because Israel was formed by God as His own country.  Most people know of the nation that exists in the Middle East today,

Hi Friend, It was the turn of the millennium for my one and only visit to the Mother Land where I was invited to speak at the Feast of Tabernacles in York, England.  Among the impressive sights were the remnants of ancient civilizations.  Ancient to me was Freedom Hall in

Hi Friend, Does it bother you just a little when the men and women in Congress announce that they have passed a bill which will cost the American citizen a trillion dollars—or two or five?  Tax Freedom Day is the day that the money we earn goes into our pockets

Hi Friend, The aeronautical instructors at Florida Institute of Technology used to pepper us with stories of death and destruction.  Every session, whether ground school or flight training, had stories of what could happen if you did not do something the right way.  Sometimes we would leave the classroom thinking

Hi Friend, Does Christianity have a positive impact on the economy of a nation?  If biblical teachings lay the foundation for a financially viable country, then national leaders ought to encourage citizens to embrace Judeo-Christian ethics.  In fact, colleges and universities should require students to study the Bible to learn

Hi Friend, If you, as a Christian, get a little depressed seeing the world around you becoming increasingly corrupt, take heart. A study by two doctoral candidates at the University of Illinois in Champagne/Urbana says Christians are happier than atheists. When you’re having a bad day just remember that it’s

Hi Friend, The tendency for each generation is to think the world has always been the way it is when their generation arrived on the scene.  It is nearly impossible for a millennial to conceive of a world without a cell phone, a computer or internet, or central air, or

Hi Friend, One of the fascinating things about piloting a private plane is the marvel of natural law.  No matter how many times my hands grasped the yoke of the small Cherokee 140, as I lined up at the end of the runway and pushed the throttle full forward, it

Hi Friend, She was an unforgettable person—even years later she is emblazoned on my mind.  Her name was Goerta, whom I met while walking the dogs—or the grand-dogs, since we were dog sitting while the kids were on a business trip. I noticed an older lady making her way to

Hi Friend, Aimee Semple McPherson is not familiar to most people today even though she was the first of the radio prophets—and THE first female radio evangelist.  In the ‘20’s her sermons were heard across America every Sunday night. In the early days of radio there was only one frequency.

Hi Friend, June is reported to be the month for marriages.  Over the years our congregation has celebrated many.  The brides were beautiful, the grooms were handsome, and the families were beaming with pride. It is the way it’s supposed to be! What is so important about marriage anyway?  Why

Hi Friend, It’s been said that if all the statements attributed to Abraham Lincoln were compiled into one work, there would be more quotes than he could have said in his lifetime.  We are forced to conclude that Lincoln did not say all the things people have attributed to him.
