Every Christian has at least one of these. Many have several of them. Jesus told His disciples to go out and make more disciples. Where did He send them? Into their mission field. Our adult fellowship held communion last Sunday. It was a memorable time as always. At the end a few minutes were spent… Continue reading Mission Fields

I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Since I lived to tell about my first weekend in prison others think they want to join me. I guess that makes me a leader. I’ve led by example before but not to this extent. I hate seeing trash in the city park I run in. So, instead of looking at it I stop and… Continue reading I’m a Recruiter for Kairos
Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
As I recall Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. You know…that groundhog in Pennsylvania. So why are we in the 70’s and 80’s here in Texas already? I’ve even seen where it’s in the 70’s back in Michigan…and it’s only the middle of the month. I… Continue reading Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
Where Has My Country Gone?
I love the United States of America. I love the fact we claim the most freedoms of any country in the world. I love the work ethic I share with most of our citizens. I don’t like where I see our great country heading. Our democratic society is being derailed by non-democratic power hungry liberals.… Continue reading Where Has My Country Gone?
CAPITAL CITY
David looked at each man in the room. Every one of them was mighty, God definitely blessed him there. “It’s time to move out of Hebron. The city is too vulnerable to attack.” Abashai stepped forward. “Where do you propose we relocate the capital to?” David smiled. “I want Zion.” A murmur rose in the… Continue reading CAPITAL CITY
ISRAEL’S KING
David paced the roof of his home. His thoughts were of his nation’s future. A prayer came to his lips. “LORD, I need You now. My heart is heavy for Your people. We’ve been at war with ourselves. I know that must break Your heart. Shall I remain king of just Judah, or has the… Continue reading ISRAEL’S KING
CIVIL WAR
“Is the time now for my kingdom to start?” David stared at the ephod Abiathar wore. “Yes.” “What city shall I go to?” “Hebron.” David stood and faced his men. “We’re going to Hebron.” The cheer was deafening. **** After David and his men settled into Hebron and its surrounding towns the elders of Judah… Continue reading CIVIL WAR
FATAL NEWS
David stepped out of his house and into the morning light. Men were fixing houses destroyed by the raiding Amalekites a few days earlier. Abishai approached. “Shalom David. Ziklag is nearly rebuilt. Today should about have it done.” David smiled. “Very nice, I’m grateful so many men put my roof on first. I didn’t expect… Continue reading FATAL NEWS
MERCY, JUSTICE AND GRACE
David led his men to the banks of the Brook Besor at a jog. The water was high from the spring rains. A few of the men dropped to their knees. One man passed out. A young man grabbed David’s arm. “I can’t go on. We need to rest here and eat.” Joab grabbed David’s… Continue reading MERCY, JUSTICE AND GRACE
NOT TO WAR
“Achish is here to see you.” David stopped chewing his lunch. “Achish..he’s never come to see us at Ziklag. I wonder what’s up.” He glanced at Abigail as he stood. She shrugged her shoulders. David walked out to see a stern Achish waiting for him. Achish barely smiled as the two men greeted each other.… Continue reading NOT TO WAR
