This excellent book was out of print, but thankfully Footstool Publications has made it available again! God willing, this is one of those rare books that actually can change your life! At the time of this post, it was $8 from the publisher. Others were selling used copies on amazon.com between $23.95 — $108.01. This [...]
It could have been as long ago as 1997 when I first read the thought provoking article on how books affect children that I’m sharing in this post. I did a search online today to try to find out where I first found it so that I could provide the name of the author who [...]
For decades, I was an Arminian. Afterward, I became a Calvinist. Also for decades, I went from church to church to see how they differed. Doctrines of salvation were not discussed in detail. Eschatology was either more interesting or a safer topic to bring up. I was thankful when the internet became available for me [...]
The problem I have with reading Oswald Chambers is that he is too weak on doctrine to avoid being occasionally confusing. He was strong on exhortation upon specific areas of the Bible, but because he insufficiently makes comparisons of scripture with scripture, he can at times distort the big picture.

A feeling of aloneness can exist in any environment. There is a genuine freedom from loneliness and there is an artificial type. The difference is [...]
You make do with whitetails for hitching up to the sleigh on Christmas Eve! Hey girls, here comes redneck Santa… so make him work for his ride! You don’t want to end up hanging around . . . do ya? Speaking of going up, up, and away, . . . how do you know who [...]
Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve been depressed, I can still remember this strange experience I had. It’s not the depression that was strange, but rather the ‘cure’.
