The Building Campaign
Our church is in the middle of a building campaign.  You know what what means, lots of talk about money and finances.  While I know its not a very popular topic, I don’t mind it too much.  It’s a topic that Beth and I embrace and try to really seek what God is [...]

First, my wife has told me that my previous entry about the sin of overeating might offend overweight people, and that I might come across as critical.  Since I myself am overweight, and have struggled with my weight for most of my life, I just assumed everybody would understand that I was talking about myself [...]

Churches today have a wide range of approaches to dealing with sin.  Some churches just ignore sin in hopes that it will go away.  Some churches go on the offensive and try to scare or guilt it out of people.  I think most churches fall somewhere in between.  They claim to take a hard stance [...]

Being a parent can be frustrating. You tell your kids not to do something, and they do it. So you discipline them. You tell them not to do it again, and they do it again. You discipline them again. You tell them not to do it again. And they [...]

Why does it always take something bad to make us adjust our priorities?  Why can’t we just be going along well, content, and joyful, and keep our priorities in line?  As I sit here in the Emergency Room waiting room at Baylor in Dallas, I’m reminded of several recent happenings in which God is teaching [...]

We went to a memorial service tonight for a man that I had met once, but never really knew.  It was the most inspirational and moving memorial service I’ve ever attended.  It was the type of service that makes me really feel like I missed out on knowing such a Godly man.  He was a [...]

The recent anniversary of that dark day in history now widely known at 9/11 has reminded me of a question I’ve often wondered since that day.  3000 people died from the cowardice events of that day.  The country mourned for days, weeks, months, years, over the lives that were tragically lost.  It’s been 7 years [...]

This is a follow-up, or Part 2, to this previous post: Do You Ever Wonder? So please read that first if you haven’t already.
I wonder if Jesus ever got sick.  Caught a cold?  If so, do you think he went to a Dr?  Would that be like the cobblers son going to Payless Shoes?
I wonder [...]

Even if you’ve never said it out loud, I know you’ve wondered, “What’s so great about heaven?”  Everybody wants to know what heaven will be like.  And even though the Bible does talk about heaven a lot, its very difficult for us to really have a decent understanding of what heaven will be like.  We [...]
