On this New Year’s Eve, you may be wondering what is going to happen. Years ago, some men were on a leaky old ship in the middle of a rough and stormy sea. One of them asked the captain, “Are we safe?” He said, “Well, the boilers are weak and may explode at any moment. [...]
“Tomorrow” is the devil’s greatest ally - the very Goliath in whom he trusts for victory. If he can get you to wait till tomorrow to get saved he has gained another day for your to be lost. If he can get you to wait till tomorrow to pray he has gained another day of [...]
One simple thought - Anchor to the throne of God - it is an anchor safe and sure!!! A friend once said “anchor to the throne and shorten the rope”. Ray Boltz wrote “My Anchor Holds”. I am sure you could write your own song. So today take a moment and remember all the times [...]
Remember in school when someone did something wrong and the whole class got in trouble or your parents were in that “spanking”mood and spanked you for something you didn’t do? You were indignant.

We take ourselves apart piece by piece, examining and re-examining ourselves. Then we put [...]
Saw the weather report and it reminded me that winter is here and I told Mrs. Robin, “don’t think I’ll play golf today.” You see, I am a “fair weather” golfer. Sadly though i know too many “fair weather” Christians. What is that? A Christian who, if their children get sick, will stop tithing. If they get a bad [...]
Here’s an anchor for your soul in the storms of life: “I am growing by His plan.” What is God’s plan for you? He wants to enlarge you, not indulge you. God is not so interested in making you happy and healthy as He is in making you holy. God will allow troubles to make [...]
