God’s Gone High Tech!

When my Pastor walked up to the pulpit and opened up his Ipad to read the Bible passage, I was aghast! This has got to be sacrilegious! Blasphemous even! That was about 15 years ago. I was slow to embrace this new trend. How could the Holy Bible be traded in for an electronic device? […]

Say A Prayer Then Do Something

There’s a joke about a woman who prayed every day to win the lottery. One day while praying hard and telling God how she’s at the end of her financial rope, a voice was heard from Heaven, “Work with me here, first buy a lottery ticket!” That’s the mentality of many of us Christians, myself […]

Fill My Cup, Lord. My Starbucks Cup or I’ve Got 99 Problems And The Cup Ain’t One

I unfortunately overhead one of the most asinine things I’ve heard in a long time, on the radio while driving to work a few days ago. I wish I could ‘unheard’ it but it was cemented in after various other media blasted it into my brain. It was the story about the Starbucks Christmas Cup […]

Unplugging From God

Last night I felt too hot to be comfortable so I got up in the middle of the night and opened the window, letting in some much-needed cool air. My wife awoke to my rustling and warned me that it wasn’t a good idea as it would get extremely cold in the room. I didn’t […]

Hey, Look Who Showed Up To Church!

I hate missing church. But I do. We all do. In a perfect world, nothing we do should supersede God but we still let our personal agendas interfere with HIS schedule. So yes, there are times when I miss church to attend personal and pressing matters. Don’t you? Now don’t you hate when there’s that […]

Psst, I Agree With Victoria Osteen

Embed from Getty Images A while back, the wife of renowned televangelist Joel Osteen made headlines when she made the following comments, “When we obey God, we’re not doing it for God…we’re doing it for ourself. Because God takes pleasure when we’re happy. Do good ’cause God wants you to be happy. When you come […]

Who Found Who?

I have always wondered about the saying, “I was lost but Jesus found me”. I never fully agree with it and have spent hours analyzing its true merit. I have no argument with the ‘being lost’ part of it but the way to salvation or ‘Jesus finding you’ is what I am not in […]

Bothering God?

Have you ever felt that some things are not worth bothering God about? Like that headache that’s keeping you from going out with your friends or the pimple that suddenly showed up just when you finally had a date. Dear God, please make this embarrassing thing go away so my date could go well. I […]

Find HIM Not IT

Embed from Getty Images It suddenly occurred to me that one of the main reasons why there are so many religious fanatics and religion-based wars is because people have been finding religion rather than finding GOD. But again, that’s just My Take…

Let’s Talk About Jesus But Quietly Please Or They Might Hear Us

Do you whisper God’s name out loud? It’s an oxymoron, I know. But yes, we do! I do and maybe you do too. At my last job, a Christian woman working adjacent to me listened to the local Christian radio station on her radio but it was turned down so low I was certain she […]
