Every Friday at 9:00 AM, a few men from our church meet for breakfast. [Hint: If you want to join us, we meet each week at the Coffee Cup on North Lafayette Ave. in Terre Haute, Indiana] The food is great, and the fellowship is excellent. Recently, as we were talking, one of the guys […]

Pssst 🎧 I’ve Got a Secret for You
Many years ago, there used to be a TV show called “I’ve Got a Secret.” The point of the show was to find out if four people could ask a famous person the right questions to guess what that person’s job was. The show had four semi-famous panelists (people) that wore blindfolds. Each week a […]

Faith Is Expressed in Love
When I was a young Christian, more than once, I’d hear someone complain that so-and-so was so heavenly-minded that they were no earthly good. In those early years, I learned to identify people who had ignored the warning from James. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, […]

Love Jesus with Reckless Abandon
For a while, when we lived in Florida, we had a mixed Labrador Retriever named Pip. He was all muscle and energy. We had a large fenced-in backyard that was his domain, but a couple of times, we took him to a park where he could just run as fast and as far as he […]

I was reminded today about the three loves each believer has by the power of the Holy Spirit in us. These loves are the love of God, love of us, and love of people. Today, I would like us to focus on our love within communities. Of course, love of us includes love of self; […]

Happy Pi Day!
Yes, as you’ve probably seen, today is 𝛑 (pi) day – March 14 or 3.14. Pi fits in the category of irrational numbers, similar to the irrational numbers my dad used to expect on my report cards. If we turn to the Bible, we find many well-known and vitally important verses found in “3.14.” Here […]
