Philippines Part 4 – Hospitality
Read part 1 here… Read part 2 here. Read part 3 here. The hospitality shown us during our two weeks there rivals the hospitality of any nation I’ve been too. Food was always abundant, travel was always interesting, and smiles were showered on us from all directions. We visited the Larena brothers’ churches in Manila. […]
THE SCRIPTURES – In Iambic Pentameter
When discussing God’s written words to man, One must consider everything he can; Not only crazy supernatural, But also cold, hard facts – historical. As we begin discussion, let me state: Inspiration is the scriptural trait; Preservation by God’s unchanging hand Keeps the words inerrant as He had planned. Accuracy becomes a major theme […]
COLD WATER – FALLING ROCKS
The last couple of days we have been on another road trip. Santino, Rocco, Gianni, Noah, and Dom are with me this time. There are a couple of others with us. Sunday after church we loaded up “the beast” and drove 5 hours to our hostel rooms. Monday, we drove up the rest of the […]
WHY I LEFT THE CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC MOVEMENT – DAN LUCARINI
[symple_skillbar title=”Buy the Hard Cover” percentage=”81″ color=”#132670″ show_percent=”true”] Must read for those serious about worshiping God. A book on how CCM has dumbed us down musically, taught us not to sing out with our hearts, and has tried to fit holy worship into the illicit sex and drug culture’s music style. Good, good stuff by […]
THAT’S JUST WHO I AM
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus…” “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” All of these verses concerning salvation include acknowledging Jesus Christ as LORD! […]
Philippines Part 3 – LANDING IN ASIA
Read part 1 here… Read part 2 here. At this point in my life I had only been on three or four flights. All of them except for the domestic flight in Bulgaria were civilized. The airports in Bulgaria were small and the airport in NYC was well-organized. With this in mind, I laid back […]
I wrote this poem when I was 16 so cut me some slack. Enjoy. [symple_column size=”one-half” position=”first” fade_in=”false”] “To live” said he to her, “With fam’ly ’round the hearth; To live with children throughout the year On a green and God-blessed earth. To live a whole life long In security and peace; To spend […]
CUMBERED PARENTING
I am not advocating ragamuffin-looking children or an unkempt house with this article. I am, however, advocating knowing what is needful and what is cumbersome. Is the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 not clear enough? Our lives are cumbered with many things that simply do not matter. Let us stop and smell […]
[symple_skillbar title=”Read or Die” percentage=”91″ color=”#132670″ show_percent=”true”] Excellent book full of common sense. Written by one of the most eloquent preachers that ever lived. I have loved everything I have ever read of Spurgeon’s. You will laugh. You will agree. You will think. You will refocus. It is a good book. Read it. I […]
