    A big question is “What in the world is God doing?” Making a case for the Church.

    About 20 years ago, I was finishing a graduate degree. An organization in Orlando wanted me to come and work for them. Lots of perks. A new car – a demo – every six months. Some free medical care. Lots of travel. Close to my mom and dad. But I read a verse that said that Jesus loved the ...read more

    What is the truth? Is there a truth? Who knows the truth?

    Biggies. Those are big questions asked to Christian leader Ravi Zacharias at the University of Michigan. “Biggies” has been our series for the last few weeks. Two weeks ago, Designer genes. Did God really create the universe? The case for a Creator. Last week, Rolling stone. Did Jesus ...read more

    It’s when we face our own death – whether it’s emotional, relational, or physical – that’s we want to have some certainty about our hope. There’s Someone who holds out hope for you.

    It didn’t take me long to become an out-law with my in-laws. Maryanne was the youngest of 5 kids – the one who was supposed to marry a rich man and then live right down the street form her mom and dad. The, she married me. We barely survived on a minor league salary and traveled literally from ...read more

    There is a Designer who defeats your darkness and He has a design for your life.

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV) Darkness can make us ...read more

    Overflow Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,719 views

    We can overflow with the life of Jesus to others. Our problem is that we don’t want to pay the price to have an overflow.

    When I was I high school, my mom was ill for an extended time. My brothers were out of the house and my dad and I had to fend for ourselves. Sometimes we’d cook. But that got old. So, we’d go out to eat. One of the places we went was a small little diner run by an African-American couple. ...read more

    Most of us are willing to admit that a makeover would help. But we don’t know how to make the makeover happen.

    This past week, I went online to learn how to apply to be on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! They ask, “Does your home desperately need some attention?” You are encouraged to print out an application and send it in. They also require each application to have a video tour of the home. Include ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,727 views

    Bad relationships are hindering the effectiveness of our service to Jesus. Relationships that unravel have a negative impact that goes on and on.

    There’s a little girl who is dreaming of her wedding day. She knows what the church is going to look like. She knows what kind of dress she will wear. She can even see the color of her fiancé’s eyes. But something is interfering with her dreams. Her mom and dad are arguing a lot lately. And ...read more

    Reality Check Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,617 views

    One reason so many Christ-followers leave such a lousy legacy is because we wear masks. We need to learn to live with no masks. God wants me to be the real deal. My family and friends need me to be authentic. This is needed especially in the home.

    When I help a family with a funeral, I sit with family members and ask questions like, “How did your dad or mom impact your life?” Afterwards, I sometimes wonder, “What will my boys say about me someday? Will they say that they love Jesus more because of me? Or will they love Jesus less because ...read more

    When You Run God's Red Light… Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,192 views

    In the pages of the Old Testament in the book of Joshua we find a story – a rather frightening story – about how worldliness and compromise really hurt the people of God and brought on God’s judgement.

    Which of God’s red lights are you most likely to run? Certainly, His top ten red lights are found in the Old Testament book of Exodus, chapter 20 – the Ten Commandments. “You shall have no other gods before Me.” When you consider not just the surface understanding of the command but the richer ...read more

    God desires for you to have a future and a hope!

    Life gives us plenty of reasons for despair, doesn’t it? When disappointment comes, I sometimes think about a quote: “It doesn’t matter how far you fall, but how high you bounce.” Once, I shared the first part with someone hoping they would finish the last part and end up being encouraged. I ...read more

    The challenge Esther received is found in Esther 4:14 and it may very well be the challenge that our Savior has for you at this point in your life.

    Why are you positioned where you are? Why do you work where you work? Why do you live where you live? Why do you go to school where you go to school? Why do you go to church where you go to church? You do what you do because God has assigned you there - and here – “for such at time as ...read more

    When a mother fulfills her calling well, her family, her church, her community feels the positive power of her influence.

    Motherhood is a hard balancing act. Mothers are not only concerned with the growth of one single child, but in balancing the good of many who are in their care. If married, they nurture their husbands. In some cases they provide care for sick parents or relatives as well as filling needs in ...read more

    Proverbs is God’s little book of wisdom. One area of life that’s covered in Proverbs is personal finance.

    Today, I warn you that I will be using a four letter word that some of you might not like: WORK! Work gets mixed reviews, doesn’t it? Some of us work too much. We are a nation of workaholics. People working 60, 70, 80 hours a week to “get ahead.” People who work early, stay late, and bring ...read more

     | 4,862 views

    Ultimately, the birth of Jesus is about who gets glory. Glory to God!

    We haven’t spent too much time thinking about the way things were in the world when Jesus was born. I listened to a talk by speaker Rob Bell this week and I started thinking about what the world was like when Jesus was born. Look at Luke 2:1. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more
