NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD.

Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God. For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.” Then he said, “You skillfully […]

THE GREATEST SACRIFICE

It’s easy with the normal hustle and bustle of our day-to-day lives to simply look at Memorial Day as a day to have some friends over, fire up the grill, relax and just enjoy a day NOT at work. Even when we consider what the holiday commemorates we often mistake it for another Veterans Day. […]

MORE PRECIOUS THAN RUBIES

As I was thinking about mother’s day and the most important women in my life, I opened the bible and read the scripture I believe really paints the picture of what a Godly women looks like – Proverbs 31. As I read, I got to verse 10 and stopped… “Who can find a virtuous and […]

STRIKE ZONE!

Spring time! Springtime means its time for America’s favorite past time – BASEBALL! I love baseball! I love everything about the game. I love playing it. I love the history. I love the stadiums. There’s nothing like being at your favorite stadium on a sunny day, watching your favorite team with a loaded up hot dog […]

THE DIFFERENCE A DAY CAN MAKE

August 28, 2005 – 4:30 am… …phone rings… “Hello” “Tony, where are you?” “I’m at home in bed, where else would I be?” “You haven’t left?! We left last night.” “No I’m not leaving.” “Man, you need to pack it up and get out of there! This is the one. It’s going to be bad!” […]

TWISTED

For many years the mainstream media has attempted to contort, bend, distort – twist Christianity. They do this in an attempt to discredit the Word of God and Christians. As a Christian this is frustrating, but at the end of the day we know they will never be successful. They may deceive a few people […]

IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED!

About a month ago I received an email from one of the Pastors at my church* about a serve opportunity at Rayburn Correctional Center. I have never served at a jail or prison in the past, so this would be a completely new experience for me. The Pastor wrote the email in a tone that […]

PROMISES, PROMISES…

Back in 1983 there was a song by Naked Eyes called “Promises, Promises”. (I realize I just aged myself) The song started off like this: Never had a doubt In the beginning Never a doubt Trusted too true In the beginning I loved you right through You made me promises promises Knowing I’d believe Promises […]

THE CHOICE

First I would like to give you the backstory on how this post came about. It was inspired by a conversation we had in my Men’s Group a couple of weeks ago. One night in our group meeting, Dan, a very good friend of over 20 years, asked the question “Have you ever thought about […]

THE JOURNEY OF 1000 MILES STARTS WITH THE 1st STEP (or stumble forward)

Here I go. I’m starting a blog. The funny thing is that I never thought much about blogs before now. I’ve never really read them. I didn’t get it. Actually, I don’t know that I get it now. So then I guess the question is… “Why start a blog?” “Why now?” The answer is pretty […]
