A Novel by Alfred B. Davis
Called back from Tunoa early by his pastor, Missionary Paul Brown is plunged headlong into an ancient evil that threatens to destroy him and the Wildwood Baptist Church. Armed with his faith in his Savior, Jesus Christ, and with the help of his family and fellow church members Paul Brown races to uncover the mystery before it is too late.
From the sudden death of Pastor Williams to the final
confrontation with evil itself, this fast-paced thriller will keep you on the
edge of your seat.
Glenna Davis, Pastor Al's Mother, goes to be with the Lord.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of long-time Richfield resident Glenna Davis. Glenna was born October 13, 1929, in Copley, Ohio. She passed away at home in Richfield on May 11, 2008, at age 78, with her family present.
Glenna is survived by her husband, Roy, children Robert (Ruth) of Akron, Thomas (Connie) of Richfield, Alfred (Kimberly) of Richfield, Karl (Laura) of Cleveland, and Becky (John) of North Royalton, and grandchildren Robert, Anna, Lillie, Alexander, Jakob, and Tylor.
Glenna and Roy eloped and were married in Indiana, February 9, 1957. They moved to Southern Road where Roy built a house on land that had belonged to his grandfather. Glenna soon became an active member of the community but never sought the limelight. She was an active member of Hinckley Ridge Baptist Church for many years, teaching Sunday School and helping with Vacation Bible School. She later became an active member of the Richfield Bible Baptist Church after her son, Alfred, became the pastor there. She was also a member of many community organizations, including Dorcas Ladies Aid, Haven of Rest Women's Auxiliary, Richfield Historical Society, Richfield Senior Center, the Country Western Music Association of Akron, and the Sunshine Club at the Music Barn in Sharon. Glenna also served many years as a 4-H club advisor, retired after 19 years cooking for the Revere School system, and delivered Meals on Wheels.
Glenna will be remembered by family and friends as a good cook and talented seamstress, always willing to pitch in and lend a helping hand whenever and wherever needed.
Pastor Al said, "My mom had the best Mother's Day gift possible. She got to see her mother, she was healed completely, and, best of all, got to see her Saviour."
Personal Note from Pastor Al:
I want to thank all my listeners for your prayers and support. Kim, my wife, is a hospice nurse and had been with her most of Saturday, had stayed with her Saturday night, and spent most of Sunday watching over her and caring for her. I left my parent's house last Sunday night to do the radio program expecting that my mom would be with us for at least several more hours. I was almost to my exit when Kim called to let me know that my mom had gone to be with the Lord. It was a difficult decision to go ahead and do the program but we knew that that is what my mom would have wanted. After the program I hurried back to my parent's house and was there when the funeral home arrive to take her body. Kim and I stayed with my siblings and my dad talking until nearly 3:00 AM. God has really blessed over the past week with and I am so thankful that my mom knew the Lord and am confident that one day soon I will see her again in heaven.

Is It Wrong to Worship on Sundays? Posted: April 7, 2010
After Jesus Christ died on the cross Joseph of Arimathaea, along with Nicodemus, took the body of Jesus, wrapped it in a linen cloth with spices, and laid it in Joseph's tomb. Three days and three nights later, according to the Scriptures, the resurrection occurred. Jesus rose from the grave, victorious over death and sin...
Now, considering that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to Christianity, it seems reasonable that the early Christians would put some importance on the first day of the week, even meeting that day to worship. But did they?...
So just what does the Bible say about this subject? Is there any evidence in the Bible of Christians meeting and worshiping on the first day of the week?...
1 Kings 21 (New American Patriot Version) Posted: March 24, 2010
1. And it came to pass after these things, that the American people had a system of healthcare, which was in jeopardy, hard by the palace of Obama the would-be-king of America.
2. And Obama spake unto the American people, saying, Give me your healthcare, that I may have it for a garden of socialism, because it is near unto my house: and I will give ye for it a better healthcare system than it; or, if it seem good to ye, I will give ye the worth of it in money.
3. And the American people said to Obama, The Constitution forbid it us, that we should give the inheritance of our fathers unto thee.
4. And Obama came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which the American people had spoken to him: for they had said, We will not give thee the inheritance of our fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5. But Pelosi his comrade came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?...
It's All a Conspirancy! Posted: January 4, 2010
I was standing with a group of people at a health care reform conference when an intense, skinny guy with a sparse beard, sharp features, and piercing eyes came over to me. I saw him trying to engage others earlier and would have avoided him except that I was waiting to speak to one of the conference organizers.
He fixed me with an intense stare and started to lecture me on the dangers of a government takeover of health care. From there he branched off to a variety of conspiratorial rants, ending with why he KNEW that the United States government blew up the World Trade Center towers and sent a missile into the Pentagon on 9-11. Then, looking at my Air Force hat, he said emphatically, "And we NEVER landed on the moon."...

