Welcome!

I was a moderator for a very popular web site devoted to our craft. The owner and administrator of that web site are good people. As an invited moderator I was under their authority when I post on that web site. I am truly blessed to have a small part in providing Biblical guidance and emotional comfort to those who request such via that web site.

God burdened my heart to go even further in offering some respite from the harshness of this life; therefore, I started this blog with the Lord's help. It is because of Him that this site exists.

The Bible says, Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Romans 14:1-5

The key sentence in the passage is: Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. I am persuaded that there are Christians who want to share the burdens of this earthly existence and encourage one another in the faith without having to be exposed to the filth and vulgarity that is so commonplace on web forums.

Here is a resting place for those who want to be a part of something good, and clean, and pure. The Bible says, Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:40 That is how this forum will be conducted.

There is one simple rule. The Bible says, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

I encourage everyone to post. Post that which is good. Abstain from posting anything that has even the appearance of evil.

Stop to Review


By R.D. Sandlin


“All these things are against me.” Unknown to the old patriarch, God was behind the scenes working everything out for Jacob’s good. Because of weakness of faith, and weariness of the flesh, we, like Jacob, respond in the same manner. We often misapprehend that which is for us, as being against us. It proved otherwise in Jacob’s case, and it will in ours. True, humanly, everything was working against him; but, Divinely, it was all working for him.



No wonder the sweet psalmist said, “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help...” The suffering servant, Paul, had grasped this blessed truth in his life. Listen to him: “For our light affliction [severe sufferings], which is but for a moment [twenty years], worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” How did he come to this concrete conclusion? By simply not looking at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” So says our precious Lord.



Hind-sight always proves the truth of Romans- Ro.8:28.
