Advice has to be one of the most affordable form of wealth available to man. More often than not, advice is even free! Why then do so many among us ignore good advice? I can remember countless times when I should have listened to good advice yet didn’t. I am also proud to admit I […]

Be grateful for God’s all mighty grace
Earlier this week a warm front from the Gulf of Mexico clashed with a cold air current coming to us from the northern states. The clear, temperate weather unexpectedly turned gray and humid, and finally gave way to torrential downpours and dazzling lightning bolts typical of the midafternoon summer storms. The Tampa Bay sewer systems […]
Are all obese people Gluttons?
A little over two years ago, I wrote a message about gluttony. Out of frustration more than motivation, I lashed out on the obese and overweight senselessly. I am glad to say I’ve come a long way since July 2003 and now feel ready to deal with obesity and gluttony… First and foremost, let me […]
In a fight no one ever wins
I once read this story about these two crows caught in a fierce battle by the side of the road. With feathers flying, they attacked each other with great fury ignoring cars nearby. As a car approached, they became locked in combat. Together they rose in the air and fluttered blindly into the path of […]
Sharing your Testimony
Earlier today in our apologetics class, Steven, a new student, shared his testimony and explained how he went from addict to servant of God while listening to a radio show in his truck.

Sure it sounds like it would do anything but give me assurance and by itself, God’s wrath shouldn’t give me assurance of heaven but in reality, it brings a feeling of peace […]

More importantly, I am targeting the hypocrites among us, you know the ones who run around complaining that God overlooks them, […]
Christian, not Religious
“Nothing will drive you to hell faster than religion!” Our church’s senior pastor was quite precise about the fact too many church goers attend only Christmas and Easter services and fool themselves into a false sense of spiritual security. The fact is these same folks are the ones who give Christianity a bad name. These […]
What God wants for Christmas
With Christmas only one week away you would think all my shopping would be done– Wrong! I’m one of those clueless people who wait until the last minute to buy Christmas gifts often walking away empty handed, seems everyone looks for the same things and by the time I get around to the mall, everything […]
From Milk to Cookies
Earlier this week my wife Elizabeth and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. We decided to make it a special day even though our special day fell on a Tuesday so we went on a date to Clearwater Beach, where we were married on December 6, 2003. Since I first met my darling wife I […]
