Yesterday I saw a bluejay with the broken leg at my bird feeder. He was still eating and resting like nothing happened! He knew how to make the most of his situation. Just like that...
Good Morning!
After 40 years of pastoral ministry, I am stepping down as Senior Pastor. Over these forty years of preaching and teaching God’s Word, I have developed Bible studies on different books of the Bible, subjects, and theological studies, such as living in the last days, etc.
Over the next several months, I will be developing small group and individual studies to help you grow in your faith in Jesus Christ.
I just finished a study on the Apostle’s Creed titled, Leaving the Slippery Slopes!: Avoiding the pitfalls in life by establishing a solid Biblical belief foundation. You can find the book on Amazon.com.
Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP6L782C
You can find a pdf version of the Bible study on ETSY at the following link.

Soon, I will finish my book on Living the Good Life. It is an in-depth study on Psalms 23. Should finish by April, hopefully.
Favorite Bible Passage:
Job 19:23–27 KJV “19:23 ¶ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.”
Why is this my favorite passage? Because regardless of what comes in this life, if you know Christ as your Saviour, when this life is over you will have an eternity with Him.
I love the assurance of eternal life found in Jesus because without Him we have no hope, joy, or peace.
