“PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH WILL SHOW LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY TOWARD THAT FOR WHICH THE PASTOR SHOWS INDIFFERENCE“ Well folks, here we go again, or is it yet? The run for the White House is in full gear, and the sprint to the front door is not far away. November 4 will open that door for the […]
“THE PROUD AND POWER-HUNGRY POLITICIAN CANNOT ALLOW A SENSE OF DEPENDENCE UPON OR GRATITUDE TO GOD, FOR THAT ONLY CONJURES UP PALE, MEAGER AND WEAK IMAGES OF HIMSELF.” No, that’s not my house. My childhood house was a bit smaller. But a house does not make a home. I had a wonderful father named William […]
“NO MAN CAN BE CREDITED WITH EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP WHO IS DISCREDITED BY AN IMMORAL LIFE.” 4. IMMORALITY Fourth,you don’t think do you that we in America could ever come to the time when Hugh Hefner would be the president and Larry Flynt would be the vice-president? Not so many years ago I would have never even […]
A newspaper in Atlanta once reported that when a Catholic woman was marrying a Muslim man, they decided to split the difference and get married in a Methodist church, where the minister was only too happy to blend together Catholicism with Islam to keep everybody happy.

Most all of us have heard the phrase at one time or another, “Mind Over Matter.” Psychic folklore is filled with the notion that the thoughts and intentions of the human mind can have unlimited influence upon the physical world. As in thinking and worrying about sickness so much that you can actually make your […]
We as pastors and parishioners simply cannot let our guard down for one moment these days. The watchmen on the gates of Zion cannot even allow themselves a quick nap. The watchdogs must be constantly barking. I for one am shocked about how silent and casual the watchmen and watchdogs of Zion are in modern […]
I recall when I was a child that whenever I saw a little birdie lying dead on the ground, I felt my heart break. That sweet innocent little creature was now so lifeless, lost and alone! It all seemed so cruel, meaningless and out-of-control. I would pick up that precious tiny feathered form and then […]
You perhaps recall the lyrics of a song that says, “Killing Me Softly With His Song.” I suppose that it is possible to kill someone with music. I often feel like I am being killed loudly when I hear rock music, whether hard-rock or soft-rock. Obviously my prejudices are showing. I am a classical and […]
