I’m tearing up as I write this. Two girls were sitting at a table when their waitress Riley commented on how beautiful their energy was. The girls replied, “Thank you very much but that’s not really us, but God in us.” Riley responded, “Oh, that’s cute.” What happened soon afterwards is incredible! The girls would...

The Only Reliable News Source
“God is not a man! He cannot lie.” Numbers 23:19 Polls show that the majority of people in America no longer trust the mainstream media . There was a time when journalists only reported the facts and left their opinions out of it. Now, they often spin the news to fit their agenda. That’s bad... Continue Reading →
Overlooking Offenses
Someone recently unleashed their anger on me and I was tempted to return the sentiment, but didn’t. I have to fight to be unoffendable. It’s a spiritual battle. The apostle Paul described it well when he wrote: “The Spirit and your desires (the flesh) are enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other... Continue Reading →
Crazy Love
My friends and I have been blessed by the ministry of Francis Chan. Years ago, Francis was sad that many wealthy people in his church weren't generous. So he and his wife prayed, “Lord, raise up a new generation of rich people who don’t care about their stuff—or make us rich, and we’ll give it... Continue Reading →
Need a Good Therapist?
We used to live next door to a psychologist. One day I said to him, “Gerry, you must love your job, helping people get healed of their emotional wounds.” I will never forget his response: “I don’t heal people. I just help them cope.” I'm not knocking therapy. It's improved the mental health of millions.... Continue Reading →

Oops! A Jumbotron at a concert caught two people having an affair. They tried to duck out of view but the video of them went viral. It reminded me of that verse: “For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and... Continue Reading →
If Men Were Christlike
President James Madison wrote, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” He almost got it right. Angels aren’t perfect either. Lucifer and his minions proved that. Madison should have said, “If men were Christlike, no government would be necessary.” Think about that. If we were all sinless like Christ, there would be no... Continue Reading →
No King But One
Many in America today are calling President Trump an evil king. If he is, should we still pray for him, honor him, and thank God for him? What does the Bible say? “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks... Continue Reading →
Walking Love Dispensers
My father-in-law, Papa Don Mardock, was a walking love dispenser, giving love to everyone he met. He knew you can’t dispense what you don’t contain. In other words, you can’t give what you don’t got! Fortunately, Don knew where to go to get love. “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the... Continue Reading →
Love Your Enemies
During the George Floyd riots, someone online accused me of killing Martin Luther King Jr. — just because I’m white. It shocked, but mostly saddened me. The amount of anger being spewed in the world is mind boggling. It’s coming from all directions. In Los Angeles this month, angry protesters hurled bricks off of overpasses... Continue Reading →
