What Else Can Go Wrong?
Too many parts of the U.S.A. are trying to recover from "natural" disasters. The middle of summer is a time when it is supposed to be dry. Instead, the rain continues to leave its heavenly reservoirs and plummet to earth causing rivers, streams, and Ozark "cricks" to overflow their normal boundaries. Ocean currents are disturbed...
Wednesday, July 9, 2025
The news is not good. Most of the world is experiencing severe problems, and I am convinced that many of us --- if not all of us --- feel very helpless to do anything about anything. The religious folks say "Pray!" The secular folks say "Plan!" The ignorant folks say "Play!" What should active, real-life...
Come And Get It…
Come And Get It ... there’s food on the table for the soul ... Branson Church of The Harvest has a very special Sunday School class that meets every Sunday morning at 9:30 and concludes at 10:15 (to leave time for a break before the church gathering at 10:30). The teacher is Mr. Larry...
SIMPLY JESUS
A few years ago. a very good friend suggested that the only way to reach an alcoholic with the gospel was to simply tell them about Jesus. Leave out all of the church jargon. He said if I would write a book entitled "Simply Jesus," he would use it as a teaching tool all across...
“Tickled To Death”
(A Brief Essay by Paul C. Collins, M. Div, Th.D.) The title of this essay is reminiscent of days gone bye when the expression was in common usage. When I think about the entertainment and amusement industry in Branson, Missouri, the phrase comes into my mind to describe an inherent spiritual danger. In other words,...
WHAT YOU KNOW AND WHO YOU KNOW
Practical insights into education Paul C. Collins, M.Div., Th.D. Stop! Don’t stop reading! Please! I am about to write something regarding education --- and education is vitally important (life-giving information). Are you ready for the next paragraph? If so, here we go. Your education began before you were conceived. Your parents had certain things encoded...
Items of Concern? (Does Anyone Care?)
Water, food, shelter, air ---- all are important. In fact, you may be able to live without shelter (in some climates) but you cannot live without food and water. As to air, you can live for years with pollution depending on the type and your personal health. Most folks in my circle do...
EXPERIENCE COUNTS
Our super charged world of rapid transportation, nearly instantaneous communication, AI, military expansionism, hunger, homelessness, and an overemphasis on entertainment needs the experience that comes by living long. The time is long since past to rid ourselves of the perennial search for younger leaders. What the world needs now is the proven experiential education of...
NEVER TOO LATE TO SAY “WHATEVER”
Are you thankful that another national election “season” is now in the so-called history books? Well, it isn’t over! The pundits have a way to keep on keeping on with the verbiage about all the ins and outs of the election results. Some of the political talking heads want to explain away the results by...
Ho Hum …
After 20 presidential elections in my lifetime, what can I say about number 21? After “living” under 15 presidents, what should I expect from number 16 (who may be a repeat)? I am looking ahead of November 5, 2024 (and this is being written October 31, 2024, appropriately on All Hallows Eve). So, with the...
