Notice in the following Scripture that our Creator put Himself on record as giving his man Adam a choice? What a tremendous and terrible choice it was: one choice would lead to life, the other to death. But in spite of the warning, Adam chose wrong! I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set…

Years ago I made a trip to Germany with a dear friend. I want to share with you some highlights of that wonderful adventure of being led by God’s Spirit, sharing the faith, love, and peace from God we’d experienced, watching it touch the lives of hurting people. Before leaving home, we had no idea what God had in store…
We live in a culture that has drifted far from the idea of faith in God. In fact, it seems we gave up God decades ago for the idea of “settled science.” We do not believe that there is a God who can make his words known to us. Recently I read Russian historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s conclusion after studying the…
Why is it that God is always calling His people out? He spoke to Abraham and said,” Come out from among your brethren.” Later He called His people to be different from the people of the world. In the New Covenant, he tells us to come out from among them and be not like them. Hence, let us go out…
Today I am 82 years old, born on St. Nicholas Day, December 6, 1939. St. Nicholas, a 4th century Greek bishop, would commonly leave coins in people’s shoes at night and dedicated his entire life to serving people who were sick and suffering. Perhaps I should have left my shoes outside last evening, in hopes of receiving a gift in…
Following is a guest blog post by my friend Ralph Nault: Being satisfied is a wonderful thing. Pauline and I are very blessed because we are satisfied with what we have. We do not have a lot by worldly measure, but we do have everything we need. Does having everything you need satisfy you? Then what more do you need?…
Today we celebrate. My book on forgiveness is now available in German on Amazon. Many thanks to all of the people who helped make this German translation possible! I also owe a debt of gratitude to the German veterinarian who attended our retreat in Austria. After I spoke on biblical forgiveness, he excitedly said, “Now I understand what’s wrong with…
Why do you think St. Paul began his letters with, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus”? Because we need grace! I need it every day, and many times throughout my day. But many Christians do not know what grace is, recognize it when it comes, or realize it is something they can ask…
In preparing for my new e-group on Zoom, “Understanding Dreams,” I came across dreams President Abraham Lincoln and President Lyndon Johnson had while in office. Feeling appalled about what is happening in Afghanistan, I wonder if anyone in our White House today dreams? President Lincoln Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his death about two weeks before his assassination: “Around the coffin…
