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 […]

So You Want To Start a Bible Study, Do You?
September 27, 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 […]
