“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: […]

Marijuana and the Christian
The culture in America is changing quickly, and not necessarily for the good. Christians generally agree that issues such as abortion, pornography, or same-sex marriages are immoral, unbiblical, and harmful to society at large. Not all agree about substance abuse in areas such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs like marijuana. Churches have long had to […]
C.S. Lewis: A Life Inspired
I have read a lot of C.S. Lewis in my lifetime, so I was interested when Kindle offered this book free by Wyatt North Publishing. I was not disappointed. This is a new attempt at giving the spiritual journey of Lewis beginning with his separated childhood, secluded in a country house with nothing but books, […]
Pilgrims and Strangers
As believers in a country that is fast becoming ungodly, we are at that point where we are wondering what freedom will actually look like in the near future. It is difficult to follow all the details in the news about how the government works and what the issues are that affect us. What seems […]
Whatever Happened to Morality?
The contemporary moral climate does not favor a faith as tough and fibrous as that taught by our Lord and His apostles. Christ calls men to carry His cross; we call them to have fun in His name! He calls them to suffer; we call them to enjoy all the bourgeois comforts modern civilization affords! […]
Practical Happiness
This is from a series of books by Schultz designed to encourage young men in their walk with God. The sub-title is, “A young man’s guide to a contented life.” I had not read Schultz before but I enjoyed his easy way of writing (or speaking) to a younger generation. This book has 36 chapters […]
Starting Point: Finding Your Place in t...
This is a process, or plan, to assimilate people into the church. This is done by Andy Stanley’s ministry and is used in many churches across the country. I thought it had many good ideas and good methods for following up on interested people. The downsides are a weak view on creation (chapter 3), a […]
How Christians Should Relate to Governme...
I read the Kindle version of this book. I find that when I do that, my reading can get interrupted by several days or even weeks (because I’m also reading one or two other books on the same device). For the most part I enjoyed Grudem’s thoughts and points on Christian involvement in government. I […]
Not By Bread Alone
And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:3-4 Do […]
The Pilgrim’s Progress
How many years has it been since you first read this classic book? I decided it had been too long for me and when I acquired a used Kindle with this book already on it, I read it that way. I must say that I again enjoyed it thoroughly and was challenged by its illustrations. […]
