Be careful. That thing you’re being critical of just might be a “God” thing. And when you really think about it, the Christmas story really is a “family affair.” (No pun intended.) I’ll talk about the “affair” part in just a moment. But the Incarnation and the advent of Christ is all about a “family,” […]
On the Devil, Photoshopping, False Prophets, Teachers and Shepherds
October 13, 2012 by
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) The devil is […]
How I Hear From God
October 10, 2012 by
I don’t share this like I’m anything great because I’m not. (I’m a sinner saved by grace like anyone else who has Jesus in their heart.) I share this for instruction purposes.

Humbled
September 23, 2012 by
I was humbled. Not once. Not twice. But three times. How much “humiliation” can a person take? (Philippians 2:5-11) It’s a good thing to be “humbled.” It breaks the back of pride. The first way I was humbled is I had to confess my sin to another person in public. I had a bad attitude […]

Saying Goodbye and 6 Lessons for When You’re “Leaving”
August 19, 2012 by
“And after He (Jesus) had said these things, He was lifted up (ascended into the sky) while they (the disciples) were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.” (Acts 1:9) I’m saying “goodbye” to my oldest daughter who is going away to college. And so I’ve got “leaving” on my heart […]
