shocking mercy

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15).   We have been looking at how the life of Jesus Christ makes the Gospel both reasonable and desirable. We have seen how the Good News that Jesus declared and demonstrated speaks to both the head and the heart of the listener. We saw His Searching Mercy displayed in His encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4 and His Scandalous Mercy bestowed on the unwanted, sinful woman […]

The I Witness

I

One of the games that I am usually drawn into is the game where there is a puzzle of some sort and your job is to find the hidden image or in some cases the hidden words. I always enjoy the challenge to try and see something that is normally hidden in plain sight. I guess I enjoy that about life too. Do I have an accurate assessment of myself? Do I read a situation correctly? Where am I being deceived? How can I see what God sees? Remember, one of my favorite sayings is, “patience is a weapon that […]

Franklin Graham: Standing Strong for Christ

(Comment below on what it takes to be standing strong for Christ.) In this day when the immoral pressures of our decadent culture are growing stronger and more belligerent by the moment, it’s encouraging to see those who are standing strong in Christ. That’s certainly true in the field of higher education, where the new administration in Washington is doing all it can to reverse policies put in place under President Trump to protect Christian schools grounded in Biblical convictions. The extraordinary push by the brazen LGBTQ lobby with the backing of the current administration (especially Health and Human Services […]

My God Story

my god story

My journey starts with accepting Jesus Christ into my heart on March 17, 2011. Truth be told, I wasn’t yet there with the “Lord and Savior” part. The challenge was getting traction because simply put it took years and years to even get to that starting point. I’m an all-in kinda guy, and I didn’t yet know what “in” was, but I was sure for the first time in my life it would require help beyond my reach. I mention “traction” because the Bible book itself is not set sequentially; I operate by progression much like a builder lays the […]

Abiding And Surrender

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; […]

Opposites attract when dealing with magnets. It is not that simple with humans. There are many stories of individuals who shared little in common and yet thrived when connected; much has also been written when the opposite occurred. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in the entertainment business and Bill and Melinda Gates in technology fit the bill in the latter case, while Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf in sports and the “Ragin Cajun” (James Carville) and Mary Matalin in politics have overcome their differences to enjoy long lasting relationships. Putting the secular aside, what does the Bible say about opposite […]

Imagine you’re working behind the counter of a retail pharmacy. In front of you, elderly Mrs. Jones looks on with furrowed brow while you scan the computer screen for her prescription. Behind her, two more customers wait in line, as the phones ring non-stop. “Oh, I see,” you tell Mrs. Jones. “It’s an authorization problem.” She looks up at you in confusion, while the bell sounds to tell you a drive-up customer awaits. Welcome to the busy world of retail pharmacy. Amir Rahemi, a district manager for Walgreens, has felt the stress and problems of working that pharmacy counter. Minutes […]

(Scroll down to leave a comment on this lawlessness) On April 28, my hometown of Boone, North Carolina, was shaken by a horrible tragedy that took the lives of two of our county sheriff’s deputies, Sgt. Chris Ward and K-9 Deputy Logan Fox, who were ambushed when they answered a call to check on residents. In the days following, we saw an incredible outpouring of sympathy and respect for our law enforcement men and women. When the bodies of Sgt. Ward and Deputy Fox were transported from Winston-Salem back to Boone, law enforcement personnel from numerous counties and towns, along […]

If A Sunrise Could Talk

(scroll down to leave a comment) “A very original man must shape his life, make a schedule that allows him to reflect, and study and create.” – Gary Wells   Sunrises and sunsets, both create a space for reflection. I like that because the uniqueness of the moment is so original that I tend to be more pensive and willing to listen, more apt to learn, and I find myself bending towards humility and kindness. Sunrises follow sunsets, (or is it the other way around, I’m not sure) and they appear quieter than sunsets. Sunsets are usually accompanied by a […]
