Perspectives

David C. Howard

The “Perspectives” podcast hosted by David Howard reflects the Gospel designed to address the needs and challenges of a contemporary culturally diverse multi-millennial audience. While our ethnicities and languages differ, those contrasts should not be, nor are they sufficient enough to separate us in our fellowship with one another. David during the course of his ministry has met people from around the world. In the course of establishing those very unique relationships it is understandable how

Searching for What?

Perspectives ·

2023/06/25

The best game ever invented was hide and seek. It has international acclaim as kids (and surprisingly sometimes adults) play it globally strategically and objectively. The object of the game is to hide inconspicuously (sometimes in plain sight) without being caught. “Hiding” is the easy part, seeking, however, is often most challenging. My sister, brother, and I would play in the house for hours on end when our mother and father were away from home (yes, we broke a lot of stuff). We would hide in

How Do You Know?

2023/06/05

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. These are the words articulated in the Declaration of Independence written on July 4, 1776. It is the linchpin of a newly formed democracy 247 years ago. But suppose I told you there is a declaration of a much higher authority, which was pronounced some 6,000 years ago in which the

Facing Goliath

Although I began writing this message about five weeks ago, for some reason the timing was not right, but as a believer of God’s perfect timing, I am certain this particular message is meant to resonate with someone today, at this very moment. If someone is trying to remember my name for the first time, it is not uncommon for them to respond with, oh like David and Goliath, or the popular Claymation show of the 60’s, Davie and Goliath (a young lad and his talking dog) that faced life’s dilemmas

Anchored in the Lord

The oceans are littered with sunken vessels, those capsized, tossed to and forth by the torrent of waves and the ceaseless billow of the winds. Meanwhile, others having faced similar circumstances remained afloat, although battered amid the most perilous seas. They may have been tossed about, overshadowed by darkness, but they were held in place by the weight and strength of their Anchor. Likewise, we as Christians must have an anchor as well, to keep us upright and pitched forward in the storm. Not

A Conversation with Mom, Happy Mother’s Day

Well, I know it has been some time since the original episode of Perspectives (September 15, 2020). In fact, today is episode ninety-nine (99), and how timely it falls Mother's Day, but before I begin, I want to wish you all a very happy and blessed Mother's Day, and all the best a mother can receive in 2023. This Mother’s Day podcast has been reserved and set-aside for quite some time for someone special and very near and dear to my heart. Although my greatest desire was to introduce her

Teach Us How to Pray

2023/05/07

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep …, that familiar prayer from childhood that we have passed from one generation to the next, and the Lord's Prayer we traditionally learn as we grow a bit older and recite word for word. We bless our food by saying, what we refer to as grace, Jesus wept or God is great, God is good let us thank him for our food, Amen, and while they are not without significance, I ask, just as well, are they adequate to sustain us in times of crisis

Lo I Am With You Always!

2023/04/23

Typically, I begin each message with a tidbit of gossip about my life, the peaks and valleys, failures, and successes, however I cannot in and of itself, take any personal credit, for the good as I am a debtor to many. In fact, I owe a wealth of gratitude to a fellow servant in Christ, who patiently through immeasurable kindness invested in my wellbeing and took personal interest in my salvation, named Terrell Williams. He was for me, at the nimble age of twenty-three (23), the expression of the

Proof and Evidence

2023/04/09

I want to begin by wishing each of you listening today Happy Easter. Seeing is believing is a phrase commonly used as an abstract meaning for distrust. For example, when someone repeatedly tells another, I will see you next week, and as the weeks and months pass, they are nowhere to be found. Some are easily swayed, and yet others, having been deceived over and over, lend little credibility to what one may say, and somewhat less to what they do. For many years the scriptures made mention of the

It is incredible how our taste changes over time. Fish sticks, pork & beans and wieners, tuna and string bean casseroles (what is with the onions), fruitcake, brussels sprouts, hog-head cheese, and goober grape, of which I do not like even today. I have had the honor and privilege of watching my grandson and granddaughter grow into the individuals they’ve become. In fact, I can boast, that I alone had the distinct privilege of being the first to babysit each of them when they were born, they

Trust God

Perspectives ·

2023/03/27

How many of us would trust someone with our most prized possession? Who would you trust with your life? Trust is often misunderstood and misrepresented, and its definition can vary depending on who we are speaking to, or who is using it. Trust gives the utmost confidence and allows us to confide unconditionally in someone else. That is supposing we cast aside our inhibitions. I can recall when I was a senior in high school and had a healthy head of hair, three (3) maybe four (4) inches in length. A

Whosoever Will

2023/03/12

As we approach the season of grace, Easter, I believe it necessary to speak of the urgency and necessity of Salvation. However, we do not want to find ourselves in a place absent of God’s presence, or have to speculate about the merits of our own salvation, living in constant fear wondering if we did enough, loved enough, cared enough, gave enough, shared enough, listened enough, yielded enough, or simply served someone other than ourselves.

