Happiness Or Joy?

My favorite part of the United States Declaration of Independence is: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” I love how the signers mention the Creator (God) and that everyone is created equal and we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Even though little babies being murdered in the womb have no right to life). [Read more…]

My Lord And My God

We just celebrated Easter the first of the month and Easter is also known as Resurrection Sunday. I personally like Resurrection Sunday because it more accurately describes why we celebrate the event. Followers of Jesus are celebrating that not only did Jesus suffer, bleed and die for our sins, but He also rose from the grave. We serve a risen Savior. Do you remember what the apostle Thomas said when he saw the risen Lord?  [Read more…]

Light Night Loaded With Open-Air Preachers

Do you ever complain about high gas prices? I know I do. Are there other things that are too pricey for you? I am pretty cheap so my wife shocked me recently when we were in a mall in St. Louis. I won’t mention the name of the store, but they had pots and pans that were a $1,000 each (and no we didn’t buy one at that exorbitant high price)! I wouldn’t spend $200 for a whole set of pots and pans. [Read more…]

Health, Wealth and Happiness

Leave a Comment

At one time or another you may have heard a preacher on TV saying something like, “Come to Jesus and He will give you health, wealth and happiness.” They are trying to sell people on Christianity so they will have a better life (some of these pastors are very wealthy and they live “the good life” – for now), selling this brand of Christianity.
