Why I Am Called Pastor Bulldog

STRESS is a major cause of life-threatening illnesses. When one learns they have one, it causes stress - and stress is what caused them to go through the "fight or flee syndrone". I learned from many afflictions; cancer, chemo, radiation, yada, yada, yada, that it was best to fight like a bulldog. There are reasons why God will let us go through trials (1Corinthians 10:13). God has also given ways to escape or overcome them.

God told Joshua that He would go before him in the conquest of Canaan, and that He would deliver the enemy into his hands. Second in command was Caleb, whose name means several things, one of them is "dog". Caleb's secret to success was to believe God and the promises of His word. So it was not a stretch for me to identify Caleb as a real bull dog, whom the Bible says, "wholly followed the Lord". That was enough for me. I focussed my thoughts on being a real Bulldog Survivor, and to minister the concept from the word of God to others, ergo; Pastor Bulldog.

I have written many things about this Bible concept, which I give in weekly lessons from the Bible called "Blessays", and entitled "Off My Chest-From My Heart". My lessons are from my own devotions and I point out the thngs in today's world that cause stress, and how to find Bible remedies. I invite you to subscribe to these FREE Blessays by clicking on
