Trying something new

The Lion's Roar Posted on July 31, 2016 by LarryJuly 31, 2016

I may regret this.  My delivery is terrible.  My sermons have been available as podcasts on our church site for years, but I rarely make a point of it.  With that admission I introduce the soon coming podcast on this … Continue reading →

This Morning’s Prayer

The Lion's Roar Posted on May 4, 2016 by LarryMay 4, 2016

Indiana held its primary yesterday, and voted for Trump.  Cruz dropped out of the race.  I have never been so profoundly affected by the results of a political race.  I know that You are our only savior.  I know that … Continue reading →

To Boycott or Not

The Lion's Roar Posted on May 2, 2016 by LarryMay 2, 2016

I confess. I have not signed my name to the Target boycott pledge sponsored by the American Family Association.  It’s not that I don’t agree with what they are trying to do.  In fact, it appears it may be having … Continue reading →

Mac Attack

The Lion's Roar Posted on April 24, 2016 by LarryApril 24, 2016

That’s where I’m going to place the blame for my long silence, but the truth has more to do with priorities. We do what is important to us, and this has never been more than a vanity for me, though … Continue reading →

Conservative Hypocrisy

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 2, 2016 by LarryFebruary 2, 2016

Remember the 2012 elections? Remember what was said by many about some of the candidates who ran in that election? Herman Cain was driven out with questionable allegations of sexual harassment. Newt Gingrich rightly faced tough questions about his divorce … Continue reading →

Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayer?

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 25, 2016 by LarryJanuary 25, 2016

It’s a question many of us have asked. Maybe it was after we became followers of Jesus. Maybe it was even before that. Some deep desire or some terrible pain drove us to cry out to God. We asked, maybe … Continue reading →

Effective political messaging

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 13, 2016 by LarryJanuary 13, 2016

I don’t like pointing out problems to which I can offer no solution. I just suspect that what we’re doing doesn’t work. I get frequent requests because of my association with the Republican Party to help out with campaigns or … Continue reading →

Government in Our Image?

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 8, 2016 by LarryJanuary 8, 2016

Watching the political maneuvering over the budget, I keep having the same thought.  When so many of us live beyond our means, why wouldn’t government officials think they are free to do the same?  Only as the consequences of our … Continue reading →

Trusting God in Tragedy

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 7, 2016 by LarryJanuary 7, 2016

Trust in God.  It’s easy for me to say, but not so easy to do, or even to hear.  We know that’s what we’re supposed to do, but what happens when that trust seems to have been broken?  God is … Continue reading →

Free Advice About Free Advice

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 6, 2016 by LarryJanuary 5, 2016

You may have heard that free advice is worth what it costs.  It’s often true, but two things make a big difference in it’s value.  The first, obviously, is the quality of the advice.  It is the second that I … Continue reading →
