God was looking. He was looking for a man. He was looking for a man through whom (and by whom) He would save the world (people). (John 3:16) He looked man to man to man at the greatest men who ever lived. He looked at Pharoah. He looked at Julius Caesar. He looked at Mohammed. […]
Dads and Spiritual Leadings
April 25, 2012 by
Our Pastor and his wife are going on a trip to Russia. They will be encouraging and teaching Pastors and their wives in local churches there. I felt prompted of the Lord to give financially, but He added a twist to it. He wanted me to involve my kids, but a little bit differently than […]
Even If My Heart is Breaking to Let Her Go…
April 21, 2012 by
It is amazing to see the Lord moving upon your adult children the same way He moved upon you when you first got saved (speaking to, guiding, upholding, calling out of the boat to walk on water, etc). We are transitioning as a family. My oldest daughter (21) will be transferring in the Fall (by […]

“For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again.” (Proverbs 24:16a) My son, Michael, was 4 years old when he received his first bike. (That was a long time ago.)

Contemptible Christianity
January 20, 2012 by
It’s one thing for an unbeliever to hold someone in contempt even when it’s a Christian. It’s a completely different thing when a believer, a follower of Jesus does it (holds a fellow believer in contempt). It happens all the time. You see, certain “followers of Christ” view other Christians and they (the “followers of […]

Electrifying 3:16 (Football, a Bible Verse and a Quarterback Named Tim)
January 12, 2012 by
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) On the first play from scrimmage in overtime Denver Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 80-yard touchdown pass to win in the first round […]
Don’t You Dare
January 9, 2012 by
The phone rang. On the other end was a daughter’s desperate plea. “Dad is dying. And he’s backslidden.” His parents had been pastors. And they were gone. (“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”) They had been praying for their son a long, long time. And can you just […]
