I found my usual empty seat on the school bus and stared out the window at all the other high schoolers milling about, saying goodbye to their friends. Everybody seemed to have somebody. Except me. I didn’t have any friends. No matter how hard I prayed for one. The driver pulled the door closed.   I felt someone plop down in the seat beside me. A boy had his hand out for me to shake. “Hey!” he said. “My name’s Jack. I’m new. Mind if I sit here?” I looked around to see if this happy guy was making a scene, [More]

07/10/24   As followers of Christ — Jesus, the Son of God, our souls are saved by the blood He shed for us on Calvary, but we remain strangers, foreigners in this world.  We must understand, we’re living in a world ruled by Satan, sojourners among the enemies of God, and we’re commanded to “occupy”?until Jesus returns.   In Matthew 25 and Luke 19, just prior to Jesus entering Jerusalem, where He knew He would shortly be crucified, He told His disciples the “Parable of the Talents.”  In this lesson, Jesus told of a nobleman who gave each of his [More]

06/21/24 Recently I downloaded an app that allowed me to listen to a devotional radio program I hadn’t heard since I was a teenager. I was thrilled to once again hear the familiar voice and head to sleep with beautiful thoughts and music filling my mind and heart. The first program I listened to ended with the story of a father and child who had lost their wife and mother, and were grieving together but drawing closer to God in the darkness. It hit home, as my mother died when I was a boy. The story was followed by a musical arrangement [More]

05/18/24   Does God still speak to people today?   Let’s be honest, when someone says that God has been talking to them, we get a little suspicious, sometimes even a little concerned.   So, does really God talk to us? Does God Almighty actually have a master plan for our lives? And if so, how do we discover it? And how can we learn to recognize God’s voice?   We all need direction in life. But we tend to have inaccurate views about the will of God. We think finding God’s will for us is really hard and that [More]

The kids are filling their cards out all by themselves.”   “That’s a lot of writing,” I said.   “Yep. One card for every student in the class. Guaranteed.”   Becky’s words might have sounded casual, but she knew they were important for me to hear. She knew the story all too well. The story of another [More]

05/03/24   Over and over again, archaeological discoveries have confirmed the biblical accounts of portions of history, and now it has again.   A report from the Daily Mail blasts out that there are ruins “that could prove the Bible was TRUE: Stretch of wall in ancient Jerusalem vindicates the holy book’s account, archaeologists claim.”   The controversy involves the new confirmation about one piece of wall in Jerusalem.   Until now, experts thought a stretch of wall in the original heart of the city was built by Hezekiah, King of Judah, whose reign straddled the seventh and eighth centuries BC, the [More]

In this story from September 1989, popular actress Marla Gibbs shares how she came to understand that when it comes to faith, the first step can be the toughest—and the most rewarding.   In recent years I have had two very good roles on television: Florence, the wisecracking maid on the series The Jeffersons, and Mary, the mother who holds things together on 227. But 17 years ago, in 1972 when I was just getting started in theater work, I thought I’d never make it as an actress. For that matter, I couldn’t even hold my life together or afford a home of my [More]

03/11/24 “To read more of Michael’s great blog posts click here” Admin Whether you’ve heard it said that repetition is the mother of learning, retention, or skill, it’s valuable and beneficial to repeat certain truths until they become ingrained.

02/13/24   Never in the history of the United States have so many people been so confused and misled about Jesus. Some claim He never lived. Many believe He never rose from the dead.

The billions of non-Christians in the world (including friends, classmates, and neighbors whom we have an opportunity to invite to VBS) have every right to ask, [More]
