After You are Converted
Karen and I attended a United Pentecostal Church (UPC) recently. Now the people were friendly enough, but I always feel uncomfortable when you go to a church for the first time and they stick a pencil or pen and questionnaire in your face wanting to know: your name,...
Commit Not Yourself
One of the greatest displays of dedication and faithfulness we can show our brothers and sisters is our commitment to them. Now I have been married for over 30 years to Karen, the best woman in the world. This is a sign of commitment not only of my love and devotion...
Givers and Takers
One thing I find so refreshing as I study (not casually read) the Scriptures especially the Gospels (John is my favorite) is that the ministry of Jesus was revolutionary and hard to handle by those who were a part of the established religious sects. Jesus’ ministry...
