I happen to be one of those people that enjoy riding rolling coasters. I know that this is not everyone’s thing. The roller coaster does illustrate one essential truth for the believer in living in a broken world. Think about the fact that God is not asking you to make yourself Godly. He is… Continue Reading

Why Does God Have Me Here?
I have noticed a trend that could be alarming. The level of our concern would be based on the individual’s motive. What I have seen is a number of professing followers of Jesus fleeing certain geographic regions because of negative cultural changes. My concern is that people are fleeing to something that they think… Continue Reading
God’s Process for My Spiritual Development
Most followers of Jesus want to be “spiritually mature.” The question is, “How does God intend to help me become more spiritual?” What is the process that the Lord uses to help me to become more like Jesus? I remember our kids huddling around the kitchen waiting for the fresh baked bread to… Continue Reading
Why I MUST Live and Share Jesus!
I am sure that many of you have seen videos of someone being harassed with the people passing by ignoring and avoiding the situation. I am thinking of a video that was staged with a young girl screaming, “You are not my dad!” at a man trying to force her towards a car. What… Continue Reading

Is It A Hill Worth Dying On?
I think that it is safe to assume that most of us are familiar with the saying, “A hill worth dying on!” I am sure that the original figure of speech came from an application in physical battle. Today we use it in a more figurative sense to speak of the issues we are… Continue Reading

Stay Alert
This week I merged onto a highway and noticed a motorhome was behind me. For a brief moment something seemed out of place. The front tire from the distance and through my rear and side mirrors appeared to be wobbling badly. It looked like a new motorhome. Slowing down I noticed something that could… Continue Reading
Just Do God’s Word!
A popular athletic show popularized the phrase “Just Do It!” It is a phrase that really speaks into all our lives. If you are like me, it is often easier to put something off by doing something else. We usually compromise what is more important or necessary for something that we find more enjoyable.… Continue Reading
