Engaging The World
Eighteen-point type is large enough for almost everyone to see clearly. Life is not that simple. Sorry, it’s true! Life is complicated and, sometimes, like a minefield to be navigated to avoid dangerous consequences. The foregoing paragraph was the setup for this meandering in my search for a way to help us engage...Continue reading→
90 Years, 124 days (almost)
A progress report? By Paul C. Collins It is 4:07 P.M. October 2, 2025 as I sit in my writing room at my computer desk. I am just beginning the process of typing something to resemble a short memoir, or a secular look at today’s world, or a prophetic view of events and circumstances. Who knows what will show...Continue reading→
POWERFUL, PERSUASIVE, PROTECTIVE
As a young pastor in a small, county seat town, I quickly "Made friends of Mammon" even before I knew the ramifications. I identified the power connected with being the banker, the local doctor, undertaker, sheriff, and the barber. The banker became my friend because he loaned me money to buy a car. I made the doctor my friend because...Continue reading→

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 America in AA groups. I...Continue reading→
“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.
