Solomon wrote that to everything there is a time…to everything there is a season. In life we have seasons, seasons to do something special, seasons to mourn, seasons to celebrate. I think it’s key we remember this as life comes and life goes and to learn to celebrate every season for its beauty.

It’s easy to take God and Religion at face value and just get into a groove and go through the motions. But what happens when we confront God with something we are passionate about and grab hold of Him and plead for a blessing? Does He wrestle with us or walk away? Can we hold him accountable for what He has promised or is it possible His opinions of humanity have changed?

Perhaps like never before the very definition of freedom is under attack in the world and especially in the land of the free. Who defines freedom? What will be its fate?

Long days, fireflies, popsicles, splashes, watermelon, suntans, and laughter. Summer brings so many fun things. Is there still hope of an endless summer in our future…one that never stops?

Think back for a minute. There was a day 50 years ago when dad’s were respected, appreciated, honored and loved. Then something happened. Then it seemed like every new show, movie or ad was somehow making dads look dumb, out of touch and not needed. Did something change… or is there an agenda somewhere hijacking the narrative?

We are told by God that His temple is to be a place of prayer. Is that still true today? Is is still true for all people?

Come all the way out of her my people is a warning message found in the book of Revelation chapter 11 where there is a symbolic Sodom and Egypt. The message is clear - there is a people that will come out of Babylon. Will Bible believing Protestants in the United States also have to come out of mystical Sodom and Egypt?

Many talk about the law of God as something restrictive. For many it has been preached that way as a law of bondage. But within a free society, you have to have laws that govern peace and allow for freedom. The Law of Heaven before the earth was based on one idea - No Being is to Live Selfishly. This allowed for ultimate freedom and if we live by this today, freedom can continue.
