Eyes for Eternity
Feb 21st
Robin Hiser is a high-functioning Down syndrome woman in her fifties who has a deep and abiding love for the Lord. She lifts others up through her encouraging words and genuine love for people, and she gives God all the glory. Robin recognizes the value of every person and sees them as a creation of God and a part of his handiwork. Although she admits it is difficult for her when some people look down on her because she looks and talks differently, she knows God created her for a special purpose.
Robin loves to worship the Lord and read her More >
Blessed Voice
Feb 13th
As our hearts grieve over the untimely death of Whitney Houston, we feel a deep sadness at the loss of such a great artist. Our minds race with questions as to how this could have happened and why. There is no easy way to understand all of this, but there are some truths amidst the grief which we can hold onto in life.
- We all struggle. Our struggle may not be as public or as painful as Whitney’s, but we all have areas in which we struggle to overcome bad habits or destructive tendencies. The Bible reminds us that we have More >
From Surgeon on Unbelief
Jan 20th
“How long will it be ere they believe me?” –Numbers 14:11
Strive with all diligence to keep out that monster unbelief. It so dishonours Christ, that He will withdraw His visible presence if we insult Him by indulging it. It is true it is a weed, the seeds of which we an never entirely extract from the soil, but we must aim at its root with zeal and perseverance. Among hateful things it is the most to be abhorred. Its injurious nature is so venomous that he that exerciseth it and he upon whom it is exercised are both hurt thereby. In More >
Growing through Challenges
Jan 9th
The following is an excerpt from one of my favorite devotionals, Streams in the Desert.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Rom. 8:18).
I kept for nearly a year the flask-shaped cocoon of an emperor moth. It is very peculiar in its construction. A narrow opening is left in the neck of the flask, through which the perfect insect forces its way, so that a forsaken cocoon is as entire as one still tenanted, no rupture of the interlacing fibers having taken place.

Happy 2012
Jan 1st
I love the freshness of a new year. It is a perfect time to work on throwing out some old, not-so-pretty habits, and instead push forward with some positive new hopes and dreams in our lives. Each year we want to get better and better, but how do we do that in a practical sense? I want to encourage you to take some time this week to be alone with the Lord seek His help and guidance as you prayerfully consider what is ahead of you this year.
The most important encouragement I could give you is to devote each day More >
What if He Never Came…
Dec 27th
“His name shall be called Emmanuel . . . God with us.” (Matt. 1:23) . “The Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6). “There’s a song in the air! There’s a star in the sky! There’s a mother’s deep prayer, And a baby’s low cry! And the star rains its fire While the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King.” A few years ago a striking Christmas card was published, with the title, “If Christ had not come.” It was founded upon our Saviour’s words, “If I had not come.” The card represented a clergyman falling into a short More >
Operation Care
Dec 21st
This past Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to join together with hundreds of volunteers at Operation Care Dallas as we touched the lives of thousands of homeless men and women. We handed out Christmas gifts of help and hope to meet both their physical as well as their spiritual needs. They were given clothing, shoes, food, blankets, haircuts, medical help and love. The organizer, Susie Jennings, whom you see in the picture with me exudes a true love for Jesus and a desire to serve Him by touching the lives of others.
I served in the optical area helping our More >
