This is the day when we, Christians, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the One and Only Son of God. Sometimes, we forget that the rest of the world looks at us through a different lens. Especially in the culture today, we believers are under a microscope of judgement, being critiqued with a narrow set…
This morning, I felt myself being pushed over the edge about the current state of our nation… the willful ignorance of reality for the sake of the political collective… the CEO mentality of many of our church leaders… wars and rumors of wars… printing money as if the value were no better than toilet paper……
Like it or not, it takes real men to do the dirty work of war. It takes real men to do hard jobs like logging, barb-wire stringing, bad bull wrangling… and leading a Godly home (in the Creator’s original design). Real men step into those roles as they are needed and gifted without fanfare or…
It’s here… 2024 started rather slowly and peacefully for my household. Heck, we didn’t even stay up until midnight. We usually do, but this New Year didn’t seem to have the luster of others over the last few years. I suppose Mrs. Dawn and I are really getting old(er) and not as concerned about the…
In my world, the Christian community specifically, there is a lot of negative commentary these days about how the youth of our country have become mouthpieces for a culture of corruption and rebelliousness.

“Sometimes I feel… sometimes I feel… like I been tied to the whippin’ post, tied to the whippin post… TIED to the whippin’ post. Good Lord I feel like I’m dyin’!“ Some of you may remember the lines above are lyrics from an old Allman Brothers song. I don’t endorse all the sentiments found in…
Last night, we had an excellent gathering with believers who were of African, Malaysian, Korean, Indian and American descent. I am always encouraged by these diverse and meaningful fellowship opportunities. We were blessed to have Elder Joseph Tan share a message with us. We had a rather large group assembled to hear what he had…
Today in America, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. I sometimes wonder if our nation has wandered from the type of thankfulness that our Founding Fathers possessed. For that matter, I wonder about the gratefulness of the church. Not “all” churches, mind you, but churches in general. Our brave ancestors came to this land to chase the…
We’ve all been there, right? Someone who you depended on has let you down. That job that you hoped to get didn’t materialize. The report from the doctor was not what you thought it would be. Life gets more complicated than you are prepared to deal with. Yes sir… things, people, circumstances, health, the future……
