Life, Ministry, and The Gospel

About

To describe me is to begin with the fact that I am, of first importance, a Christ-follower. I first yielded my life to Jesus as a nine-year-old boy. Unfortunately, I was not really taught what it means to follow Jesus beyond going to church, saying my prayers and avoiding bad music, bad language and bad girls. Not until my twenties did anyone really invest in helping me develop into a committed follower of Jesus, on mission in the world.

The “In-Betweens” of Life

1Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; 2And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3And...

The Lesson of the Lot

Redemption is NOT…

28“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (NASB95) Growing up, I have early memories of my parents teaching me about sin. Not “how to” sin…because I already had an advanced degree in the subject. My parents tried...

The Devil in a Red Dress- Proverbs 7

Have you ever heard a sad tale of a Christian who blew it? Maybe as you heard the story, you asked yourself, “How could anyone fall for that?” I have certainly asked that question. On both sides: As it relates to others and with myself, “How could I fall for such a...

God’s Portrait of Blessing- Psalm 128

What comes to mind when you think about the blessing of God? For many, the mind races to those things of material significance. A new car, a promotion, a fat retirement account, or perhaps increased influence among men. These are all potential evidence of...

Power and Peace- Psalm 29

A dad was once trying to explain the vastness of God to his five-year-old daughter. In a fashion that was both cute and revealing, she posed the question, “If God is so big and I am so small, how can He fit in my heart?” Therein lies the question that has perplexed...

When He-Sed invades the Heart- Psalm 36

Photo by J D on Unsplash A trip through parts of the American South will surely reveal gardens and fields growing watermelons. Some small. Some big. Those descriptors probably leave a little room for speculation unless you have something to compare it to. Did you know...

Arrival at the Gate is not Arrival- Philippians 3:12-14

Photo by Robert Bye on Unsplash Let me say right out of the gate (pun intended) that it can be frustrating to travel with me. Many travelers fit neatly into one of two camps: They like to arrive, clear TSA, and walk right onto the plane as its boarding; or they want...

God Only- Psalm 62:1-2

Have you ever tried to help God out? Maybe you gave him an escape clause in a prayer like, “If it be your will…” Maybe you “sensed” a direction for your life, but you kept your options open, “Just in case.” One of the things the Lord the Lord is teaching me is the...

Psalm 34- What do you do with fear?

Some years back, a friend of mine and I were traveling by car one winter night. Actually, it was a lot of years back. We were both in our twenties and in the Army. Mark began to wax eloquent about how our temperature sensitivity was more mental than physical. He said...
