“The Golden Rule! That’s what I adhere to; I have no need for a God or a Bible or a religion.” That was the impatient old man’s response when he learned I represented Jesus Christ. Did he really adhere to the Rule? There was no evidence of it in the short time I was with …
Question: Why don’t people believe the gospel message of Jesus Christ? One answer only, today: It’s too simple. Did I get that answer from a book? Not at all. I got it (and get it) as a response to my sharing it with people. A common response: “There has got to be more to it …

I was closing the driveway gate the other day when a man walked along, stopped and introduced himself. Shaking my hand he said, “Hello I’m Jim (not real name).