Referenced scriptures today are: Ephesians 4:31-32; Hebrews 12:14-15; Matthew 6:14-15; and Romans 12:18 I have a storage space that I pay a handsome ransom for each month. It is full of unforgettable things that I either, no longer have use for, I've outgrown, or have not seen for more than eight (8) years. The clothes are exquisite; however, I am several pounds heavier (give or take); the shoes still fit as well, I suppose, but I still remember some squeeze my toe, with every step I take, and I can

Priceless Patience

2023/02/27

There are few things that frustrate us more than having to wait. We willfully accept with gladness, the answer yes, and begrudgingly come to terms with the answer no, but having to wait is problematic for us, as we suffer great anxiety in doing so. Oh, the anticipation of heartbreak or jubilation. Our prayer should constantly be, teach me to wait. Patience is a prized commodity in very short supply, as our responses typically allow us and others to see the fullness of our insecurities, finding

That's Not Fair

For as long as I can remember I have loved playing the game of football. So much so, in fact, I can recall my brother and I playing in slow motion in the living room, he’s at the 50, the 30, the 10, touchdown, or tackling each other just short of a fictitious goal line as we mimicked our favorite teams and players (mom I know you’re listening, I don't think we broke anything). Growing up, just outside of Fort Worth, Texas (Carswell AFB) (no I'm not a cowboy's fan), at the age of seven or eight, we'd

A Love of Consequence

According to Rae Oliver (2023) It is estimated that Americans will spend an estimated $21.8 billion dollars during valentine’s day (58 million pounds of chocolate, and $2.3 billion in floral arrangements). This is the day most associate with our show of perpetual love and affection. If that is so, I would like to begin with a question, what is God’s nature towards us, his creation? Reading and interpreting scripture literally, without suitable context tends to veil our view as we see Him as the

I Thought You Were A Christian?

The authenticity of our faith is forever under the watchful eye of others. There are those that are eager to see what becomes of us, while on the other hand there are those that mockingly anticipate our failure, waiting to openly declare our faith is less than genuine. I often believe there is immense confusion about who we are, and the significance of our place in the world. Considering, as well, that for nearly 2,000 years the world has sought to deny the authenticity of our existence, who we are,

Have you ever been lost? You know you’re somewhere, but you just can’t quite figure out where that somewhere is. You have a map and very detailed directions, but it does not make sense, in fact you’ve tried them a routine number of times only to wind up right back where you started from. How many of you have been there? Of course, being lost in the daytime is completely different than being lost at night, as it (night that is) adds an element of perplexity and fear, because we cannot see what is

I've often heard people say, "expect the worse and you won't be disappointed". Have you ever been absolutely wrong about your perception of someone, only to realize their random act of kindness changed everything; they said thank you; they asked “how’s your day?”; they asked about your family, or sent a heartfelt condolence concerning the tragic loss of a loved one; they remembered your birthday; insisted on paying for a meal; they said “God bless you”; or they unassumingly said, “I love you” or

Hide & Seek

One of the first games we learned as a child is hide and seek. The rules appear simple enough, it is when one person, by signifying, one potato, two potato, three potato, is designated to count (typically to ten [10]), while all the other participants run and hide. Consequently, some are found almost immediately, as they were unable to successfully conceal themselves, and then there are others in which it takes some time to find. By playing with familiar friends long enough it was always easy to

Finding Christ in Our Christmas

Imagine parents struggling and searching for a place to give birth, going from door to door, inn to inn asking, begging, and pleading for a well-mannered place for a child to be born. Consider Mary's pains as her labor intensified each time they were told, there is no room. Contemplate the bustle of people in Bethlehem as they gathered to take part in the census mandated by Caesar Augustus. Yet, no one paused, no concern given, not even for the briefest of moments to inquire about their immediate
