    Sign of the times... Why no revival?

    My son went to a new church today to check it out. Turned out the pastor was absent so a videotaped message from him was shown on a big screen. The associate pastor made a few closing remarks and that was it. Looking around during the "non-service" the largely under 30 crowd saw nothing...

    He drew me out of many waters

    Psalm 69:15 KJVS Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. Beautiful on the Middle Fork of the Saline River but it can rise quickly in heavy rains. They built a new bridge over the Middle Fork of the Saline River...

    Get thee up to the wood country

    It was toward the end of summer and we were waiting on things God had promised us, mainly children. So it was just Martha and I that hot summer of 1978. We didn't have a lot of money but wanted to take a little mini-vacation somewhere. We always enjoyed going up to Eureka Springs for a few days...

    Roll dem' rolls

    I didn't see a good or appropriate place for food so I've place a few photos here, not finding a "Grub" sub-forum! These are my whole wheat supper rolls hot out of the oven. I love to bake and we had rolls, BBQ chicken w/home brewed BBQ sauce, baby Lima beans cooked in beef broth with a ham...

    OK stick em' up!

    I hadn't been saved for long and we were going you a little country Baptist church. I'd been baptized in the Holy Spirit so the Lord was truly working big time. I didn't know one church from another, only that we weren't getting a lot from church. Folks were nice but when I asked men there if...

    River of grace

    River of grace Flowing Begin with rain falling high in the mountains, waters falling to valleys below. A river forming. Now we think of God's river of grace never ending. No beginning, no end. By Frank Lee Jennings Beads forming, drops merging tiny tricklets sprinting down scores and...

    OK, What's the real story? Yours!

    I'm eternally curious and wonder about everyone's testimony. How did you come to be saved? How did you know that you were really born again? Was it a huge change all at once? Everyone's testimony is unique and important. I know that Jesus uses as many ways to speak to the hearts of people as...

    Dangers of statins

    My wife and I have dumped statins. I've read before of a few dangers of statins drugs but recently we both have been increasingly plagued by the side effects - well documented by the way - of statins. Simvastatin is the particular one we tossed. I wish I'd have stopped sooner. There are so many...

    The sadness of a false gospel

    False gospels have deceived and are now deceiving many. We have a duty a commission to speak the truth in love. A preacher ran across a Roman catholic priest in Louisiana that had a mission. He was trying to raise more money and awareness to help pray a man out of purgatory. He told the...

    Now I know, some

    by Frank Lee Jennings I know now though I didn't then That the swiftness of time Was swifter than I could know That the fine things before my eyes Were not forever, were but a blink A click of the camera of time Taking bejeweled snapshots Of moments I thought would be forever In ignorance I...

    The conversion of a scientist

    I'm amazed anytime a scientist gets converted. Their head is so filled with facts they fall prey to ; 2 Timothy 3:7 KJVS Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. But our God is able to reach them as He did Dr Francis Collins, Another version of his testimony can...

    A text from God?

    I was sending my sister a text of encouragement as she is going through a very hard time. I was not feeling well and felt very weak and drained for some unknown reason. As I paused I prayed in tears for God to strengthen me. From time to time my phone will add extra text that I didn't type...

    Everyone everywhere

    Have you noticed, and I know you have, that everyone everywhere seems to be in some terrible fix. Some brow wrinkling affliction that strains to the max. Every member of my original childhood home is in some dire strait. Jimmy, my DAV brother nearest me In age has only 40% kidney function. Judy...

    Look up, He's with you

    I look around as I sit here and I know that He is here with me. With us. Though we live mostly separate from humankind except for a random food shopping trip when we do see others. He never leaves. If I go He goes with me. I don't have to go to a building somewhere to find Him. I've heard...

    Adventures in forgiveness

    We were numb. We buried our daughter that day and were exhausted and torn. My wife's older sister, in her fifties, and her fiance Mike were still at our house along with my wife and Sue's mother. My MIL had to have a ride home so we asked Sue if she and Mike would mind. Not a great request and...

    Take your rest

    Trouble sleeping? Meditate on these words, read them aloud. God wants us to sleep well. Matthew 26:45 KJVS Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Even at the...

    Take them and leave them

    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there Charles A. Tindley ca 1916 If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, And you have to get along with meager fare, Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird— Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. Refrain...
