guilty-as-chargedOne Mile An Hour Over The Speed Limit

When I was in my early twenties, I was caught driving 56 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone on my way to church! The highway patrolman was upset with me because he had written me a previous ticket for going way too fast and I hired an attorney who pleaded it down to 75 mph and that kept me from losing my license at the time. The highway patrolman was mad at me because he knew I should have lost my license from the previous speeding incident. Even if he hadn’t of been upset with me, he still had every right to give me a ticket for going 1 mile per hour over the speed limit. I broke the law. There was nothing I could do except pay the fine. I was guilty as charged. [Read more…]

I Believe in Jesus

I believe in Jesus. What does this statement really mean? What does it mean to you? These may sound like silly questions, but I’m being quite serious. I wear glasses. I can say that I believe in glasses, but until I actually put them on they won’t help me see any better. In other words, I can believe in my glasses but they don’t benefit me until I actually put them on. [Read more…]

Are You Good Enough for God to Save You?

Leave a Comment

I have a friend who knows that he needs Jesus. Unfortunately, my friend thinks that he has to “clean up his act” before God will accept him. I wish my friend could realize the true nature of God. God is righteous, Holy and just. God is perfect. It’s too bad that my friend doesn’t realize that he can never measure up to God’s standard. The Bible says that there is none righteous, no not one. None of us have kept all of the 10 Commandments in thought, word and deed, so we can can never measure up to God’s standard. The Bible also states that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8). Again, we cannot meet God’s standard on our own. [Read more…]

We Don’t Do Guilt

I drove by a church a while back and they had a sign out by the road that said, “We don’t do guilt.” Isn’t that nice? That sounds great. I mean, even when I am guilty of doing something wrong, I don’t like to feel guilty. Who does? So we don’t do guilt sounds really good. [Read more…]

Bench Warmer

I absolutely love sports, but I am not good at any of them. I am not even a very good arm chair quarterback. I was the type of kid that was usually picked last or close to it when teams were choosing sides. So I know I a thing or two about bench warming. That’s where I spent most of my limited sports career. I was a bench warmer. [Read more…]

American Idol

Do you watch American Idol? I have watched it a few times and I’m always impressed with the talented singers who compete. I personally think it’s cruel how they make fun of some of the singers at the beginning of the season. But the competition really heats up by the end of the season. [Read more…]

No More Condemnation

I thought I was saved, spiritually born again at age 11. I now know that I was not saved back then. I only truly became a follower of Jesus Christ about three years ago. How can I be so sure that I was a false convert when I was 11 years old? [Read more…]

Repentance: When Sorry Isn’t Enough

2 Comments

When my youngest daughter gets into trouble she says “sawree”. What she is trying to say is that she’s sorry, but she says it quickly, flippantly and with no real feelings or meaning. Repentance means more than just saying your sorry. True repentance is more than saying your sorry and really meaning it. True repentance means turning away from your sins and turning toward God.
