A Rim of Light
With elections just completed and Thanksgiving creeping up on us, we are in the midst of the screamers on the radio and television talk shows warning us of the “crooks” running for office, or the “blindness and the incompetence” of our elected representatives, and of...
Just Be There
Dear Keith, I’m having trouble with my prayer life. I’m not getting a lot of my prayers answered. (And I’m praying “in Jesus’ name.”) He indicated that he would answer prayers that were prayed in his name. Can you shed any light on that? And can you advise me...
Impossible Answers to Impossible Questions
Who is God, and what is the Bible really all about? I try to tell my children that God is love. But I see God’s people in the Bible (and in history today) slaughter people in God’s name. Can you give me a simple definition of who God is and what the Bible is all...
The Gamble of Faith

Is there Any Power in Simple Loving?
Sometimes I feel like my life for Christ doesn’t amount to much. I don’t do big things that change people or their lives, and I don’t know how to do that. Someone told me that they felt their purpose is just to love people. But I can’t see how simple acts of love...
Driving Through Life
Last week I got a text message from a new friend: “Can you tell me what God is to you?” I realized how different a world we live in to try to communicate the Gospel (than the one I learned about God). Not that the question was bad in any way. It was a great...
