Are you ready? Are you prepared? In 1952 Hank Williams wrote and recorded these words: “No matter how I struggle and strive, I’ll never get out of this world alive.” It seems prophetic when we consider that not long afterward, he would leave this world at only 29 years old. So, are you prepared when your time comes? What does it mean to be ready? The battle is real I see so many who are wrestling through life.... Read more

The marketer desires to cause you to have enough interest that you might be willing to buy or look at the product. So the number one reason for billboards along the interstate highway is to cause you to stop during your travels. Most of the signs are for restaurants.

What is Good? Good: when we think of this word, we immediately think of behavior or flavor. In our standard, everyday speech, we say things like “That was good” after a meal. We see someone and ask how they are, and they say, “I’m good.” We ask the children, “Were you good today?” The word (good) is one of the most common parts of our communication.

Keeping Fear Alive The story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den has become a popular children’s story. However, the context is much more profound. In the current age of fear we live in, those in power want to find new ways to keep the fear alive continually. Moreover, they do not want it to go away.

First, it is “the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.” Second, we see it means “serious thought or consideration.” Let’s consider the second part of this definition for a moment. Believers worldwide will soon celebrate Easter or what I like to call Resurrection Day. There are so many types of celebrations around this event. We see some that are reverent... Read more
