... a true servant of God is someone who helps another succeed.

In some Churches today and on some religious television programs, we see the attempt to make Christianity popular and pleasant. We have taken the cross away and substituted cushions.

The cross is offensive because it directly confronts the evils which dominate so much of this world.

It is impossible to live pure lives until we have pure hearts. Many people today are trying to put the cart before the horse. They are teaching purity of motives, desires, and actions to old, deceitful hearts! No wonder we have ended up such moral failures, in spite of our vaunted knowledge and psychological approaches.

To paraphrase the Bible, what shall it profit a man (or a woman) who gains the whole world but loses his or her own family?

Please join me in praying for America, that we will turn our hearts back toward God.

Prayer never works for me on the golf course. That may have something to do with my being a terrible putter.
