Let’s face it. We all get busy. Too busy. It’s been a while since I wrote my last post. Life has been a little hectic as Carol and I are building our fourth house. And I have finally moved my study into the basement even though it is unfinished. The house is nowhere near complete. […]

There are two things about human nature that are universal. We want any pain to cease immediately. And if we do something right, we want to be rewarded immediately After all, that’s how we train our animals. Do this and there is immediate gratification. In our dogs’ case, that equals food, pleasure. When it comes […]

Habits of Strength, Habits of Betrayal

Mike Henderson — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:36:38 +0000

If it’s true that it takes 21 days to create a new habit, then we are getting close to a critical point…that is if a new habit was formed on January 1. Even if the new habit was formed earlier there will still be a critical point in the life of the habit. That was […]

Beware of Rabbit-Foot Theology!

Mike Henderson — Tue, 06 May 2014 01:12:22 +0000

We have all done it. Somewhere in the back of our minds we start thinking that if we do such and such God is then obligated to answer our prayer or come through for us. In short, if we do our part, then God cannot let us down. Otherwise He will not look so good. […]

Doesn’t God Care?

Mike Henderson — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:09:00 +0000

When I was about three or four years old my mother took all four (four at the time) of the kids with her to the store. The only problem was that when she left, she left me standing on the sidewalk. Now that was in the day when you could leave your child alone and […]

Abundance or Scarcity?

Mike Henderson — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 00:44:04 +0000

We all carry the burden of not measuring up. That sense of not being good enough pops up at a very early age and follows us all through life. A little girl starts out having princess birthday parties. She dresses up. She starts looking around and asking Am I pretty enough? Then she becomes a […]

Prayer is H.U.G.E.

Mike Henderson — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:27:32 +0000

Let’s be honest right from the start. Prayer meetings tend to have the lowest attendance of any kind of meeting. There is something about prayer that is mystical. Plus in a crowd many get uncomfortable to say the least. However, what about in the privacy of your home. Let me share four quick thoughts about […]
