When They Mock What Matters Most
by Curt Dodd on October 14th, 2025
"Some, however, made fun of them and said, 'They have had too much wine.' Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd..." (Acts 2:13-14) Picture this: You're witnessing the most powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit in history, and some people in the crowd start snickering. "They're just drunk," they say, rolling their eyes at the miracle happening right in front... Read More

Learning To Resist
by Curt Dodd on December 2nd, 2024
Do not love the world or anything in the world. – 1 John 2:15I’ve been on many diets over the years. You don’t get a wonderful figure like mine without some effort. (Of course, that’s tongue in cheek.)I have done the Keto, the Mediterranean, the Scarsdale, and the Weight Watchers diets. You name it, and I’ve done it. I have tried all of those diets over the years to keep the fat off my innermost p... Read More

Think Before You Speak
by Curt Dodd on October 1st, 2022
Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.” (Haggai 1:5) What a probing verse! It is not a friend or a parent who challenges us today; rather, it is the Lord Himself! “Give careful thought to your ways.” There are so many things we do each and every day without a second thought. Some things are done out of habit or possibly impulse, having learned and repeated ce... Read More

A Safe Person
by Curt Dodd on July 5th, 2022
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24)My definition of a safe person is an individual who can see and listen to your pain without passing judgment. They don’t offer trite recipes for “the fix you need,” and they trust the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. That’s a friend…a real friend. Does that mean they will... Read More