New Chapter Begins Posted: June 13, 2009
Lives, like the biographies and memoirs that recount them, are often composed of a number of chapters. Last January the Bible Baptist Church began the process of closing one chapter of its life and opening another. We were about to lose the building that had been home to our church for the last 16 years.
The opening chapter of the Bible Baptist Church [in Richfield, Ohio] began in September 1982...

Change We Can Believe In Posted: January 21, 2009
More and more scientists are claiming that global warming appears to be giving way to global cooling. It's probably only a matter of time before they begin predicting the arrival of a new ice age, like they did back in the 1970's. Of course, when the earth enters another warming cycle they'll stick global cooling back in the freezer and pull global warming off the back burner. At least until the next cooling cycle occurs. Maybe that's why they are starting to use the term "climate change" more and more.
Of course, there is a danger that the public might get wise to the climatological doomsayers...

Who are You Fooling?! Posted: November 24, 2008
Are you familiar with Captain Penny’s Law?It goes something like this: “You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time; but you can’t fool mom.”
Captain Penny did not originate that thought but he did much to popularize it on the Captain Penny show in the 1960’s. And, though it may have been what mothers wanted their children to believe, it isn't completely correct. Captain Penny may have had good intentions but he was wrong on the last part. It might be difficult to fool mom but the only one you cannot fool is God...

Pushing Agendas or Defending Truth? Posted: October 26, 2008

Why indeed? Could it be that the caller's church has an agenda that is more important to it than Biblical morality?...

The Weapons of Our Warfare Posted: July 4, 2008
Abdel nervously glanced down at his watch. Again. It hadn't changed much since he had looked at it a few moments ago. Less than three minutes to go now. Unconsciously, he rubbed his free hand across his stomach, feeling the lumpy hardness of the vest beneath his coat.
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment of his family. They would be well take care of, he reminded himself, and well honored. His lips moving slightly, silently, as he quoted several verses from the Qur'an to steady his resolve...

The Tale of a Reformed Calvinist Posted: April 15, 2008
I was sitting at the counter enjoying a donut and a cup of coffee, conversing with the owner and another customer, when a bearded gentleman walked in. Since we were talking about the Bible he decided to join us. Eventually, the conversation turned to the character and nature of God.
Seeking to make a point, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a pen and held it up. “See this pen,” the man intoned before dropping it to the counter. “God determined before the foundation of the world that I would walk in here on this day at this time and drop this pen on the counter.”

If I Were a Muslim, I'd Join Al Qaeda Posted: February 11, 2008
The Muslim caller to my radio program was upset. He was unhappy because I had implied that members of Al-Qaeda, and similar fundamentalist Muslim groups, were acting in accord with Islamic law and tradition. "No," he assured me, "That is not true. They are not true Muslims. True Muslims do not engage in violence. Islam is a religion of peace and the Prophet Muhammad was a man of peace."
Now that got me to thinking. On the one hand there are Muslims, such as my caller, who claim that Islam can coexist with peacefully with Christianity, Judaism, and the other religions of the world. On the other hand, there are other Muslims, such as the members of Al-Qaeda, who insist that Islam cannot coexist peacefully with any other religion. Yet, both sides claim to believe the same Qur'an and follow the same prophet. Obviously, then, their understanding and application of Islam must be radically different. So, how are we supposed to know which group's right?

Where Am I Going? Posted: February 5, 2008
Imagine that you are standing in a vast parking lot. An attendant approaches and gives you a set of car keys. Looking down at them you see a tag bearing a number corresponding to one of the many cars in the lot.
"Be sure to follow your map," the attendant says as you turn away in search of your car.
As you make your way through the lot you see every kind of car or truck imaginable. There are sports cars and luxury cars, old clunkers and restored classics. You pass by row after row of minivans, SUV's, pickup trucks, compacts, sedans, until finally, in a back corner of the lot, you find the car bearing the number on your keys.

