Finishing Well
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).
Death and "Name It, Claim It" Theology
Not many weeks ago, a man in our local area died. There is no need to call his name, as most believers in the Southeastern Indiana region will know about him already. He wrote a book. Though I have only read bits and pieces of the book, it was clear to me where he was headed with it. He began the book by speaking of a "more spiritual" way to read the Bible than all of us ignorant folk who just believe God says what He means and that God actually gave us an accurate history of His dealings with mankind and of the sending of His Son to save sinners.
Train Whistles and Eden
Nearly every day since we settled into our new home in Depauw, IN my wife and I speak of being amazed that God has given us such an amazing home on such a gorgeous piece of property. The home we purchased (or are paying the bank for) sat empty for a year or more and we are astounded! Now, the home is not lavish. It is a simple home built in 1964 by a couple who had been, up until we moved in, its only occupants. And, the property may not suit a city boy's fancy. But we truly feel like the Lord reserved this spot just for us. We are amazed!
