I’m Back
As those of you that a regular readers of my blog have noticed, I haven’t been posting much the last couple of months. I’ve been busy with other stuff and was sick, then my wife (who is my spiritual proof reader) was sick. Then she fell and broke a rib and was on strong pain killers [...]

In part one I dwelt on the plight of the rich man. Now I want to spend some time on Lazarus and the Jesus connection.
Scripture: Psalm 146, Luke 16:19-31, Isaiah 53:3-5
I will concentrate my story on Lazarus because I am concerned with the Lazarus’s of our lives., the lazarus of the World. We have over [...]
Heaven
(sumitted by archshrk)
A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.”
Very quietly, the doctor said, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on [...]
Why I write, who I am.
(This isn’t a new POST but I thought I’ld bring it up for the new readers to the site.)
I wasn’t going to do a bio. because I didn’t want to appear to be boasting. But the more I thought about it, the more I was convicted that unless you know the source, you would [...]
Lazarus, the Rich Man and the Bosom of Abraham.(part 1)
Read Luke 16:19-31
I found three lessons in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. The first is the lesson of the greed of the rich man and the failure to be concerned with the beggar at his door. the second is the fate of the poor, sick Lazarus and the reward of God. [...]
Return to Worship
I just finished reading a fine article in Dec. 24, 2007 issue of USNews & World report by Jay Tolson titled: “A Return to Tradition.” If you have not read it yet, go on line and do so. It is well worth your time.
While some may think that I regard traditional worship structure [...]
What if Mary Said No?

I can not count how many times I have heard that works won’t get you to heaven. I question then why did Jesus put so much effort into telling you to do works? To cause us to walk in righteous living while in this world! I’ll write about this from time to time because I [...]

MARY
Once again Christmastide comes on the scene, and once again Mary’s great speech will be overlooked by many churches. I see it as Mary being prophetic.
Luke 1:46-55, “The Magnificat of Mary”, starts with her Praising God, her rejoicing in her savior. God took notice in her, a lowly village teenager, a nobody [...]
Revere The Lord
I lost my Father and my Brother-in-Law John in the same year. The one thing I miss is the great way these two fine men loved God. My dad was a mathematician and a chemical engineer, while John was a biologist. Both of them had I.Q.s off the charts. They could [...]
