APPLE PRODUCTS don’t usually get me to thinking about God. If anything, they point me in the other direction. That’s because I don’t usually think about them until they start giving me problems. GarageBand is an exception. It’s an app I downloaded to …
The following is an excerpt from Who’s Who and Where’s Where in the Bible 2.0. IT’S HARD TO SAY ANYTHING GOOD about Samson, once you’ve read his story. Especially perplexing is why God chose him to become a national hero. And why an unnamed writer in …
HERE’S THE MORAL of the story, first: Don’t be messing with your iPhone during prayer. My Bible study group had just enjoyed a wonderful Mother’s Day Bible study this past Sunday. Two gentlemen in the class tag-teamed to lead our session. They did a …
YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION with a chainsaw during our Bible study this past Sunday. It so troubled one member of the group that he had a hard time focusing on the sermon afterward. Have you ever been in a Bible study group when things suddenly got …

“HOLY CRAP!” That’s what my daughter said were the first words out of my mouth when I woke up from a short nap in the car on Monday afternoon. Rebecca and I were about halfway home to the Kansas City area, after visiting family 800 …
IT’S THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK. It comes from Artha Waycaster. She wins a free book for her trouble. How do you feel about the subject once saved always saved? I tend to think you can lose your way after becoming a Christian. My sister thinks …
