  • Everything Has Its Time

    Thomas

    , , , , , , , ,

    There is one section of scripture that everyone, believers and non-believers alike, have heard at one time or another. But the interpretation of those words by the two is as different as night and day. For the non-believer it’s “fate,” a life of wishes, fears, worry, anger, envy, and disappointment. For the believer it’s “faith,” a life of… Read more

  • Separated

    Thomas

    I was going over my notes and thoughts on teaching Acts 13 this evening and I was struck by a profound truth that the Lord keeps bringing back to me. But this time He wrapped it two words… Saul/Paul. Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas… Read more

    Providence is an interesting word. Read more

  • Little Train Or A Little Boat?

    Thomas

    , , , , ,

    As a small boy my favorite story, which I asked my mom to read to me over and over, was The Little Engine That Could. I somehow took the message of that book to heart and it became “the watchword” in my life… I think I can, I think I can? I grew up believing that I could do… Read more

  • IOU

    Thomas

    Diane and I have continued to work to keep ourselves debt free. Sometimes it seems like an endless task. Just when we get there, some unforeseen obligation comes up; sometimes it’s because we chose to incur it. But nevertheless, it seems that throughout our married life we have always owed something to someone. Well, I… Read more

  • Pierced

    Thomas

    Today, piercing is as common as a “cold.” It used to be that women only pierced their ears, but now it’s a different story. And it seems to me that something very important has been lost in the message that piercing delivers. Zech 12:10(a) … and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.… Read more

  • Sacrifice… Do We Honor It?

    Thomas

    As Americans, the majority of us honor those who have given their lives to ensure that we continue to enjoy the freedom we have been given. But deeper than that, those who have fought side-by-side have a much deeper appreciation of sacrifice. For them it is personal. The life that was given was to save… Read more

  • What’s In The Backyard?

    Thomas

    Jer 18:1-2 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. KJV We’re all very familiar with this Word from the Lord to Jeremiah. I’ll bet we have all heard may sermons concerning the clay on the… Read more

  • Dead Man Walking

    Thomas

    What is it with all the infatuation with Zombies? Perhaps it’s just my age but I don’t get it. Then again, after some reflection this morning I think perhaps the Lord put it in perspective. Paul struggled with a “thorn in his side” that theologians have tried to discover since he admitted it (2 Cor… Read more

  • How Can We Be More Than?

    Thomas

    Rom 8:36-37 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Paul quotes David here in verse  36 (Ps 44), where David was crying out to God concerning… Read more
