Proof The Bible Is True

We’d just downsized our home. As grateful as I was to have a roof over our heads, I couldn’t help but feel blue. Our old house was beautiful…and huge. Our current home? Half the size and cramped. We’d had to give away or toss a lot of our stuff. But there were still boxes everywhere, from the family room to the garage.   The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I tackled more boxes. By the afternoon, I’d made real progress. The furniture was unpacked. The photos were hanging on the walls. But it just didn’t [More]

I sat at my home computer, scrolling through Facebook posts. A photo of a friend’s grinning granddaughter, a video of someone else’s new puppy, an announcement about another friend’s new job. Usually I take pleasure from other people’s joy, but that day it stung. I’d been laid off after 14 years as an office manager for a company I loved. At 43, I’d need to start all over. I should have been looking at jobs instead of Facebook, but I was down in the dumps.   Read More: My Mentor’s Gift – Guideposts

https://renner.org In this fifteen-part series, Christmas – The Rest of the Story, Rick Renner dives deep into the parts of the Christmas story that most people have never heard.

In this series, we explore the Bible, history, historical writings, and so much more, so we can really understand all the events that took place surrounding the birth of Jesus!”

12/08/23   “The article details other mass baptisms that have taken place recently and how this may be a harbinger of a coming revival which we most certainly need.” Admin   Upstate Church in South Carolina baptized 141 people on Sunday across its six campus locations.   That number significantly topped its previous high of 35.   “We have never seen anything like this in our church,” Upstate Church senior pastor Wayne Bray told the Baptist Press. “To think that 141 people followed the Lord in baptism is truly unimaginable for me.”   “Of the total, 86 had confirmed in advance [More]

12/07/23   “What a joy it is to know that we have been chosen by God to be part of His eternal family and this is available to anyone who will receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.” Admin   People fascinate me. I think that’s one of the gifts God gave me for my writing. I love to sit and watch them. No two are the same (unless it’s a set of identical twins dressed in matching outfits).   I sat in an airport for many hours awhile back due to six flight delays. The concourse was busy, providing an [More]

I eased my aching body onto the top step of the back porch and took a deep breath. Five months pregnant, I rarely left the house. I’d come outside for some fresh air—and some company. I felt lonely and scared. I half-hoped a neighbor would see me and ask if I was okay, show me someone cared. My husband, Bill, a Navy airman, usually did that. But today, like too many days, he’d been called away to the base.   I had no clue life as a military wife would be like this. I’d left family and friends behind to [More]

I walked into my kitchen early one Saturday morning, greeted by the aroma of cinnamon and sugar. That could only mean one thing–my bowknots were almost ready!   My “bowknot” recipe was kind of famous. A scrumptious pastry ring that had delighted family and friends ever since I’d dreamed up the dish back in my 20s, a sweet twist on my mother’s biscuit recipe.   The dessert was so popular that everyone at my church knew about it too. In fact, I’d been asked to prepare two trays of bowknots for a bridal shower taking place at church later that [More]

12/02/23   Paris, France, 1662. A great man had died, one of the greatest mathematicians and scientists of his age, and his servant was going through his clothes one last time. Folding a doublet, he felt something in the lining. It made a crinkling sound, like paper.   He snipped a seam and removed a piece of parchment. Wrapped inside was a faded scrap of paper with notes scrawled on it. The servant recognized the handwriting. His master had written thousands of pages on arcane topics. But these two pieces of paper held an answer to a greater question, the [More]

Every year, thousands flock to San Francisco to walk across that fabled vermilion span, the Golden Gate Bridge. They come for the sweeping views of the city, the fog-wreathed hillsides abutting cold gray waters. The bridge rises 220 feet above the bay. Below, sharks and sea lions swim and dangerous currents churn. Tourists crowd the walkway, braced against the wind, snapping photos.   On a cool, foggy September afternoon, I boarded a bus to the Golden Gate Bridge. I wasn’t a tourist. I didn’t care about the view. I was going to jump.   Read More: Last Leap – Guideposts

11/28/23   Rainbows have always meant a lot to our family. On the day that my sweet father went to heaven, we left the rehabilitation center where Daddy had died, and as we headed home, a double rainbow stretched over the highway between Decatur and Fort Worth, Texas.   It was as if God was saying, “I’ve got your Daddy, and this is your promise that you’ll see him again someday.”   Just as I was processing the beautiful display of God’s promise to me, Allyson, who was only 9 at the time, said, “God put two rainbows in the [More]

11/24/23 Over two thousand years ago, one of the most known figures in history, Jesus Christ was born. He conducted a ministry in Judea in which he proclaimed His identity as the Son of God. As a consequence of this, He was crucified, and according to Christian doctrine, He experienced resurrection after spending two nights in a tomb. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. One of the most disputed sacred relics is believed to stand as one of the most compelling pieces of evidence for Christ’s resurrection – the Shroud of Turin. Join us [More]

11/23/23   Often times I find myself writing about something and then stating that I’ve looked into matters like this in the past and this is another one of those times. I am deeply passionate about studying the afterlife, consciousness, and our being. Some have argued that our brain is what makes us who we are and that consciousness derives from our brains.   Well, Jacob Phillips proves otherwise. Phillips was actually born without a brain. When he was born, he had hydrocephalus, and his head was filled with fluid. He only had part of a skull that was formed [More]

Mamaw Clark’s faded homespun skirt trailed in the leaves as she walked along the creek at the forest’s edge. Mamaw bent down beneath a cedar sapling and picked a handful of wild mint.   I took a handful myself and breathed in the sweet, cool scent.   “Don’t go eating that there mint,” Mamaw warned me. “It’s still green as grass and will upset your innards. You can chew on a sprig, but don’t swallow a drop or you’ll be sorry.”   Mamaw was a fourth generation medicine woman. Her own mother was full-blooded Cherokee. Mamaw didn’t talk about that [More]

11/23/23   “Adversity at times can bring out the best in us.” Admin   It was well after midnight when I stepped out of the taxi onto the Alaska Pacific Seafoods parking lot in Kodiak, Alaska. A whipping wind drove snow into my eyes and I shivered in the single-digit temperature.   “Here ya go,” the taxi driver said as he hauled my gear out of the trunk and dropped it in the snow. He climbed back into the cab and drove away. “Wait!” I wanted to shout. “Don’t leave me here. I can’t do this crazy job after all!” [More]