All the World's a Stage Posted: December 8, 2007 Back in high school some friends and I kept up a running joke based on a line in Shakespeare's play, As You Like It. "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages." We joked that all you needed to do to have a successful life was to find and edit the script.
Actually, there is some truth to the idea that "all the world is a stage." According to the Bible the universe is a vast stage where a great drama is playing out, with planet Earth at center stage. It is a vast panorama of triumph and tragedy stretching from the very beginning of time, of rising hopes and crushing despairs, and of the desperate struggles between good and evil over the souls of all who have ever lived or will live.

Grasping the Trinity Posted: October 22, 2007 Probably one of the more difficult theological concepts to grasp is the Trinity. The concept of the Trinity, the idea that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one God has divided denominations, confused Christians, and given rise to critics. Other religions call it polytheism. Unfortunately, many pastors themselves do not understand it either.... Click here to read the full article!
Did Jesus Go To Hell? Posted: July 30, 2007 The crowds gathered at the foot of the cross hurled insults and abuse at the dying man hanging above them. Even the two convicts crucified on either side of him mocked him. However, one of the condemned men had a change of heart. He watched the man on the middle cross patiently endure the abuse heaped upon him and realized that there was something different about him. He realized that the man in the middle, Jesus, was the Christ, the Messiah...
A few hours later all three were dead. The bodies were removed. The bodies of the two thieves, unless claimed by family or friends, were likely cast into the Valley of Hinnom, a repository of trash, refuse, and filth running along the south side of Jerusalem. Jesus' body, however, was placed in a borrowed tomb...
That much of the story you know. But what do you know about what happened to Jesus between the crucifixion and the resurrection?... Click here to read the full article!
A Reasonable Basis of Faith Posted: July 21, 2007 Back in the 1980's, while stationed in England with the United States Air Force, I encountered two individuals who had an interest in knowing the future. One was a man who was excited about discovering a book containing the prophesies of Nostradamus. The other was a young woman who was seeing a fortune teller in London. Both were bright, educated USAF members serving in sensitive positions...
I told the man that I knew a book that was much older and far more accurate than Nostradamus. In fact, I said, every single prophecy that it made has come true, with the exception of those that are yet future. He was excited until he found out that I was talking about the Bible.
The woman, however, was much more receptive when I told her about the Bible's prophetic accuracy. In fact, she eventually stopped seeing the psychic and ended up trusting Jesus Christ as her Savior... Click here to read the full article!
True Revival Posted: June 12, 2007 A good friend of mine once asked me how you can schedule a revival. He had a point. After all, should we expect God to meet us at OUR appointed time and place?

Wars and Rumors of Wars Posted: April 20, 2007 Wars and rumors of wars. You cannot turn on the radio, watch the television, or pick up a paper without hearing about wars and rumors of wars. Matthew could have been writing about our day when he wrote in Matthew 24:6, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars..."
Each day tension in the world ratchets up another notch. North Korea threatens to turn America into "a sea of fire." War in Iraq seems endless. Iran publicly warns that, sandwiched between Iraq and Afganistan, it might be next on America's hit parade. The possibility of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan has not completely disappeared. Islamic terrorists still threaten "spectacular attacks" in America and Europe. Communist China rattles its swords and threatens to invade and forcibly reincorporate Taiwan. Civil wars, unrest, and insurrections sweep across parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America...

Why the Hate? Posted: March 14, 2007 I had just gotten home from dropping my daughter, Anna, off at school when the phone rang. It was my wife, Kim, calling from the nursing home where she works as an R.N. "Turn on the TV," she said. I asked her what channel. When she replied, "It doesn't matter." I knew something bad had happened. Little did I realize at the time how bad.
The second tower had just been hit when Kim called and I saw the beginning of what seemed like endless replays of the impact when I turned on the television. We talked briefly and then Kim had to return to her busy morning routine. Our nation might have been under attack but her patients still needed attention... Click here to read the full article!
For Such a Time as This? Posted: February 20, 2007 The Bible tells us in Nahum 1:2, "God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies." In addition, Romans 12:19 says, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
Now, let me ask you, how does God carry out His vengeance against His enemies? He could, and has, sent avenging angels from time to time. In 2 Kings 19:35 we read "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." However, I believe God chooses more often to use human instruments and agencies instead... Click here to read the full article!
How's Your Vision? Posted: February 5, 2007 How's your vision? I don't mean your physical vision or whether or not you need glasses, I'm talking about your spiritual vision.
Some people have no spiritual vision at all. They are, in effect, spiritually blind. And no wonder, after all, for the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:4 that Satan, the god of this world, has blinded those who have not trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior, "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." ...

