The Wicked Will Be No More

The Wicked Will Be No More

It was a ladies’ Bible study and we finished the session by asking if anyone had a prayer request. Patsy had finally broken free from a long-time abusive marriage, and even after the divorce was final, her ex-husband just wouldn’t leave her alone. The legal piece of paper forbidding him to contact her was a…

Do It Yourself

Do It Yourself

A few nights ago I was watching a much anticipated campmeeting being broadcast on multiple streaming services. The guest speakers were teachers with decades of study and experience in the arena of faith.

Why Is ‘Bathhouse Barry’ Still Relevant?

Why Is ‘Bathhouse Barry’ Still Relevant?

It’s time to put a couple more pieces of the puzzle together in the never-ending saga, “As the Stomach Turns.”   As most of you know, figuring out what the Democrats are actually doing can be challenging, but I believe I have a valuable insight to offer.

Thoughts on Proverbs 27:17 “As Iron Sharpens Iron”

Who Is the Criminal, Trump or Biden?

If you are wondering just how far our nation has fallen into the abyss of Leftist Progressivism, look no further than the difference between how former-President Donald Trump is being treated as compared to current President Joe Biden.
