Send us Fan Mail There is something more important than deer hunting. You must become a follower of Jesus. Salvation is not easy, but it is not complicated either.

Send us Fan Mail I've had this hat for many years. That old felt hat has been in two countries, on two continents, in two hemispheres, and many of these United States. When it was cold, it kept my head warm; when it rained, it kept my head dry. Its broad brim shielded my eyes from the sun and often blocked the light when I took a nap. It is a good hat! Where is my hat? Losing my hat is not im...

Send us Fan Mail In the song “God Bless the USA” Lee Greenwood sings, “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died to give that right to me.” I believe this to be one of the greatest songs of all time. But in honor of all veterans, I would like to change two words. I would like to say, “I won’t forget the Ones who Served to give that right to me...

Send us Fan Mail I was twelve years old and it was the opening day of deer season. It was still dark. The sun would not even think about rising for another thirty minutes. I climbed into the deer stand as Daddy’s flashlight illuminated the boards nailed into the tree. He watched as I got settled in then handed my new Winchester 30-30 up to me. Before he walked to his stand he asked me, are you sca...

Send us Fan Mail I especially like clocks with pendulums. The swinging pendulum is marking time as it moderates and motivates the clock. With every swing of the pendulum, another second is gone. Seconds add up to minutes, minutes add up to hours and hours add up to days. This is the passage of time and time is like a great threshing machine mowing down the days of our lives. Listen to this podcast...

Send us Fan Mail We are blessed that the Bible does not answer all of our questions. We don’t know what caused Paul to suffer, so we can identify with him in our suffering. Because we know God’s grace was sufficient for Paul's thorn in the flesh, we can be sure it is sufficient for ours too.

Send us Fan Mail I want you to picture in your mind a wheel. A wagon wheel, or a bicycle wheel it doesn’t matter as long as it is a wheel with a hub, spokes and a rim.

In this devotion i compare a well functio...

Send us Fan Mail When Jesus taught people He would often use parables. The word parable means “laid alongside of or parallel to”. Jesus would use earthly examples to teach spiritual principals.

He knew that the experience of learning is ofte...

Send us Fan Mail He was not a big shot preacher.

Send us Fan Mail Early morning is best. I sit on my back porch to read, write and visit with God. Even though it is going to be hot today, the air is still cool. While the breeze whispers a peaceful melody, the birds and bugs sing the lyrics of creation. I can almost imagine that the world is at peace.

Send us Fan Mail Do you remember the old schoolyard ritual of choosing teams? Remember how the two oldest or biggest would appoint themselves captains then pick their teams.