Hello, My Name Is Bob... Posted: December 30, 2006 "Hello, My Name Is Bob..." You hear it every night in Alcoholics Anonymous and related 12-step meetings across the country and around the world.

Unfortunately that very line raises some obstacles to full recovery. Surely there must be a better path to victory than constantly reaffirming bondage to your problem for the rest of your life...

The Mystery of Godliness Posted: November 20, 2006 Have you ever read or watched a really good mystery? I mean the kind that keeps you turning page after page or watching minute by minute until you finally find out "whodunnit."
Some mysteries, like Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie's stories, tease you with tantalizing clues and red herrings that keep you guessing until the very end. Others, like television's Columbo series, let you know "whodunnit" in the very beginning but the mystery involves how the hero can prove it.
Still other mysteries do not involve a crime necessarily. They may be based on a mysterious legend or an odd happening that leads to an exciting adventure, or perhaps a chance encounter or revelation of hidden knowledge that profoundly alters the life of those involved.
In the Bible we are presented with several "mysteries"...These Bible mysteries largely have to do with the revelation of previously unknown or hidden spiritual truths that have profound implications for mankind...

What Does Tuesday, September 11, 2001, Mean? Posted: September 11, 2006 On September 11, 2001, the world as we know it changed.

Horrified, we watched in our living rooms and offices, in our shops and schools as smoke and flames billowed out of the twin towers and the Pentagon. We continued to look on in unbelief as the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed into the heart of the city as thousands fled in panic. While our government and military went into war status, taking unprecedented emergency precautions and actions, we looked into the very face of evil itself....

The Fundamental Difference Posted: September 20, 2005 What do Bible-believing Christians, pre-Vatican II Catholics, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and Wahhabi Muslims have in common? Answer: they are all fundamentalists!
But, just what is a fundamentalist? To answer that, let's take a look at how the term "fundamentalist" appeared in modern Christianity.
Without understanding what "fundamentalist" really means, or the difference between the fundamentalists and liberals in Christianity and Islam, it is impossible to fully grasp what is going on in the current war on terror. Why? Because fundamentalist Islam has declared war and liberal Christianity can't - and liberal Islam won't - see it....

[Posted: 28 Jun 10]
"Critics outraged, call remake of '80s classic 'porn for survivalist militia types'
..." Make that, "Useful idiots outraged." The first Red Dawn followed actual Soviet battle plans. So much so that Soviet KGB sponsored peace activists torched cinemas (movie theaters) across Europe to keep people from seeing it. This time, however, it's the communist Chinese. Wonder if their useful idiots will do the same.

Small Business Impact of the EPA Endangerment Finding

Higher prices and less food means less snacking and smaller portion sizes, not to mention a few missed meals for the kiddies. Viola, skinnier kids!
Why There Should Be No Mosques at Ground Zero
[Posted: 10 Jun 10]
"The placement of mosques throughout Islamic history has been an expression of conquest and superiority over non-Muslims
..." I recently heard that they want to name the new Mosque "Cordoba", which, by the most amazing coincidence I'm sure, just happens to be the name of the capital of the Muslim Emirate of al-Andalus (which became the Caliphate of al-Andalus) during the Eighth through Eleventh Centuries. And what is the Muslim Emirate/Caliphate of al-Andalus? Why none other than the Muslim controlled Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). The Muslims defeated the Christians, captured Cordoba in 711 AD, and soon wrested control of the Iberian Peninsula from the Christians, bringing it under the sway of Islam. Like I said, I'm sure it's just a coincidence. (Not!)

'Artificial life' breakthrough announced by scientists
[Posted: 10 Jun 10]
"Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first living cell to be controlled entirely by synthetic DNA
..." Artificial life? Not hardly! It's as if I opened up my computer, analyzed all the parts, went to the computer store and bought similar parts, assembled them in the same fashion as the parts in my computer, with slight modifications such as a bigger hard drive or more RAM, plugged it in, and then announced that I had created an artificial computer. Furthermore, such a project would allow me to claim that my new computer proves that the first computer could come together purely by shaking a bunch of electronics parts together in a box.

..." This girl representes the views of the Muslim Student Association, which has numerous ties to radical Islamic groups (the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood founded the MSA, as well as Hamas and al-Qaida).
