Your Divine D.E.S.I.G.N.

One of life’s recurring questions is “What should I be doing with my life?”. Perhaps a better question is “How has God designed me?”. What if we looked at our makeup from six vantage points? That is, what if we could discern in a practical way how God made us? Let’s take a closer look […]

Have You Scheduled Some Play Time?

We have just begun a new year.  Many have set some ambitious goals.  Turned over a new leaf.  Added this and subtracted that.  But as we go through the various lists, something appears to be missing.  Play Time. We have even taken it out of our educational system.  Recess seems to be a thing of […]

God Has It All Under Control…Or Does He?

Imagine being woken up during the middle of the night and being hauled off by a foreign army to a foreign country. How would you feel? What would be going through your mind? Especially if you are a believer. I mean, wouldn’t you begin to question God? Where is He? How could He allow this […]

Saying “No” is Crucial

As life moves forward at the speed of light I have found that the natural tendency is to say yes and add, add, and add some more. When football season arrives that has to get added in.  That’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday night, and Thursday night.  Then there is more reading and more meetings and more […]

Encouragement: Antidote to a Quitter Culture

One of the inevitabilities of life and the ministry is that people will abandon you.  Not everyone will go the distance with you. The fact is, we live in a quitter culture.  People walk away from their jobs, their spouses, their new year’s resolutions, and their churches. Near the end of the apostle Paul’s ministry […]
