The Power of the Word of God is such because The One who inspired it does not lie. As scripture tells us, The Word of God will achieve the purpose for which it is sent. That in itself is surely reason enough for us to read and consider its value for our lives.

Music in its many forms definitely qualifies as worship to The Creator. Multiple scriptural references exist regarding singing and instruments utilized to honor God in the Old and New Testaments. Evolving through history, modes of music change but the hearts of those offering their musicianship have not. As the Little Drummer Boy once said, "I give my gifts for Him!"

The Bible speaks that God patiently waits as He knocks on the door of our hearts for an invitation to enter. The journey to know Christ begins with the first bold step to INVITE HIM IN.

In Matthew 7:7-8 Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

The podcast episode is intended to encourage those who expend sweat equity in the name of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission in the Gospel of Matthew tells of this responsibility of every disciple, but it is not an easy assignment.

With love and respect I offer scriptural motivation to fight the good fight as the apostle Paul memorably recalled his efforts for our King.

March on Christian soldiers!

Mary Magdalene only has 61 words recorded about her in the Bible. This is an interesting phenomenon given that she was the first human to see the Resurrected Christ on Earth. This podcast dives into the life of Mary of Magdala and her role model leadership of how to honor Jesus, the Incarnate God.

If your senses are dulled to the beauty of the Nativity of Jesus Christ: Run to see the 2024 movie, 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' ... it is a jewel of the season!

Jesus' Resurrection and Life - I AM - scripture in The Gospel of John, Chapter 11, verses 21 -27 answers THE question:

Do they really know who I am? 

In other words: Does all of humanity… since the time of Jesus’ apostles, people now … do we… UNDERSTAND WHO JESUS IS and why He is utterly the beginning and the end, in Greek … the Alpha and the Omega and nothing else in THE WORLD is more important?

Let us consider this setting of a conversation involving questions and answers between Jesus and a woman named, Martha to give us more discernment of who Jesus was and is!

The faith journey is not for the faint of heart. Walking in faith - (an Old Testament phrase for how to live one’s life) - is a deeply personal experience with the living God ... and/but also requires community. 

Discipleship and the development of biblical wisdom rarely occur in a vacuum … and lasting marriages,  solid parenting, and healthy relationships with extended family and friends need God as the glue to thrive! 

One thing which drove me back to view the movie, The Forge - three times - was the lack of goofy cinematography of the look of the film. Praise God that Christian films look like real films now. This is a petty statement I know, but God bless the Kendrick brothers for their extreme skills and the beautiful talents of the actors in this film …  and God bless all ticket buyers in recent years for attending the growing numbers of available Christian movies at the cinemas.

Go see this terrific film ... you won't be sorry you did!

The sacred institution of The Eucharistic Feast and final meeting between Jesus of Nazareth and His disciples at The Last Supper is the focus of this podcast. Outlining details of Da Vinci's original Last Supper masterpiece, I suggest why the Paris Olympics desecration was an action that did not bear fruit.
