- If I Should Die Before I Wake (30:00)
The stories of Isaac, Jacob and Joseph show us what faith looks like at the end of life. We can face our own death with confidence, knowing that the Lord will not abandon us when we need him most. - What Does it Mean to Call God Father? (36:46)
Pastor Ray reflects on his own father and what it means to be the father of three sons. These personal stories help us understand why we need God as our Heavenly Father. - What is Your Isaac? (40:45)
When we finally have the courage to let go, then and only then are we truly free. What is your Isaac? Are you willing to lay it down for Jesus’ sake?

“It Was Providential”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, July 4
Yesterday Peggy Noonan published a column called Making History in which she reflected on the events that led up to the publication of the Declaration of Independence 233 years ago today. As historian David McCullough makes clear in books 1776 and John Adams, it was no sure thing that the colonies would actually vote to form the United States or th... Read more
Dudley and Me
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, July 4
Someone mentioned to me recently that I needed to put more pictures of Dudley on the blog. For those who don’t know, Dudley is one of our two fine basset hounds (Gary being the other). Both dogs will be four years old this fall.We got Dudley on Christmas Eve, 2005, when we were still living in the cabin by the lake. We inherited Gary after Ni... Read more

On Our Way to Gull Lake
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, June 27
This morning Marlene and I are on our way to Michigan for a week at Gull Lake Ministries. As the name implies, the conference lies on the shore of a body of water that National Geographic called one of the premier inland lakes in the nation. Starting in 1897 Christians met on this beautiful spot for summer camp. In 1920 it became an interdenominati... Read more
Jesus Not Welcome in PA House
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, June 26
Several weeks ago I wrote about Jamie Mitchell’s bold prayer at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Today Jamie updated the story on his blog. Not only did some members not like his prayer, they protested so strongly that the Speaker of the Pennsylvania House issued a new policy:1. All prayers must be submitted and approved in advance.… Read more
How to Catch a Stolen Snake
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, June 26
Here’s a story from Perth, Australia sent along by my friend Pat Sullivan. Seems that someone stole a python from a wildlife center in Perth. The thieves no doubt thought they had made a clean job of it, but the snake did not cooperate. The six-foot long python swallowed a woylie, which this article describes as an endangered marsupial. Turns... Read more
No Regrets
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, June 25
A friend asked for my thoughts on living with no regrets. To me it’s all about direction. A few years ago the Lord gave me a set of sayings that I call the First Law of Spiritual Progress:I can’t go back.I can’t stay here.I must go forward.In truth, there is no such thing as a life lived with no regrets in the literal ...

Where a jail or prison is listed, it means that we donated the books to a ministry or to chaplain serving the inmates in that particular facility. Arkansas Department of Corrections, Pine Blu...

Roadmaps for Worship
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, June 23
Last summer I had the pleasure of spending a week with Jim and Mary Kay Altizer at Cannon Beach Conference Center. Besides being an absolutely delightful couple, they are extremely gifted worship leaders. Together they have released a variety of CDs under the title Ivory and Brass. I like their music so much that I put it on my iPod so I can listen... Read more
