See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil…
“the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” –
2 Thessalonians 3:3
As I read this Scripture, I was reminded of those monkeys with their hands over their ears, eyes, and mouths. But really, this Scripture is not regarding evil as an “action,” rather it’s speaking of the devil.

can Jesus really help us?
We read throughout the Bible that God can help us. I think we all believe in it too. But unfortunately, we all get caught up in believing that God just doesn’t understand. Why is that?

is that . . . ?
A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones’ chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own heart. Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four-year old David’s comment. Continue reading

does God simply say . . . ?
God is very specific in many instructions. Here, Jesus states “when you give to the needy” ….

THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME
Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s team.

want to go camping with God?
As I prepare physically to go camping with the guys tonight, I stop to ask the question: Do you think God ever goes camping?

rescued?
Everybody seems to undergo stress in their life. For some, it’s a daily event. For others, it seems to come and go. The same seems true for “persecution.” For some, it’s constant; for others, it comes and goes. Why?
