Notes for the Sober and Not-So-Sober

Notes for the Sober and Not-So-Sober

It’s not every day that you find yourself sitting on the side of the road, having a heart-to-heart with someone who’s had a little too much to drink. But there I was, talking to a friend in a moment that might seem strange to some. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me explain— whether he’s sober or not, he’s a friend. I’ve always believed that if we care about someone in their best moments, we should care about them in their worst ones, too. And that’s exactly what I was doing. He sat on the ground, his body slumped, and he leaned on one arm. His words were like a puzzle scattered on the floor, but I didn’t mind. He was eager to talk, and I was just as anxious to listen. There’s something sacred about moments like this—when words don’t come out ideally, but you can feel the soul behind them. You sense the longing for someone to find a victory even as you sit there listening to his ramblings. 09/25/2024 09:02 AM

Remember the Lord

Remember the Lord

Consider the Source

Consider the Source

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “what on earth is this country (or world) coming to?” I hear it everywhere I go. Now that we’re in election season, I also hear: “Can any candidate I vote for fix this mess?” Let me tell you straight out – I don’t know, but I know the right source to turn to. Whenever asked whether they should vote, or how they should vote, I say consider the source and find out what God says about it. For certain, if Christians are not engaged in politics, decisions will be made by people who think God is irrelevant and the truth of God’s word does not exist. 09/25/2024 09:02 AM
