What do you do when the clouds come?

Clouds come into our lives in many ways. Last Tuesday they arrived with dark, cold overcast skies and icy rain, causing spirits to sink.

Preparing for Lent

Lent, the 40 days before Easter, begins on Ash Wednesday, which is this week. Sundays are not counted during the 40 days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. A season for soul-searching and repentance, Lent is a time to reflect and take inventory of one's life. It originated in the early days of the church as a preparatory time for Easter. During this season traditionally, the faithful rededicate themselves and converts were instructed in the faith ...

Hard work is key to success

At the beginning of each new year, someone says: "Last year just flew by." In reality, each year takes roughly the same amount of time to pass.

It is time for a change

The year 2008 is a new year and eight represents a new beginning. We sometimes say, "It's time for a change." If what we are doing is not working or helping us meet the goal or vision that God gave us, we need to change. During my military service I saw others make decisions to get out or retire. I sometimes asked why and how they knew when it was time. Some told me that ...

That's what C*****mas means to me

Do you find the title appalling or maybe even offensive? This holiday has taken quite a beating over the last few years. But this year, my senses seem to be heightened to its plight.

Introducing Church of Praise and Deliverance

The name "Judah" immediately grabs your attention. One might ask why a pastor would name the church "Judah." "Because we love to praise God," said Pastor Melvin Elliott." The name Judah means, "praise." Of the 12 tribes of Israel, Jesus was from the tribe of Judah.

There is a feeling in the air that something good is about to happen. These feelings of joy and goodwill put you in the spirit of giving ...

Faith leads injured musician down new path

James Cannon was a typical ninth grader who was out riding his bicycle with a group of friends that fateful summer day. One moment he was riding his bike, the next he was laying paralyzed in the grass beside the highway.

What is worth investing in?

The other day, as I was walking past my mailbox, I took a long look at it. It is old, faded and slides a little bit forward when one opens it.

Remember all fathers on their day

Tomorrow is Father's Day. We all know that it is not quite the same event that Mother's Day is, and that is fine. We all know the value of a godly mother.

God always offers forgiveness

God sent his Son to pay a debt that man could not and cannot pay - the debt of sin.

A father's love in action

Father's Day does not receive the recognition that Mother's Day receives personally or commercially. Personally, I think Father's Day should have a greater appreciation and a greater recognition based on a biblical prospective.

Why not let God restore your soul?

Last week, I wrote that I have been preaching through the 23rd Psalm. I would like for you to consider an idea from that Psalm that remains a powerful image in my mind.

Seek the word of the Lord

Last week, we began looking at the idea of putting our faith in God. Some people have a problem with this, for they trust only in themselves. Much of this comes from humanistic teaching in our schools today. Our young people are faced with instructors who do not believe in the Bible. Generations are being reared to believe that man has all the answers. This false idea makes it difficult for religious teaching to be accepted.
