Happy Resurrection Day! One of my best memories of a resurrection day is watching Annie Herring play and sing her “Easter Song” in 1978 at the California Men’s Colony chapel. I had experienced my own, personal resurrection there a few years earlier, when I was born again on May 23, 1975.

Happy Springtime: My sole purpose is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, Who took our punishment for sin at the cross. His blood made peace with God, and His resurrection gave us eternal life and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Happy Valentine’s Day! True security is based on God’s love. It’s not an emotion, but a matter of fact, since God proved His love for us by sending His Son to die for our sins.

Amazing Grace! I’m often asked, “What keeps you going?” Simply, the love of Christ “compels” me, or “holds me together” no matter how dim things look. The apostle Paul wrote:

Happy Mother’s Day! I was blessed with wonderful parents, but that’s not always the case for everyone. For those left with painful memories, the psalmist David gave us a confession of good news:
