STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 2

    If you’re going to deliver the goods to hungry souls at the street level, it would be advisable to have a solid foundation of the main issues of Bible Prophecy. Having a clear understanding of the basics from the New Testament will work wonders to meet the mockers and scoffers head on and be a contender for the faith (Jude 1:3 KJV). Of course, you need to have the right Bible for the task ahead…that being the King James Version. As I mentioned in our last e

STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 1

      I’ve had my share of firefights over this topic; I’ve lost friends and made more than a few enemies. Nevertheless, this topic could be considered the bedrock of studying Bible Prophecy in that there is only ONE version of the Holy Scriptures that one should consider ‘most accurate.’

      Are you ready? The version that I am referring to is the King James Version; the Authorized Version of the Bible, released to the world in 1611 AND unchallenged in the pu

WHY DIDN’T MY PASTOR TELL ME? PART 2

      In our last thrilling adventure, I shared the question posed by one of the young men I had been teaching among a group of his fellow detainees as the old Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. The teaching session had taken place a few years ago—before the Pandemic hit—with young men from the J-John Unit, in the center’s Chapel. Also on hand were a few Detention Officers who were also interested in the question…and my response.

RETURN OF--THE STAMPEDE!

…but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
--I Samuel 30:6c

During my days as a probation officer--with a high-risk case load--I discovered one cold, cruel reality. I was responsible for my own safety. Never mind the training I had, or the backup I received from law enforcement or the kind words from my judge. I was responsible for me.

This realization takes fear--yes, fear--firmly out of the equation for daily living.

It is up to each Christian to discern truth from

TO REBUILD A PEOPLE

     Every few years, it seems, a group of Blacks get together to come up with ‘The Black Agenda’. The cameras flash and speeches are made…but nothing seems to get done. Recently, I happened to sit in upon such a gathering, and was sorely disappointed with the discussions. You see, those of us who have a touch of gray in our hairlines, and have lived through the turbulent sixties know full well that we, as a people, successfully fought for--and won--many rights that were due u

    A true story to lead off in our batting cage warm-up session.

    A young man, out for his first political office, won the primary and defeated his challenger from within his party by a two-to-one margin. He was looking forward to taking a few weeks off and resting up for the campaign trail to the general election in November. Life--and his party--had other plans. The incumbent of his party that held the seat he was campaigning for suddenly resigned, and vacated the seat.
Remember how I menti

     One of the places where local party officials get access to a wealth of untapped volunteers comes--ironically--from your local school house. Students who take high school courses in Social Studies, U. S. History, Civics or American History are given the opportunity to earn extra credit by ‘working the polls’ during the primary and general elections.

     Don’t be fooled. The ‘dirty little secret (DLS)’ is, while the ‘mainstream mess (MSM)’ cries about the ‘low scores of students’ IN public e

DOING RIGHT…IN A WRONG SOCIETY!

One of my favorite ‘toons from a bygone era featured ‘Droopy’ the dog. This canine would be in impossible situations, and through sheer determination would defeat his adversaries with comical dispatch. In one of these MGM classics, Droopy was in a series of Olympic-type competitions. Droopy won every event. However, his opponent had tricked Droopy into signing a confession that our hero cheated in every event. Well, of course, the judges threw out Droopy’s victorie
