"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine....(Prov. 17:22a)
Last Sunday, 27 June 2004, I went shopping with my wife. Since her health is poor, I have to push her in a wheel chair. It was close to closing time so I was pushing fast to get to a certain store. We made it okay but I began to feel a hurting from my left arm across my chest to my right arm. So I sat down...

Note: Since I have had much feed back on this article and a request to expand it so it can be utilized by a European web site, I am sending out this second edition.
I have been on this earth long enough to remember June 6, 1944, D-Day. That was the date the Allied Forces invaded Normandy in France during the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of men; thousands of ships of all kinds and sizes; thousands of...

I have been on this earth long enough to remember June 6, 1944, D-Day. That was the date the Allied Forces invaded Normandy in France during the Second World War. It was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and their quest to conquer the world.
There were many plans put into place so the Allies could create a Beachhead in France from where they could push on into Germany. Military units were given orders to achieve...

One of the most horrifying words you can hear when you are on the operating table is "oops!" I have had two medical procedures performed on me where I was awake enough to hear any conversation by the doctor and his staff and thankfully I have never heard that word.
However, every day I receive news concerning brethren who live in areas of the world where they are in danger because they are Christians. Some are put in prison...

If I believed many televangelists I would have to conclude that my wife and I are not right with God. Seems these men teach that if you do not have good health and great wealth there is something wrong with your walk with God. We fail on both counts....Health - my wife....Wealth - me. My wife's health is not good due to arthritis and my (our) wealth is almost non-existent.
However, just recently I have received word...

THE TIME - Somewhere in the Future LOCATION - A Dusty Town in West Texas or in Your State or Country
It was close to sunset as Sam, a native Texan, sat down on the back porch of his home to watch the colors of the clouds change as the sun sank deeper in the western sky. Sam had observed 76 years of sunsets. As he seated himself, Ranger, his dog, came over to sit with Sam. Ranger seemed...

This Easter, due to a movie, there had been an unusual amount of attention placed on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Much has been made of Christ's suffering on the cross. And I can only imagine the horror of the pain. However, many people were crucified in that time in history. Many knew the physical pain and agony of Christ. Yet, there is something which He suffered which man can not even come...

Joe was a great fisherman. Every time he went fishing he always brought back a good number of fish. Even when no one else caught any fish, Joe had his quota of big fish. Jake, the local Game Warden, was puzzled by Joe's great success. So, one day he approached Joe about this. Joe ask Jake if he wanted to go fishing with him. Jake accepted and the next morning, at six o'clock, they...

After my time alone with the Lord this morning, I received an e-mail from a man named David. David is a pastor, he lives in Great Britain, he is a person I pray for, and he needs a heart transplant. So, being hindered from his usual ministry to some extend, he began a ministry on the internet to minister to others, the world over, young or old, who are facing what he faces. Today he related about...

"Joshua, son of Nun, the Lord's servant, died at the age of one hundred and ten. The people buried him in his allotted land in Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. That entire generation passed away; a new generation came along that had not personally experienced the Lord's presence or seen what He had done for Israel." Judges 2:8-10 NET Bible
One of the benefits of living a long time is the ability...

There is a false teaching that is becoming popular which states that if a person is right with God, he will have wealth and good health. Just watch so called "Christian television" for any time at all and you will hear this teaching from a number of individuals. And if this teaching is true, which it is not, then the apostle Paul was not a very good Christian as he describes his life in 2 Cor. 11:23-27....

It was summer in Houston, Texas where it gets very hot. The time was early in my life before air conditioning was even considered. So, many times at night I would go outside where it was a little cooler than inside the house. Also, it was before Houston grew so large and was overrun with smog and air pollution. You could actually see the stars, big and bright, on a clear night.
I remember one special night...

I arrived at the International Airport in Buena Aires, Argentina in the early afternoon. I had been traveling for over 24 hours and I was a little tired. For some reason, when I travel by air, car, bus, or whatever means, I cannot sleep. The terminal was packed with people. My first thought was, "they need a much larger terminal." I was to be met by the brother of a pastor I knew who served...

There is a false teaching being put forth by many so called pastors which states that if a person has an abundance of things,(wealth), it means that person is right with God. Just plain common sense tells one that is ludicrous. This teaching really opens the doors for greed to be acceptable within the Christian life. Colossians 3:5 however states that "greed is idolatry."
Well, you may ask, "Is having wealth wrong?" The answer is a definite...

Lets say you are away from a loved one and you received word that person has been rushed to a hospital and the prognosis is not good, what do you do? What can you do? Well, you can talk to the person who created everything, God, and the means of this communication is prayer. Have you ever realized the privilege and power of prayer? For me, prayer is the hardest thing I do but it is...
