A Place MUCH Better than My Last Post

Heaven — The mention of the word probably brings as many images to our mind as last weeks topic, hell. Again, pop culture may have influenced us more regarding heaven than the Bible.

H – E – Double hockey sticks

I’ve been told to go there. People make jokes about it. It has been depicted many different ways in film or on TV. Some folks have chosen to just ignore it. Some would tell you that it doesn’t even really exist.

In His grip — And oh that smell . . .

I hated Saturday mornings when I was very young. That was the morning my mom went to the beauty shop and dragged me along. And I will never forget the smell of a beauty shop. It was the smell of women getting permanents.

One, Exclusive, and Unique — Jesus!

In teaching Sunday School this morning I spent a lot of time “building the front porch” and didn’t get to spend as much time “building the house” as I wanted to. So, I’ll build a little on the main house now.
If you are not familiar with John 14:1-14, go back and re-read it.

Pursuing Love . . . Redeeming Love

The book of Hosea is one of the more unusual books in the Bible. Hosea was a prophet in the time of the divided Kingdom and he lived out one of the most difficult stories that we can imagine. Hosea was told by God to marry a woman who would be unfaithful to him. [...]
