The Man (or Woman) With Five Months to Live
Earlier this year, I read Bill O’Reilly’s book entitled Killing Lincoln. It was a fascinating read, and I learned so much about the history of that period. In the past week, I finished reading O’Reilly’s second ‘killing’ book entitled Killing Kennedy: The End...
The Supporting Cast of Christmas – Caesar Augustus
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are the primary characters in the grand story of Christmas. Without them, there would be no Christmas story. In a movie, play, or television series, there are the main actors and the supporting cast. Those who play supporting roles are...

Vital Signs: Laodicea – Part 2

Let’s Do Christmas Differently This Year

Vital Signs: The Church at Laodicea – The Poor Rich Church
Today we begin our study of the final church in Jesus' letters found in Revelation 2 and 3. The church at Laodicea has always presented such a quandary for me, personally. When Jesus told this church that they were lukewarm, He also said that He would rather...
