Knowledge Gets In The Way
Have you ever come across those people who seem to know everything about everything? They always have an answer. Don’t you just want to slap them?? Just kidding. However, “knowledge” can get in the way of relationship and enjoyment. Read this. So, my knowledge and understanding of God’s Word can actually hinder people from growing…

The Gift
So my wife got me one of the greatest Christmas presents ever! Yes, I know it’s early. And I’m not going to tell you what it is. Good luck! I already opened it. She let me. I just figured out some things about it that will be even more helpful in the future. Can you…

Thankfulness
Just this week I went to a local area minister’s breakfast. This happens on the first Thursdays of the month. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone, but I came away with something that I have to share with you. After the meal, while we were all sitting at our tables, we finished our “get-together” with…

Competitive Shopping
When I shop I look for the lowest price with the greatest value. Right now I’m looking for a good camera. Our video camera is beginning to slack in it’s purpose. It won’t automatically adjust it’s focus as efficiently as it used to which can create problems when I want to see what I’m filming.…

Beginning Again

A Portrait of Grace
One of the neatest Psalms I’ve read is Psalm 36. For some reason there was this urging need to read this particular Psalm yesterday. Check this out: “Transgression speaks to the ungodly in his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery…

Into Thy Hand I Commit My Spirit
“Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast ransomed me O Lord God of Truth” (Ps 31:5) The first thing I think of when I hear this verse isn’t always that they were the words of my Lord Jesus Christ on the cross; more often I relate them to the last funeral I attended.…

Seeker Sensitive Truth?
So I’m trying to figure out exactly what “seeker sensitive” means. The more I think about it the more I’m convinced it’s a wrong idea to have. How’s that for starting a post? I believe I have just offended a bunch of church goers and church leaders.Right now my Scripture reading has taken me to…

Understanding My Place
So, I probably just experienced one of the best times in my prayer life today. I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out, but one thing that has continually crept up to me spiritually is my lack of humility. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m pretty sure of myself, and that I…
Got any book recommendations?
