WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS?

I grew up when Diff'rent Strokes was a popular television show. That's no big deal unless your last name is Willis. To this day I still hear those famous words popularized by Arnold: "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?" Usually they are uttered by someone looking at me as though I may have never heard it before. Yeah, right! Well this blog is what I (Willis) am talkin bout...my thoughts, observations & opinions. Enjoy...

That's the book for me...

I love the Bible! It's beyond amazing to know that I have a copy (actually several copies) of God's Word available to read & study whenever I so desire. I preached about the Bible this morning. I don't know if anyone else was challenged by my message but I certainly was! I'm in a sermon series called "You Asked For It" where I attempt to answer questions from people in the church (and several from those who don't attend any church which we solicted via text messages). It's been very challenging & rewarding for me personally. I did a lot of the usual - demonstrate the Scripture's reliability historicially, archaelogically, scientifically, prophetically, etc. But, I also wanted people to really get that God Almighty has made His Word available to everyone of us and that is a blessing of immeasurable significance. Let's stop just believing great truths about the Bible & start consuming & acting upon the great truths in the Bible.

Woe to us if we neglect it having so many copies when people die, literally, in other countries TO read it

well the good thing is they are mennonite and they won't raise their voices,(I kept getting in trouble with this when i coached the team) or cause any commotion because they are peaceful people. Way to stand strong and bring the word.
