‘Say Now, Shibboleth’ or Modern Day ‘Christian-Speak’
Ever notice we say words or phrases that we just accept and not bother to think deeper about? ‘You doing Ok?’ ‘Yeah, I’m good’, ‘I hear ya man’, ‘Whadayuhgonnadoboutit?’ , ‘Who Dat?’. The inspiration for this month’s article came from a ‘Christian-speak’ phrase I heard and reheard so much so, that I had to ‘Selah’-Stop [...]

What’s your Scriptural discipline? What do you do, frequently in a consistent manner that gets you into The Word, and thus The Word seeps back into you? For me, one discipline has been to read 5 Psalms and 1 Proverb every morning. The reasoning behind this pattern is simple, if you want to know ‘the [...]
Read moreRemember the Reason for the Reason
As we enter another one of that end of year Holiday Seasons we have all heard the phrase, ‘Remember the Reason for the Season!’ Ask most folks, well; just what is the ‘reason for the season’? They probably will give a one word answer, Jesus! Jesus is the Reason for the Season! I’ve come to [...]

The inspiration for this month’s article goes to Chrys Howard, author of many books, founder and president of ‘It’s a Mom Thing’ (www.itsamomthing.org). She writes a one minute feature for the radio and I help her produce them. They are encouraging bits of life issues with Scriptural insight. Recently she came up with one entitled, [...]

Through the month I write down ideas for potential articles. So that when the end of the month arrives I will have my topic and thus an article should be easy and good to go! Theory’s are always easy, reality is another matter. I guess that’s why the ‘theory’ of evolution is always changing, while [...]

‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it’. This is a quote from the movie ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ (1986). I realize that this movie has naughty language in it and blue inferences, however, I was fortunate to have a copy when there was [...]
Read moreIs Prayer America’s Only Hope?
Lately here in North Louisiana I’ve been seeing yard signs pop up with the phrase, ‘Prayer: It’s America’s only Hope’, then of course it has the Scriptural reference of II Chronicles 7:14. ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked [...]

They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews. Act 17:11 And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that [...]
Read moreSpiritual Chemtrails
In the beginning we read about The Creator and The Corruptor. One restores, one destroys. There is The Tree of Life and the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Each Tree comes from a seed. According to ‘Jesus’, The Seed is The Word (Luke 8:11). So would it be correct to equate words [...]
Read moreCould it be the Air in Prayer?
I have a hypothesis that I am not ready to reveal at this time, yet this article is a trial balloon to ‘test the spirits’ as it were, (1 John 4:1) to see if the Ruach (Holy Spirit) is working with some of you on this topic. Thus I’m looking for the independent confirmation of [...]
