In “Now Is The Right Time” S5 E4 of I Took a Right Turn: The Podcast opens with Talk about how timing is so important.  Then comes a few well-known songs: I Surrender All, Through it All, and We Shall See the King.  We follow these with one of our homegrown songs: Servants of Peace.  Next, we open the Bible to II Corinthians 6:1-10 and where we find that God is calling us to stay on the job serving Him by serving others.  Robert reads the poem “Nothing to Something” from his Second book of Poetry, Floating Through Time.  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

When we say, “This is the when, where, and how of my plan,” without adding, “If God wills,” we forget that we are but dust in the wind.

Let God change the water of our lives into the fine wine of His presence.  The people around us may never know what happened but we will.

Ministries that peddle Jesus junk as lures for donations turn God’s temple into a flea market of barter.

Dr. Owens’ Latest Book May 15, 2025

God Is

Announcing Dr. Robert Owens’ fortieth book:

his fourth book of poetry.

What is poetry?

Is it merely alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm,

sound, stanzas, tone, and meter?

Or is it something shimmering between reality and realization?  Is it the charismatic sister of prose encapsulating enchantment bringing substance to that which is known intuitively?

Touching on politics, philosophy, religion, sociology, economics, and whimsey, the offerings in this my fourth book of poetry are meant to entertain, enlighten, and amuse.

Why Read the Bible May 14, 2025

Reading the Bible

is not a contentless existential experience,

calling us to an anti-intellectual

leap-of-faith.

It’s a logical presentation,

revealing the reality of creation.

The reality exposed in the Bible,

creation by a personal God,

the fall of man,

salvation through divine intervention,

and new birth through faith

is the only thing,

that answers the questions of life,

and explains the observable evidence.

We may hide our sins from others, we may hide them from ourselves, but we can’t hide them from God.
