The Dropping of the Other Shoe

This phrase is often associated with a pessimistic worldview that some people struggle with.  These types are always anticipating that something bad will happen to them or someone they love.  It’s an anxious feeling that is spawned from past negative experiences; often from their childhood, and all too often, from their parents who should haveContinue reading “The Dropping of the Other Shoe”

Our Conduct in the Waiting

Someone once said, ‘the waaaaiiiiittttting is the hardest part.’  So it is for a watcher whose heart is set on heavenly things and matters.  While we don’t want to be so heavenly minded that we do no earthly good, we do want to represent the Master well while we wait for His soon return.  IContinue reading “Our Conduct in the Waiting”

Everybody Just Calm Down!

This seemed like an appropriate title for this blog which addresses our disposition while living in the times we are living in right now.  Too many people are a little too freaked out over all that is happening in the world; can you blame them?  The road rage, the parking lot bantering, and the angryContinue reading “Everybody Just Calm Down!”

The Messiah’s Blessing

Jesus is the Messiah, someone please inform the Jewish people.  They have been looking for Him for hundreds of years and yet, He was born of a virgin, a baby boy who was laid in a manger in Israel 2K years ago.  He grew as a child into a man who would live a perfectContinue reading “The Messiah’s Blessing”

This Could Be It!

As I ponder the news and watchman feeds on YouTube and other media sources, I am coming to believe that this Rosh Hashanah may be the one when the Master returns for His Church.  If you adhere to the Rosh Hashanah Rapture theory you understand this premise.  With all of the hoopla going on inContinue reading “This Could Be It!”

My ‘Un-Retirement’ Plan

As I write this blog today, my heart is broken for those who have worked so hard throughout their lives and careers, who have planned well for their retirement; and yet, the very thing that they need the most, many do not have; an eternal life un-retirement plan.  Too many unsaved people think that thisContinue reading “My ‘Un-Retirement’ Plan”

Homesick for Heaven

I was thinking about making this blog title in the form of a question, but I decided to make a statement of fact because this is how I am feeling right about now.  I wasn’t much of a home body growing up because home wasn’t that comfortable for me; which was probably a good thing. Continue reading “Homesick for Heaven”

Running Out of Normal

The title of this blog, although prompted by the Lord, also accompanies inspiration from some recent vlogs of certain watchers who are also feeling a similar way as it relates to the decline of normalcy in these last days.  To begin, let’s look at what Jesus said the world would look like just before HisContinue reading “Running Out of Normal”

Letters from the Front

I was thinking about the soldiers of yesteryear who fought on foreign battlefields for their country, and yet who also longed for home and its many blessings.  They were fighting to protect their homeland and yet, they longed to be home, enjoying the many blessings associated with it.  While this could relate to just aboutContinue reading “Letters from the Front”

It Shall Be Well

I have been interiming as the Lead Pastor of a small country church in Central Missouri for the past 18 months.  It has been an honor to serve these people of faith. They are old school Pentecostals who have worked very hard their entire lives and are longing for the return of the Lord.  SomeContinue reading “It Shall Be Well”
