Have you ever been on a long journey that was unorganized and full of twists, turns and obstacles? Maybe you considered that an adventure! I love a good adventure but you must be aware of the potential for disaster. It’s very easy to be led down the wrong path, and then before you know it, you […]

It’s Paid

by Brad

What a cold and messy few days we experienced last week. While being a guy that loves Spring, Summer, and Fall, I’ll be honest; I’m not a fan of Winter. I do love that God created our world with changing seasons, I just don’t like the mess that we are left with once the snow […]

“Action”

by Brad

Are you ready for Valentines Day? It’s a valid question, don’t you think? After all, it’s about love! And you know what, love is important! The Bible has a lot to say on this subject and tells us in, 1 John 3:18 “My children, our love should not be only words and talk. Our love […]

Wow, did you watch the Super Bowl Sunday afternoon? It was one of the greatest championship games I have seen in a long time! Finally, a king has been crowned in the NFL. Now, I’m not a New England Patriots fan but I give them props. Do you know why the Patriots won the game […]

A drunkard husband, spending the evening with his associates at a tavern, boasted that if he took a group of his friend’s home with him at midnight and ask his Christian wife to get up and cook supper for them, she would do it without complaint. The men considered it a hopeless boast and dared […]

Self-Control

Everybody struggles with self-control. We all wish we had more of it. I heard a story about a little boy in Sunday school who was taken out in the hall by his teacher because he had been disrupting the class. The teacher spoke to him about the importance of the fruit of the Spirit. She […]

GOOD-NESS

by Brad

Growing up I loved the Andy Griffith Show. While all the episodes were wonderful, I remember one episode that taught a great lesson about “Goodness.” In this episode, the people of Mayberry were laughing at Barney because early that morning he tried to arrest the bank president who was unlocking the door to his own […]
