Besides a column applauding Mitch McConnell for locating his spine and demanding an end to what has become a political theater of the absurd, and a piece expressing shocked appreciation for Lindsey Graham’s righteous indignation at the exploitation of both Judge Kavanaugh […]

[Abraham] did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God. Romans 4:20 “You gotta have faith,” people say.

In my Saturday morning listening to The World News Briefing I just have to share it with WGEN readers – especially those who are Believers.  This weeks talk was on the U.N. meetings – and towards the end of the program (around the 35 minute spot)  they really get into what is going on in the Mid East and the […]

The article originally posted at Dutchsheets.org “But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become  extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 At the memorial service for my friend’s dad, someone said to her, “Until I met your father, I didn’t know a person could have fun while helping others.” Her dad contributed his part in helping to build the kingdom of God through serving people, laughing and loving, […]

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. —James 2:1 On my way home from high school I often walked by one cemetery and cut through another.

The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. Isaiah 50:4 A few days after his father died, 30-year-old C. S.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4 When you enter some of the greatest cities in the world, you can encounter famous gates such as the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin), the Jaffa Gate (Jerusalem), and the gates at Downing Street (London). Whether the gates were built for defensive […]

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. James 1:2 Fire can be one of the worst enemies of trees. But it can also be helpful. Experts say that small, frequent fires called “cool” fires clean the forest floor of dead leaves and branches but don’t destroy the trees. They leave behind ashes, […]

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. —2 Timothy 4:7 I read a humorous story about a bloodhound.

Sundays With The Sentinel: “political correctness is ultimately anti-Christian and……evil.  Renounce it.” The Founding Fathers held truth in high regard, as evidenced by the passage in the absolutely brilliant Declaration of Independence which says “we hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among […]
