NOT JUST ANY PORT IN THE STORM

We're heading back to the spot just before Jesus lead Peter back into the boat. Last time, we discussed how Peter had battled through a dark tempestuous night out in the middle of the wide open sea, at a time when it was truly man versus nature, without any of the modern nautical equipment around today and at the …

OF MADMEN, MARTYRS AND MAIDS: PART 3 MARYTRS

The fire which burned in all these was so bright, so strong that not even death could extinguish it. About 200 A.D. when the persecution was at full force and Christians were being persecuted left and right. If they would not renounce Jesus Christ, they were often burned or thrown to lions or other animals …

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THAT

I love old sayings, people long ago learned lessons and passed that wisdom down to forewarn future generations. Ministers are like front line soldiers discovering what's in the enemies arsenal and reporting back to the troops what weapon is needed to take them down. Some of the wisest words ever spoken were, "With friends like …

COLLECT CALL FROM EGYPT: “WILL YOU ACCEPT THE CHARGES?”

Ever wonder what Moses went through? You know, being a prince of Egypt, brought up as an Egyptian, taught by them, trained by them and having close family bonds with them. Moses had all of Egypt laid at his feet all that was required of him in order to live a lavish life of riches …

Tallying of Time

"To EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time to EVERY PURPOSE under the heaven: A time to be born (to bear), and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and  a time to heal; a time to break down, and …

Swimming Practice

Like most, I have been spending many evenings during this big nasty heat wave checking out the Olympics. Last night an American broke a world record and of course won gold. What was fascinating is that if you walked in late during the race it would have appeared that she was actually BEHIND the others because …

NUMBERED: MAKING THE BEST OF EVERY DAY

CHICKS LOG: STAR DATE: DECEMBER 27 2015.  Sentimentally looking for the approaching 2016 and as most of us welcome a new year. One more shot to get right things that maybe did not go as planned. Another chance to make something right and do the work of the kingdom. A New Year filled with perhaps …

PSALM 136:10-16

"To HIM that smote Egypt in their firstborn in their firstborn: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER: And brought out Israel from among them; FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER: With strong hand, and with a stretched out arm; FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER. TO HIM which DIVIDED THE RED SEA into parts FOR HIS …

Sticks and Stones #3 “Blood Transfusion”

Family night at Ye Olde Drama Ville Theater is never a one-act play and no one wants tickets to that dreadful show anyway. The script is just too predictable, the outcome a certainty, someone is always gonna go away hurt while another revels in their glory of being alpha male, while everyone stands by as …

“GO FOR THE GOLD BUT PLEASE, HOLD THE JADE”

Ah, Jaded. What a lovely word, normally a beautiful stone used to adorn beautiful things. but in the right context, not quite so lovely on us. We are to press toward the mark, to earn the crown of righteousness to one day lay at the Master's feet, beautiful I am sure, pure gold just like His …

REST IN THE RECKONING

I can't seem to get the image of James Foley out of my head, and it's not just him... it is all of them. Abducted, unmercifully tortured, and paraded off to be savagely executed by demonic, twisted sadistic butchers to gain media attention for their truly hopeless cause. Hiding their faces behind their masks of …
