Why Would Anyone Want to Be a Christian?

The Gift

With so much panic and fear, so much uncertainty about the future, I thought this would be a good time to post the lyrics to one of my favorite hymns.  It is the old hymns and some of the modern praise music that I find some of my comfort and peace.  The other place I …

The Downfall of the United States: Part 1

The tenets on which this country was founded have been under attack for over one hundred years.  Like Israel, God’s chosen people, we have allowed secular humanism to erode the fabric of the family.  The foundation of faith upon which this country was founded (I did not say religion) has been challenged and disavowed because, …

When our son was a toddler we lived in a mobile home in Chincoteague, Virginia. The mobile home was carpeted except for the kitchen. It was linoleum. …
