“And Ruth said, “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go: and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die and there will I be buried: the LORD…
“And they lifted up their voice and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth clave unto her. And she (Naomi) said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister-in-law.” – Ruth 1:14-15 Naomi, Ruth and Orpah were heading back to the land of…
This week I am floating somewhere in the Bahamas on the Gospel Cruise, Singing at Sea. In addition to the great music we’ll hear while on the open sea, we’ll also hear some good preaching. One of those preachers is Phil Hoskins. I heard him for the very first time last summer in Gatlinburg…
This year I hope to introduce a new series to my readers called “From The Word.” It will feature YouTube videos of biblical sermons from a variety of speakers to strengthen and encourage our faith. The first selection is from Mark Trammell where he preaches on the difference between happiness and blessedness. The video is…

Personally, I find it very frustrating that there isn’t some scientific…
“He said, ‘I thirst,’ – yet, He made the rivers…” It’s hard to comprehend how the One who spoke everything into existence would ever want for anything…especially something simple like water. Yet, we see that there upon the cross, He thirsted for that which He desired most – You and I. So far, we have…
Most likely, we have all heard the story of the woman at the well. It has been the subject of many sermons and many songs…yet, have you ever noticed how many other women in the Bible ended up by a well when they were hurting, weary, or when something important was about to happen in…
