Anastasia

Everything ever written about Jesus has been written since his resurrection. The resurrection of Jesus sets Him apart from all other religious leaders in all of history: they’re still dead. He’s alive! Take away Jesus’ resurrection and your faith in Him collapses. Your faith is in vain. Nothing about Jesus would be worth discussing orContinue reading “Anastasia”

Hope In History

[NOTE: This teaching supplements and “piggybacks” on my friend Gerry Beauchemin’s groundbreaking book Hope For All. I strongly urge you to obtain a copy of Gerry’s startling book at hopeforallfellowship.com or amazon.com] There’s an ancient teaching that was almost abandoned or set aside as being incorrect about 1,500 years ago, but was resurrected in partContinue reading “Hope In History”

Religious Dogma

To begin this teaching, I’ll define “dogma” as shown in most dictionaries:  “Dogma is when an individual or group teaches you something in an attempt to convince you their view is authoritative or the only truth about a subject—that their belief or view is the only correct one.” Dogma can be asserted or presented inContinue reading “Religious Dogma”

March 2017: Final Issue/Good News, Part Two

Good News Continued from last month How does a person enter into a relationship with a loving God and begin living an abundant LIFE He promises us?

February 2017: Good News, Part One

Good News Long ago, a believer in Jesus named Paul wrote these words:  “I’m not ashamed of the Good News of what God has done for everyone through Jesus.  In fact, that Good News contains within itself actual power to save everyone who believes it.” Paul also wrote:  “If you honestly proclaim out loud to others that JesusContinue reading “February 2017: Good News, Part One”

January 2017: A Tale of Horses

A Tale of Horses  God continues to do all that is necessary to bring YOU into absolute surrender to his will.  After all, haven’t you prayed in one way or another for his will to be done on earth—and in you—as it is in heaven—in the so-called Lord’s Prayer?   We live during an amazing eraContinue reading “January 2017: A Tale of Horses”

December 2016: The Christmas Story

The Christmas Story Note:  I wrote this Christmas story a few years ago when friends asked me to sort of “update” it and make it more readable.  I wrote it to be read serially a little at a time (perhaps a day at a time) for a few weeks leading up to Christmas. Read it asContinue reading “December 2016: The Christmas Story”

November 2016: Acres of Diamonds Part Two

Enough For Our Journeys Continued from last month Money—or the lack thereof—plays a very important role in the basic happiness and mental and emotional health of most people.  Like it or not, money often governs the way you think, feel, and live your life on a daily basis.  If you don’t have enough money, then moneyContinue reading “November 2016: Acres of Diamonds Part Two”

 The year was 1870.  In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USAmerica, Russell Conwell, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, presented a lecture he entitled “Acres of Diamonds.”   The lecture struck a responsive chord in the hearts of his audience, and in years to come he presented the same lecture over 6,000 more times in scores of different settings, rangingContinue reading “October 2016: Acres of Diamonds, Part One”

September 2016: Happy Seventh Anniversary

In the first issue of The Traveler in September 2009, I wrote:  “Each of us is a traveler through the eons of time and beyond—into our final, eternal state of being!” For a couple of reasons, each September’s issue of The Traveler is very similar to the September issues of  previous years.  First, because we are constantly adding new e-mailContinue reading “September 2016: Happy Seventh Anniversary”
