Dale B

I am a born-again Christian who loves to write and share the Good News about Jesus. Raised on a small Wisconsin farm and saved at age 12, I have been active in Christian service since that time. My many years as a pastor, accountant, and lay worker in the church have equipped me to help those in need. In retirement now in Texas, the Lord has led me to writing as a means of winning people to Christ and helping Christians grow in the Lord. By God’s grace I hope to be a blessing and encouragement to you.

He had experienced a mountaintop victory, calling down fire from heaven to consume a sacrifice, and had defeated the prophets of Baal. Then Jezebel threatened ...

Christian Family: Finding The Right Church

small rural church

The New Testament church did not have a sound system, an auditorium with good acoustics, good seating, a good view of the platform (or maybe not even a platform), available bathrooms, or any of the niceties of 21st-century churches.  It had very little, if any, special music.  There is no ...
