Mike Henderson — Sun, 30 Jan 2022 15:19:47 +0000

Life is full of challenges but one of the most difficult times we face is when the bottom falls out and you wonder how you’re going to keep going. It’s easy for people to think, “I just can’t go on.” But you can. After all, everyone has trials. Even the big names of the faith […]

When Dreams Die

Mike Henderson — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 10:20:42 +0000

In the NFL about this time of year, dreams die. That is, another team loses and is knocked out of the playoff race. Their dream of making it into the playoffs and hopefully getting to the Super Bowl can vanish in a weekend. However, does that mean that the dream really died? Not at all. […]

H.O.P.E. Can be a Reality

Mike Henderson — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 02:43:59 +0000

Let’s wrap up our short discussion on H.O.P.E. To recap, stories are one of the most valuable ways to regain hope. That’s why we listen to them, read them, and why God put them in the Bible. It’s History now, but stories still inspire. In my last post I introduced you to Hannah and her […]

When You Need Hope You Need…

Mike Henderson — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 11:36:23 +0000

In my last post I talked about needing hope. Fortunately hope is available. In the Bible. So let’s get started, using the acrostic H.O.P.E. History. Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Which means […]

You Need Hope When…

Mike Henderson — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:48:11 +0000

It’s been well said that hope never goes out of style. Who doesn’t need hope? I’ll bet you wonder about that at times. Because all of us sure need it. You even wonder what it would be like to not need hope. While all may need hope, some are in desperate need of it. What’s […]

One Foolish Act

Mike Henderson — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 18:30:01 +0000

As another football season is about to begin, training camps are opening up. However, there is one star Running Back who will not be in camp. In 2014 Ray Rice was caught on video punching his wife–fiancee at the time–in an elevator. As the video went viral, the Baltimore Ravens were essentially forced to cut […]

Six Types of Wisdom to Pray For (3)

Mike Henderson — Fri, 31 Jul 2015 18:41:02 +0000

So far we have only introduced a couple types of wisdom. Clearly you can be wise and unwise at the same time. Which leads us to the final aspects of wisdom. In my last post I talked about planning well and persuasively presenting your plan. But that alone will not guarantee the outcome you want. […]

Six Types of Wisdom to Pray For (2)

Mike Henderson — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 19:29:53 +0000

In my last post I introduced the subject of wisdom. Wisdom is one of those traits that can be used for good or evil. Our goal is to use wisdom to benefit ourselves, others, and even the organization or business we are associated with. We are gleaning our thoughts from 2 Samuel 17 and 18. […]

6 Types of Wisdom to Pray For

Mike Henderson — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 16:03:39 +0000

James 1:5 (NLT) exhorts us, “If any of you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” Most of us probably approach the subject of wisdom from only one angle. We simply want to know what to do next. Let’s call this particular […]

Your Excuses May Be Holding You Back

Mike Henderson — Fri, 15 May 2015 12:38:21 +0000

Excuses. We use them all the time. Sometimes we quite frankly just don’t want to do something. Maybe some are legit, but could we be hurting ourselves, could we be holding ourselves back from reaching our full potential? We have to ask, don’t we? In the church world several scenarios tend to come up regularly. […]
