Whodunnit?

So, pedophile billionaire Jeffery Epstein is dead. There are many very powerful men in Washington and indeed all over the world breathing a collective sigh of relief over his demise today. The spin machines of these men of wealth have been spinning faster than a washing machine gone haywire to distance themselves from Epstein. Heads of state, Saudi Princes, mega powerful business o

Armor of light

Today I was studying Ephesians and the passage about putting on the full armor of God stood out to me. The real enemy in our lives is not any particular person. No matter how evil someone might be, rest assured they received their direction from Satan. Spiritual warfare is a WAR between two opposing forces. As with any war there are serious casualties and it’s a serious battle. S

I tried watching a highly acclaimed movie on Netflix the other night and after just a few minutes turned it off in disgust. It was filled with profanity with the “F” word being used over and again. The lead actors and actresses were constantly drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes and literally a half dozen people were depicted as being violently killed by the” heroes” of

Six police officers were shot by a drug dealer in Philadelphia this week. As the police called in reinforcements the crowd that assembled jeered at them, threw objects, shoved them, and otherwise showed utter contempt for those brave men and women who risk their lives to protect them. It is yet another disturbing sign of the times . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019

Tomorrow I leave for Waco Texas to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bill Glass prison ministry. I spent several years traveling around the country speaking at prisons with this ministry and saw many men and women come to know Christ and also served on his board of directors for a while . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/08/a-hint-of-wisdom-finally/

Petunia

Aug 19 2019 3 mins

I tend to think often of my failures in life and not my triumphs. I was thinking of this problem this morning and my thoughts went to some of the positive things, indeed miraculous things I’ve accomplished, and some are very impressive. I do not say this to boast but to encourage. I truly believe that most people are held back by their low self-esteem. I had an especially bad cas

I have a rough draft of a book I wrote several years ago that remains languishing on my computer and lately I’ve felt the urge to get it finished. It is a fictional novel that is filled with intrigue and mystery and is fascinating to read, or at least that is what I’ve been told by the few people I’ve shared the rough draft with. The problem with the book is the ending. A goo

Yesterday I was picking out wood floor coverings for a room I’m renovating in my house. A very nice young man was helping me, and I was in a hurry because I needed to meet with the superintendent who was managing my job. As he was typing up a quote for the sample I picked out, he asked for my e-mail address. It contained the words: @JesusAlliance.org and he asked me what the Jesu

It seems like I get an e-mail or two a day from folks all over the world offering me huge amounts of money provided I will just hurry and send them some money to pay for transferring it. Of course these are nothing but scams and one of many nefarious schemes of crooks trying to get rich quick by preying on the gullible . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2019/08/you-are-

Quit holding back!

I receive a wealth of requests to explain different passages from the Bible almost on a daily basis from folks I don’t even know. I’ve always felt uncomfortable about this because my education has not been formal but came through decades of reading and studying the Bible and various commentaries on my own. I feel the same sometimes about attempting to write books, especially on
