Cured of Agrophobia

I have been preaching lately on the power of sharing our personal testimonies concerning what God has done in our lives. My goal is to get people to freely share their stories of salvation, healing, financial blessing, and other works of the Lord with those who are the natural contacts in their lives. I believe … Continue reading Cured of Agrophobia

Talking to My Invisible Friend

I just heard someone say it again, “God seems so far away!” I regularly hear that or some variation thereof: “I just don’t feel like He hears me.” Or “I don’t feel God is anywhere around.” These statements are usually made by sincere Christians who have known the Lord and walked with Him in some … Continue reading Talking to My Invisible Friend

Name your Nazi

After reading yet another article about someone calling a Tea Party guy a nazi, I just couldn't resist a brief comment. First of all, the use of the term Nazi in the pejorative is a bit overdone these days. When real nazis show up we are numb to the warning. Second, if you insist on calling … Continue reading Name your Nazi

Did 9/11 work?

A few days after 9/11/01 church attendance went up. People knew they needed God. It troubles me that ten years after the Islamo-fascist attack on the United States we are debating whether it would be OK to pray at the Trade Center site. Maybe even worse, we are avoiding any evangelical presence at the Pentagon memorial. Apparently the goals of … Continue reading Did 9/11 work?

Debate was a yawner

I thought the debate last night was a bit dull. These guys just regurgitate the same stuff. Except, of course, for Newt. I love the guy and really wish he were electable. He is by far the sharpest of the group. I really want to like Perry. He seems like a decent fellow. His heart … Continue reading Debate was a yawner

Tell Somebody

We just completed three wonderful days of meetings in our church. The Spirit of God moved in a powerful way. Folks were saved, healed, and delivered. It truly was a time of refreshing. God revealed Himself as Jehovah-Shalom, the God who is our Peace. Mental torments and anxieties were lifted. He reintroduced Himself as the … Continue reading Tell Somebody

Are You Just Stupid Like Rick?

I see by the morning gab that I am supposed to dislike Rick Perry because he is stupid. We know this because he said that it would be almost treasonous to print fiat currency for the sole purpose of manipulating an election in the middle of a national crisis. Then he implied that he thinks … Continue reading Are You Just Stupid Like Rick?

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Friday, August 26, 2011 Building People of Substance for Works of Power It's really all about Jesus, me and tobie. I had a remarkable experience during my morning devotions last week. This year I decided to read through the bible again. It had been a while, and I wanted to read it in a new … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

We don’t have a “jobs” problem

So we have a massive shortage of apples in our country. If we want apples we have two basic choices. We can buy or borrow apples and place them around the country. If we want to maintain the illusion that we are producing apples, we can simply hang them in trees and let folks come … Continue reading We don’t have a “jobs” problem

Can We Govern Ourselves?

I am struck by the outbreaks of violence world-wide. London, Lybia, Syria, Spain, Greece, and even China have had mass protests turning violent in the last few days. That, of course, leaves out our own beloved Philadelphia. The British response is remarkably restrained. It took them several days to decide to use water cannons and … Continue reading Can We Govern Ourselves?
