John 6:15 states, “When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.”  Back around 1960, a game came out called “King of the Mountain.” I never heard of the game then, but a couple of years before that […]

Acts 4:36-37 states, “And Joses,…a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” The Island of Cyprus, where Joses was from, was a rich country, especially in copper mining. The island was fought over by ruling countries for its wealth. The

Hebrews 6:19, “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” While fishing for salmon on the Columbia River, I watched three men in a small aluminum boat throw out an anchor. Though the water appeared to be as still as a

“BUT THE COMFORTER, WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.” JOHN 14:26 A fellow student in my high school Spanish class, Greg, had a photographic memory. Before a vocabulary test he

John 14:1 states, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” When I was a boy, I loved the water even though I couldn’t swim. I would dive off of the diving board and come up by the ladder. If I missed by a few feet I could dog

Luke 10:3 states, “Go your way: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.” According to my Google search (and I’ve heard it before), wolves very rarely attack humans, much less kill them. From personal experience I can tell you that a pack of howling wolves can keep you up all night and make

Luke 3:10 states, “And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?” My heart was stirred anew when I received a call from Buzz, a friend of 56 years. I knew that Buzz got saved back when we first met. I knew Donna and I had a part in that, even though we

Matthew 24:34 says, “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Mark 13:30 says, “Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pas, till all these things be done.” And Luke 21:32 says, “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till

John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Satan would like to rob us of this peace. Spiritual warfare is real. I like the attitude of “Uncle Bud” Robinson

Matthew 22:8 says, “Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.” As a minister I performed many wedding ceremonies. It was not my favorite thing to do, mainly because everything had to be said just right and in perfect order. I don’t think I ever
