October 14, 2025 A few years back, I started watching videos of a certain horse. He belongs to a lady that I consider to be my little sister, and as such, she and her horse have always been special to me. I watched video after video of Opus winning contest after contest. In my eyes…

October 13, 2025 I will be using the New American Standard Version for Bible quotes: As we begin our study of Colossians 3:1-4, because of the “Therefore” in v. 1, we have to go back to Chapter 2 to determine the proper context of Chapter 3. Colossians 2:6 is a great start, “Therefore as you…

October 12, 2025 If I were to open a discussion on the present condition of the United States government, everyone would have an opinion. Everyone would be able to tell me exactly what they think should be done about the present shutdown, and probably with plenty of emotion expressed in said statement! But if I…

October 7, 2025 Read Acts 3:1-7, Peter, a common person just like us, had been cleansed by Jesus, and now Peter reaches out his hand and lifts up someone who didn’t know Jesus. Years before, Peter had invested his life in the theory of “No contact, No impact!” Fifty years ago, country kids grew up…

October 6, 2025 Hopefully most, if not all, of us enjoyed a great day at church yesterday. Also, hopefully, when you left the service yesterday your face was aglow after being in the presence of God! You know, like Moses’ face glowed after His times of talking with God. Remember, when Moses would meet with…

October 5, 2025 Wow! When I put Coffee (our dog) outside at 5:15 a.m. the wind was blowing, rain was falling and it’s just plain cold out there. Two days ago, I was hunting a shade tree by ten o’clock. I would suspect that most all of us have spent some time attempting to determine…
