Ready for Real Freedom? Find Out How God’s Word Can Transform Your Life!


 True Freedom 

Jesus said in John 8:32 NLT — And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. This is an incredible promise, especially if you need healing —whether the difficulty is an injury, illness, a financial hardship, a troubled relationship, or anything else.

Belief vs truth:

Harper’s Bible Dictionary includes the statement when defining truth, “God is truth.” So many believe things that are not true. Truth is something that has to be known, not just believed. I can believe a lot of things that are not true. When I was a kid, it was believed that if you ate something, you had to wait around 15 to 30 minutes before getting back into the water because if you got in sooner, you could cramp up and drown. But now we know that is not true. It was believed, but not true.

His word is truth:

So, knowing the truth is, to some degree, knowing God! We need to pray and read the Word daily so we can know the truth. True things can be proved. So we know that God is a healer. He heals, so we claim that promise. The way the truth sets us free from the bondage of sin is by our getting to know God better. How do we do that? By learning His word. That’s how we will know the truth.

So, let’s get into God’s word more, so we can really know the Truth.


Never apologize for the Word of God. 📖 Refuse to apologize for what God said! God is still on His throne. We must learn to live out our faith in these challenging times, facing peer pressure, ridicule, and moral dilemmas with confidence, knowing Jesus is with us. To stand firm, we must be deeply rooted in God’s Word. Living out our faith isn't always easy, but it is possible with God’s help!

Just a thought,

The Abandoned Roads of England Airpark in Alexandria, Louisiana

 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey As many of you already know, I have begun to take my physical health seriously. Earlier this year, a routine trip to the doctor served as a wake-up call when my test results showed that my health was in dire shape. Lifestyle changes had to be made, or I was going to end up in a very bad way. I started watching what I ate, began exercising, and started taking a handful of medications every morning. It seems that when you start getting older, a sedentary lifestyle isn't good for you.  Who knew?

Classic UFO Casebook: What Made These UFO Reports Too Strange to Ignore

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey June 24, 1947, Mount Rainier, Washington The fascinating era of UFO sightings kicked off when pilot Kenneth Arnold made a remarkable discovery over Mount Rainier in Washington State. While he was on a mission to locate a downed U.S. Marine Corps C-46 transport airplane, Arnold's attention was suddenly captured by a cluster of unusual aircraft darting through the sky. In an official report that quickly garnered worldwide attention, he described these strange flying objects as being “saucer shaped.” This catchy description resulted in the now-iconic term “flying saucer” entering the lexicon of popular culture, forever changing the way we think about unidentified flying objects. Adding to the intrigue of Arnold's sighting was his background—he was not just any pilot; he was an experienced aviator and a decorated combat pilot from World War II. His credentials lent significant credibility to his claims, suggesting that he was well-acquainted with various type...

Rediscovering Smith's Landing: The Story of Louisiana's First Train Station and Its Legacy

Image
Today, I want to share the story of the first railroad built in central Louisiana. Known as the Red River Railroad , or sometimes the Ralph Smith Smith Railroad , this was the very first railroad constructed west of the Mississippi River. It was a simple and roughly built line that transported cotton and other goods that were brought in by barges on Bayou Boeuf .   The place where this railroad began is called Smith’s Landing , and the remaining building in the town of Lecompte is recognized as the first train station built west of the Mississippi. The tracks ran from Lecompte to the banks of the Red River in Alexandria , but much of this route has been lost to time. During the Civil War , Union soldiers tore up the tracks to create a levee, and because of that, we don’t know exactly where the railroad used to go. Interestingly, when crews were constructing the old Jefferson Highway that runs between Lecompte and Alexandria, they found some remnants of the Red River Railroad, whi...
