I was once again asked the question, what does the bible say about tattoos? And as usual I responded back with the question, why? The young man explained that he had been told that if he was going to be a Christian he could not get a tattoo (mark his body). As the nice guy I am I quickly more…

I thought I had seen quite a lot in my lifetime, but an upside down Christmas tree? What is up with this? This is not a joke. I just seen a similar tree in an ad with a local hardware store.

I’m not aware of anything paganistic, just very strange. That doesn’t mean that there is not some deep-rooted meaning, just that I am not aware. Chime in if you know of any practices regarding an upside down Christmas tree. But please verify your facts (beyond a web site or two) before we start a witch-hunt. Thank you.

From what I’ve read, it’s all about space and merchandising. The claim is that you now have more room for presents and that the ornaments finally hang properly. All I can say is that I am thankful that we have finally solved the Christmas ornament problem. It’s about time!

Do you think we can do something with the stuff called eggnog and fruitcake, now that the ornament problem is finally solved.

Twisted Words… Matthew 4:1-11 (NLT)
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. 3 During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

Look at that, the Devil waited until more…

All I can say is WOW, we had our first Men’s fellowship. Because of the various shifts and jobs of our men we decided to have a late lunchtime fellowship at a centrally located hamburger joint during the week. It is refreshing to see a fellowship of men that want to take part and be responsible to God in a real way.

I am thankful to be a part of such a committed group. I will leave you with this thought. A single stick of dynamite is insignificant in size yet yields a deadly blow. Just imagine how powerful a couple of sticks are when they are bound (by choice) to one another.

We laughed, joked and prayed for over 2 hours. All the praises and glory are yours almighty Father.

What a day in worship service today. I don’t believe that there was a dry eye amongst the congregation. Before service as usual, I asked for the Holy Spirit to prepare us all for worship AND THAT HE DID. I also prayed that the congregation would be receptive to the video I chose to share with them this morning.

The video was actually a music video by Ugly Kid Joe, and the song, more…

John 5:5-14
5 One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?”

7 “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.” more…
