This is where the rubber meets the road. The first automobile accident in America allegedly took place in Ohio City, Ohio in 1891 (from “Ohio History Central”, an Ohio history website run by the Historical Society, Ohio History Connection). Accurate or not, car crashes are certainly bound to happen. In Bible times, this was not […]
This is a phrase seldom, if ever, heard anymore. The days of the true “service station” are gone. There may still be some places where an attendant will put gas in your tank while you sit in the car. Gas stations once had an air hose and water hose right by the gas pump. The
In 1857, the rule that required nine innings in a baseball game was established. Though every run was important in adding up to the total score, the ninth-inning runs got the attention. This is where the drama heated up. In God’s “game,” the ninth hour is the big showdown. The ninth hour begins at 3:00

Most people reading these words live in America, the land of the “free.” It is also a land governed by law. The law may seem to restrict us at times, but it is meant for our good. It ensures freedom for all. It is a great plan until it falls into the hands of evil
While driving along Highway 395, south of Spokane, I noticed a small sign. Someone had roughly painted on a little board the words “Hell is hot,” and nailed it on a tree. Being a Christian, preacher, and Bible reader, I knew Hell was hot. However, as I drove along I searched my soul. I don’t
Are sin and Covid related? Yes! Wow! That is not a politically correct answer. If you are still with me, take the time to find a Bible and turn to Luke 13:1-17. A very dear Christian friend of mine came down with Covid. He and his wife were helping my wife and I pack so
