In our monthly gathering of men at church we invite various brothers to share their testimony. A “testimony” is simply when you tell others what God’s been doing in your life. It can include (and often does) how you were awakened to Christ and initially began serving Him, but it need not (nor should it) […]
A “God” Thing
November 27, 2009 by
This is the first post in a series over the next four weeks leading up to Christmas entitled: “Lessons from the Holy Family.” The holy family I’m talking about is none other than the holy family of old: the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Christ child.

It’s “gospel.” And what’s crazy about it is it can happen even outside the Vatican with preachers and Christian leaders. People can begin to think that what they say goes and you better […]
Throwing Caution to the Wind
October 25, 2009 by
“He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap.” (Ecclesiastes 11:4) Risk taking.

6 Points of Prayer for Your Pastor
October 21, 2009 by
I saw Jimmy Swaggart on TV the other day. And you may or may not know of his moral failure (sin) a couple of decades ago (except for the grace of God there go I), but it can happen with men in the pulpit. Just like us they can succumb to temptation, too. Oh, I […]
