Many moons ago (in a faraway land~not), my adventure with Twitter began. Honestly, I had no idea what a wonderful experience lie ahead. Tens of thousands of tweets and replies later, I guess the best way to sum it up is I am a better Christian man. (I love Jesus even more.) I have met […]
So You Want To Start a Bible Study, Do You?
September 22, 2010 by
So you want to start a Bible study? (Maybe?) And let’s just say ~ with a focus on men in particular. (Sorry ladies. Check out @LifeVerse for that.) Men are a tough nut to crack (and they’re “nutty,” too!). They are suspicious. (I am.) They don’t like being manipulated. (It happens.) They can sniff out […]
Help For When Your Ship’s (Life’s) Falling Apart
September 15, 2010 by
“[T]hey used supporting cables in undergirding the ship.” (Acts 27:17a) It happens to all of us. We experience situations in life that try our souls/squeeze us to the very depth of our beings. It could be a job loss or cancer or the sudden death of a loved one or friend – you name it […]
On Burning, the Koran and Pastors Who Lose Their Way
September 9, 2010 by
“And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver (1 million dollars).” (Acts 19:19) Islam is a false religion. It leads people away from faith in the living […]
Clean
September 7, 2010 by
I was applying for a job that required a print out of my driving record. That’s when I got nervous. You see, I hadn’t been enjoying the best of driving careers (to put it mildly). Yes, I’d been pulled over for speeding. Yes, I’d gotten in a few accidents (well, maybe more than a few). […]
Paid in Full
August 31, 2010 by
“It is finished!” (John 19:30) It was with those three words that Jesus Christ declared mankind’s redemption accomplished. There’s nothing more that can be added. There’s nothing more that need be done. Our sins are forgiven (if we believe). Our eternal destiny is secure (we are headed to heaven when this life is through). And […]
Chewed Up and Spit Out (A Rant)
August 30, 2010 by
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Of course, what do I know? My sphere of influence and group of contacts is very small. I know that. And I also know it’s so easy to make overall generalizations that may or may not true. Nevertheless, I think there’s something here. The disturbing trend I’m referring to is […]
Just One Sin
August 24, 2010 by
It won’t matter. It won’t hurt. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a drop in the bucket. Sure it is. No one’s gonna know. How could they? Who’s gonna tell them? If I look at that magazine. If I watch that show. If I buy that item. If I see that […]
Great is Thy Faithfulness
August 20, 2010 by
The brakes were gone. How could this be? She’d just finished a 1,500-foot mountain grade descent. The “she” was my 19-year old daughter. And I am writing this today to glorify God and recognize His great faithfulness to us and in our lives. It was a little after five o’clock (approximately the time of the […]
Last Man Standing (A Declaration)
August 18, 2010 by
I’m gonna be there. I’m not gonna miss it. I’m talking about meeting Jesus and hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Close your eyes and picture it in your mind.) I will do whatever it takes. I will be filled with the Holy Spirit and continue to be filled. (Ephesians 5:18) I will lay […]
