Remember the Poor
One thing we can all agree on is that there are poor people who need to be cared for by the church. We may not be able to agree on much, but the responsibility to care for those who are down and out rests on those of us who have been blessed with much. The […]
A Difficult Decision
Have you ever thought about how much time you spend trying to make people happy? Whether it be your spouse or your supervisor we spend a lot of brain power thinking about how we can please them. When they aren’t satisfied with us, it can send us into a downward spiral. As a Christian, there […]

Do You Acknowledge Him
It is so easy to give a shoutout to someone you know. You can post a picture of them, tag them in it, and then write something flattering to let others know your love an appreciation for that person. It is so common today that we can almost do it in our sleep. The question […]
Don’t Be Fooled
Conspiracy theories run amok on the internet. There is rarely a day that goes by when I don’t hear of some new plot by the government to control our lives. Some of them are ridiculous, but others are tantalizing because they had a morsel of truth to them. As a believer in Jesus Christ we […]

The reason behind that is there is nowhere for them to live. Farmers can’t bring in large crews which delay their harvest […]
Are You Up To the Challenge
My oldest child is enamored with American Ninja Warrior. A while back, I got an email advertising tickets to one of the tapings for the current season. I took him and his buddy, and we went down to Universal Studios Hollywood and watched the Los Angeles finals on the famous New York Street back lot. […]
Pick Your Battles
Some of the best advice I’ve ever received is “Choose which mountain you want to die on.” What it means is that you can fight every fight. Choose your battles wisely. Some battles aren’t worth the air you expend others are worth laying down your life. As Christians, we are often running around fighting battles […]
Give it Time
Patience is in short supply today. We want information and answers immediately. If we are forced to wait we are sure to let everyone know we are not happy. This is especially true when it comes to issues of justice. We see a person has done something wrong, but others have realized it yet. Jesus […]
