John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar […]

FCFI January 11, 2026 I’ve had a few very diverse experiences in my life – yet somehow closely related. My first trip across the country in an airplane was from Los Angeles to Chicago. I was about 20 years old at the time. Nothing exciting happened on that flight – unless lunch counts as exciting. […]

Philippians 1:14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Peter was wanting to follow Jesus but Jesus told him not now. Look how things worked out for the Apostle Paul. He waited and in God’s time Paul […]

John 13:37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? Jesus was speaking to the Apostles and telling them He was leaving them for a while (His death). He told them they could not follow at the moment but that they could follow Him later. Peter was always a little bullheaded (remember having to be told […]
