I have had a lot of great responses to my book – Do You Want to Be Healed? Allowing God to Heal Brokenness in Your Life – for which I am both humbled and grateful. But I heard one response the other day that kind of surprised me. A friend had read it and then…

Have you ever lost a blessing? You know what I’m talking about; God blessed you somehow but you mishandled that blessing and God decided you were not ready for it and it was taken from you. I hope this has never happened to you; it’s happened to me and it’s one of the most painful…

We’ve been doing a Chip Ingram study on Romans chapter 12 in our adult Sunday school. I think Romans 12 is perhaps my favorite chapter in scripture; it describes how we are supposed to act as true Christians. Chip hit on something this week that I want to dig into because I think it is…

Well it’s been a while since I’ve put anything on paper. Been fighting migraines so was on a new medication for the past month that pretty much made me a zombie.

I’m teaching from Andy Stanley’s It’s Personal series in our Sunday morning adult class and Andy was hitting on something pretty profound this week. It’s Personal is a series for non-Christians who may be seeking to learn more about the faith or for those brand new to the faith trying to figure it out. Andy…

You may have heard it said that we are all products of our environment and to some degree I believe that is true. But a more accurate statement would be that we are all products of our decisions. Think about it for a second. No matter where are you in life, no matter what your…

For the past couple weeks I’ve been reading The Handbook for Spiritual Warfare by Dr. Ed Murphy. It has its interesting points, but something in it the other night struck me as wrong-headed and the kind of thinking that gets Christians and even non-believers in trouble. The author was talking about sexual sin and was…
