In this post, I share my book review of the Christian classic Turkeys & Eagles by Peter Lord. This book reveals how many Christians have been duped into believing that, at salvation, they did not become the new creation that God declares them to be. We were born again as Eagles in Him, but if we don’t realize it, we will miss out on the enjoyment and expression of this truth in this life!

Kids Say the Darndest Things
I will never forget what my 4-year-old grandson, Logan, said to the waitress that night in the restaurant. (He’s 10 now.) As everyone with small children knows, public dining can oftentimes be a less than pleasurable experience—especially when our pint-sized dinner companions aren’t getting their own way and/or it’s close to their bedtime.

What You May Not Know about This Romantic Love Song
Song of Solomon is one of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and was written in Jerusalem around 1000 BC by Solomon during the early years of his reign as king. He also wrote Ecclesiastes and most of the book of Proverbs. All three books are sandwiched between the Psalms and Isaiah, beginning with […]
The Most Important Verse in the Bible
We see it plastered on billboards, painted on signs being waved by fans in football stadiums and also on some of the players’ faces. It’s one of the first verses we memorize as children in Sunday school. Most Americans have been exposed to what I believe is the most important verse in the Bible. It’s […]

Do You Have a Sweet Spot?
Do you have a sweet spot? A place where you savor life? A place where all is good and right and wonderful in your world? Just in case you’re wondering, I’m talking about a state of mind—not an actual physical place. A state of mind where you find contentment, regardless of your external circumstances (Isa. […]
Why I Love Jesus So Much
I have often wondered why the Lord created me to be such a romantic. At times, I’ve even thought, “There must be something wrong with me because of my strong desire to be romanced.” My teenage years were spent dreaming of the day when the perfect man would ride into my life on a white […]
