A Language Lesson MISH-PA-KHA
MISH-PA-KHA ... WHO ARE WE? A covenant with Abram: Genesis 12:2 (AMP) And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you [abundantly], And make your name great (exalted, distinguished); And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others]; Genesis 12:3 (AMP) And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you, And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you. And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed."
I’LL BE BACK … a threat or a promise?
The 1984 movie, Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, has become famous for one line: "I'll be back!" Arnold wanted the line to be "I will be back," because he thought it sounded more futuristic. After several takes of the scene, they settled on the way the Director, James Cameron, wanted; thus, "I'll be back!" has been...
Chalk The Corner
What? You've never played Chalk The Corner? Where were you brought up? Were you raised in a world without sidewalks? Seriously, I remember when my neighborhood in Moberly, Missouri didn't have sidewalks (at least not in my immediate area). When they arrived, a new game came into the lives of all of us kids. The...
From My Perspective
THE PEOPLE I am always aware of the potential power of the pulpit. It is never to be taken lightly. Most people "come to church" without an awareness of "being the church." Millions of people around the world assemble at a given time in a given place to "worship" without an awareness of being the...
The End and The Beginning of The End
My “Writing Room” is not an “office” nor is it a “Pastor’s Study.” It is where I write. It’s where I write emails and commentaries, log my activities, and do online research. Occasionally, I use it to record a video using the title, “Sightline with Dr. C.” I continue to plan to release them by posting on a Youtube channel.
A scene of true spiritual refreshment
The Branson Church of The Harvest was a scene of true spiritual refreshment yesterday.
IF YOU NEED AN EXPERT
By Paul C. Collins, M.Div. ; Th.D. IF YOU NEED AN EXPERT, don't call me. The longer I live the more I know I don't know. It is a little ironic that some of us have been on Earth for many years and are continuing in the journey of discovery. The globe is so huge...
Engaging The World
Eighteen-point type is large enough for almost everyone to see clearly. Life is not that simple. Sorry, it’s true! Life is complicated and, sometimes, like a minefield to be navigated to avoid dangerous consequences. The foregoing paragraph was the setup for this meandering in my search for a way to help us engage...
90 Years, 124 days (almost)
A progress report? By Paul C. Collins It is 4:07 P.M. October 2, 2025 as I sit in my writing room at my computer desk. I am just beginning the process of typing something to resemble a short memoir, or a secular look at today’s world, or a prophetic view of events and circumstances....
POWERFUL, PERSUASIVE, PROTECTIVE
As a young pastor in a small, county seat town, I quickly "Made friends of Mammon" even before I knew the ramifications. I identified the power connected with being the banker, the local doctor, undertaker, sheriff, and the barber. The banker became my friend because he loaned me money to buy a car. I made...
