Your bloodline versus His

“When is it okay to turn your back on your family?” Being related to someone doesn’t mean we have to be enslaved to that person, specially when you are asked to perform ungodly duties. I was asked to make sense of abuse and misuse earlier this week and found myself immersed in familiar territory when […]

You can be Born again!

My daughter Grace had her first birthday earlier this week and also took her first steps on that same day. Elizabeth and I shed tears of joy on Friday and praise God for this wonderful gift! However the immense joy of our child’s first birthday was shadowed by revelations from family and dear friends, testimonies […]

Quit Smoking or face God’s Wrath

My good friend Roger visited with us earlier this week before heading back to Celebration where he will be staying the next few months. Roger, a long time follower of Jesus Christ has finally been blessed to live in Central Florida, one of his life long dreams. It is greatly unfortunate he is here for […]

Homosexuals don’t deserve Eternal Life – No one does!

My friend John and I often discuss controversial Christian issues, he’s a good friend, bible savvy and quite opinionated. Earlier this week during one of our animated conversations, he asked me “Do you think Christian homosexuals go to Heaven?” “Depends!” I answered. “It depends on whether or not they have been born again and, if […]

There is a Hell and it’s waiting for You

There is a Hell and it’s doors are wide open. Unlike Heaven, the fiery bottomless pit that is Hell does not discriminate. Entrance to Hell is free to anyone and everyone. Many modern churches prefer not talk about Hell. Too many preachers avoid the subject all together fearing to discourage their audiences more so than […]

Work less on Earth, Earn more toward Heaven

My friend John is a business owner and fellow Christian. Both his parents are righteous devoted missionaries traveling the world spreading God’s word. John is not only bible savvy, he’s a solid witness himself. Earlier this week during a conversation, John said something that struck me. “God blesses me with skills so I can make […]

When Anger and Hate attack us

God blessed Elizabeth and I with a most wonderful summer weekend even though we were both witnesses to pure hatred brought on by the devil. Early Saturday morning after parking the minivan at Hyde Park I was victim of unbelievable slander. A man driving a shinny new Ford Expedition SUV asked me to move my […]

Turn Waiting into Worship

I’ve read that by the time our life on earth is over, we will have spent close to one year waiting at stop lights, two years stuck in traffic or sitting in public transit and three years waiting in line for one thing or another. Why not spend that time with God? Turning life’s most […]

Investing in God’s 401K

Our close friend Stephan is a financial advisor. Twice a year when I become eligible to participate in my 401K, he lists at least a dozen reasons why I should open the account. He has done this for the past three years. He is absolutely right; independently of saving for our daughter’s future, we should […]

I will not be Shaken

I will not be shaken. No matter how bad things get, and they probably will, I will not turn from God’s light. No matter how troubling the world become around me and in spite of the inducement to give in to temptation, I will not be broken. Weakened by a recent physical challenge, I find […]
