Never Give Up!
Jesus told us in Luke 18:1, “Always pray, and never give up” (NLT). Other versions say …become discouraged (HCSB), or …lose heart (NKJV), or …keep praying until the answer comes (TLB). This is how Jesus began His parable about a widow who kept going to a certain judge asking for justice against her enemy. This…
Read MoreWe Will Remember
What do you think of when you hear the number 1.25 million? It’s a substantial number, but more significant is the fact that 1.25 million people believed in America so deeply they were willing to die for Her. And so we remember. For example, we will remember that: Over 7,000 U.S. troops have died in…
Read MoreWhy Pray Continually?
Why pray continually? Doesn’t God hear our prayer the first time? Why do we sometimes have to pray the same thing over and over and over? We walk in a dangerous place. Sometimes deceptively beautiful, but the war between good and evil rages on because the enemy (satan) is relentless. You may be facing a…
Read MoreOur God is a Mighty Fortress
What does it mean that God is a mighty fortress? While I appreciate hymns very much, I like the simpler language and musical style of the contemporary Christian music.

VIDEO VERSION OF THIS BLOG: https://youtu.be/BEgBlRviXP4 Who or what carries you when the road of life is long and hard? Perhaps you’ve heard Christians comment, “I don’t know how non-believers do life without Christ.” Perhaps you’ve said it yourself, as I have. Today is one of those days. What would I do if I wasn’t…
Read MorePrayer Is Not Cancelled!
It’s been a grueling year, hasn’t it? As though the virus and lockdowns weren’t enough, the presidential campaign has been just as disturbing. I know we’re all worn out. Perhaps we could use a little encouragement, and there’s no better place to find it than through prayer and God’s Word. There’s only one thing on…
Read MorePrayerdemic Prayers – Heaven’s Armies Are Not Cancelled
During my son’s 13-year drug addiction, I was encouraged by a statement a friend made about “angels fighting with swords” for my son. Do you think angels were really fighting for my son?
