Hurricane Ian–Biblical Implications, a Time for Prayer and Fasting

Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is.

The Adventist Calling

Sketch: The title of my sermon is, “The Adventist Calling.” This is the second sermon in my new series, “Stories from Mark.” You may well ask, What is the Adventist Calling?

The Owner & The Vinedressers

I am beginning a new sermon series on the gospel of Mark. Why? Because I have been impressed by how this shortest of the four gospels moves.

Psalm 98, verse 1 says: “Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!

But whose victory?Continue reading ““Making Known His Victory””

The Tragic Irony of Solar

Going green is not really all that green. When will we ever learn to count the whole cost? The push to go solar in California, is now resulting in a huge mess for how to dispose of these “toxic solar panels.” The heavy metals like selenium and cadmium can leach into and poison underground waterContinue reading “The Tragic Irony of Solar”
