Two Sorry Men

Recently we celebrated Easter – on Resurrection Sunday. We celebrated the fact that Jesus rose from the grave. Jesus lived a sinless life and died a horrific death for sinners like you and me. He always obeyed the will of God the Father. He willingly laid down His life – no man took it from Him. He suffered God’s wrath, God’s anger over our sin (the sin of those who put their trust in Jesus) as He hung on that cruel cross. He died and rose victoriously three days later. Thank you Jesus for your wonderful sacrifice! [Read more…]

One of my best friends in high school was in a bad fight one time and he was really badly beaten up. The other kid had just moved to Lebanon, MO (my hometown) from somewhere in California. I don’t remember how the fight even started. It may have been that California was flirting with my friend’s girlfriend. [Read more…]

Does God Hear Your Prayers?

Today, I want to ask you if you think God hears your prayers. Does God hear your prayers? Well, if you are a God-hating atheist, then obviously God doesn’t hear your prayers because you don’t even pray. If you did pray at all, then you couldn’t call yourself an atheist. So God does not hear atheists because they don’t pray. [Read more…]

Running in Circles

My family and I have four cats. One of them is literally crazy. I call her crazy eyes. This crazy cat actually chases her own tail. I really think that she thinks that she can catch it. You’ve probably seen a dog or a cat do this same thing. It looks funny when they run around in circles. I also remember when I was a kid several of us would spin around until we made ourselves dizzy and fell down. We would literally run around in circles and we thought it was fun. [Read more…]

It’s great to see you all and I hope you had a great time on spring break. Did any of you get to go to a really exotic place on spring break? Did any of you get to go to a really cool place?

Ignorance is Not Bliss

We’ve all heard the saying that “ignorance is bliss.” There are times when I know things that I really wish that I didn’t know them or I wish that I could “un-know” them, but it doesn’t work that way. Besides, most of the time ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance just puts off the inevitable. If there was a sinkhole under your house that could collapse at any moment; wouldn’t you want to know this fact as soon as possible? [Read more…]

Bible Minded Springfield

A report came out a little over a month ago that said Springfield, Missouri is the fourth most Bible minded city in America. Let’s pat ourselves on the back fellow Springfieldians. That’s really something isn’t it; number four in the nation? Let’s celebrate our achievement. Wait a minute. What does Bible minded even mean? The report didn’t say Bible believing or God fearing; it said Bible minded. So does that mean most of our homes have four or five Bibles in it? Probably so. But it doesn’t matter how many Bibles you own if you never open one up. It doesn’t matter how Bible minded you are, if you never read God’s Word. [Read more…]

I want to talk to Christians today. This message is for Christians only. Christians: what are you going to do on spring break? Have you thought about? Are you planning on going out drinking and are hoping to hook up with someone? Will your non-Christian friends see anything in your life that separates you from them? What are you going to do on spring break? [Read more…]
