“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2) This has been one of my favorite passages ever since I first heard it in a song back when I was in the Navy, in the 70s. I heard the […]
I ran across an article this morning and thought I would write a little something about it. So, this isn’t going to start out like a post about the article, but I’ll get back to it eventually. The thing that sparked my interest is the idea that being a people pleaser is a personality type. […]
I was reading a young lady’s post about why she is no longer a Christian, and this was one of her reasons, “There many other books that could have been in the canon – and in some cases, were in the canon but got removed later.” Here’s what I think about that. What this person […]
These are notes of a talk I gave at a conference in February 2022. The talk was filmed by Canon Press and when I find out where that can be viewed, I’ll put a link to it. Because these are notes, you should know that there is a lot of information, not here. If you […]

It was way back in the last century, I was working with a bunch of folks to start a church, in Eureka, CA. We were meeting in a grange hall with only around 30 people. The men noticed that there was a large, I think double-wide, mobile home parked right next to the hall and […]
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders” (Ps 107:31–32). This is a wonderful psalm. As usual, whenever anyone quotes a passage like […]
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I […]
