Heaven is a place, a real physical place! Some believe it is a state of being, kind of like a dream. Speaking of Jesus, John said, “All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.” We can see much of His creation, so we know that He can … Continue reading Heaven Is A Real, Physical Place – 07.29.2026

A Place Called Heaven – 07.28.2026
“There is a place that’s called Heaven, it’s the home of the happy and free. Fair haven of rest for the weary, How Beautiful Heaven Must Be!” A pastor was telling about a trip he and his wife made to Hawaii. He said that he gathered all the travel brochures he could find and they … Continue reading A Place Called Heaven – 07.28.2026
Heaven Is Being Prepared – 07.27.2026
God is not a reactionary. That is, He does not wait to see what we are going to do before He acts. His plans pre-empt our plans, so before we think something or do something, He has gone before and dealt with it. He knew Adam and Eve would sin before He put them in … Continue reading Heaven Is Being Prepared – 07.27.2026
Send Revival, Fan The Flames, Fill My Cup – 07.26.2026
Dear Lord, give us the wisdom to understand the gravity of the issues we are now facing. Help us to realize as well, the spiritual condition of our society, and that of the Church.

Spiritual Bankruptcy – 07.25.2026
Many people have gone into bankruptcy because of careless attention to their books, over-extending themselves, or because of economic downturn. Close attention to their lifestyle might have prevented this. More, though, are in spiritual bankruptcy because of carelessness to their souls welfare. Most of these don’t seem to care and just go deeper in debt, … Continue reading Spiritual Bankruptcy – 07.25.2026
Who Knows What Evil Lurks In The Heart Of A Man? – 07.24.2026
As a kid I listened to an exciting radio program called, “The Shadow.” No one could see him, so he was able to stop or solve crimes. He could even strike someone, even though they couldn’t see him. The program opened with the words, “Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of a man? … Continue reading Who Knows What Evil Lurks In The Heart Of A Man? – 07.24.2026
Let God Take The Wheel – 07.23.2026
A driver, use to maneuvering the crowded streets of London, was criticized by a passenger for the way he was driving. At this point the driver pulled over and said, “Here, if you don’t like the way I am driving, please take the wheel.” Of course, the man declined and held his peace. Some people … Continue reading Let God Take The Wheel – 07.23.2026
Alone, Yet Not Alone – 07.22.2026
The Lord uttered a strange paradox when He said, “I am alone, yet not alone.” He could have said truthfully, “I am alone,” for His followers were leaving Him. This would be descriptive of many people today who feel alone even though living in crowded cities. Psychiatrists have a medical term for this, for many … Continue reading Alone, Yet Not Alone – 07.22.2026
Are You Going The Wrong Direction? – 07.21.2026
My dad was never good with directions. When he and mom traveled together, he drove while she sat over there with a map on her lap, telling him which way to go. When I was a small lad, we had moved to Homerville, Georgia. Not familiar with the area, we started out for Atlanta and … Continue reading Are You Going The Wrong Direction? – 07.21.2026
The Master Renovator – 07.20.2026
The last church that I pastored, Atlanta Riverside, worshiped in a very old building. It had been remodeled many times, and that was not by professionals. So as we attempted another remodeling, there was much that we had to tear down in order to repair. The electrical wiring needed to be updated and those who … Continue reading The Master Renovator – 07.20.2026
