Wealth vs. Wisdom

What if you were offered the choice of wealth or wisdom? Which would you choose? To define, for wealth, at the end of each month, how ever much you needed to pay the bills of however much you spent that month would be provided and all paid to zero. For wisdom, any situation you encounter, […]

Victory in the Valley

In 1 Kings 20, we find Syria planning to attack Israel again. The Syrian leaders make this decision: Last time, Israel defeated us in the hills, so that’s the reason we lost. If we can fight them on flat land, in the valley between the mountains, we can win. 1 Kings 20:28: “The prophet went […]

The Private Made Public

We all know the buzz of the day on Donald Sterling. It’s the perfect storm of sports, racism, money, power, and even constitutional rights thrown in. As with so many current events with people chiming in from all directions, I want to take a look at what we can learn from this situation—deeper than the […]

Knee Deep in…

In checking in on one of the many 3SG groups meeting around the country, one of the leaders responded with, “Some groups are struggling to meet consistently, but one is knee deep with one of their guys in some issues.” He was obviously comparing and stating the group involved in ministry to a member wasn’t […]

To Leaders of Men

Anything, God?

What if God appeared to you one night and said, “Ask for anything you want and I will give it to you”? What would run through your mind? How quick would you answer? Would you think there was a catch? In 1 Kings 3:5, this is exactly what God said to Solomon. We can learn […]

The Battle in the Garden

When we survey the great, epic battlegrounds of history, we never suspect a garden as a likely location. But in two very key places in Scripture, a garden became a battlefield. Heaven and Hell clashing for the heart of man. The first battle—Garden of Eden “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the […]

What is Men’s Ministry?

This post/article is going to be a bit different today. I’m going to let you into “my world” for a few hundred words. Having a men’s ministry today is tough at best. There are a lot of dynamics going on in the church and the world that discounts and disengages active ministry and training to […]

What If…?

What if you found out God had very strategically placed you … … with your spouse? … with the children you’re parenting? … in the job where you work? … with the people you work with? … in the neighborhood where you live? … inside your circles of influence? … around specific people for you […]

Accountability vs. Accusation

See if you can find the difference in these two sentences? Where were you last night between 8:00 and 11:00 PM ? Where were you last night between 8:00 and 11:00 PM? What about these two? Your Internet report says you had no activity the past 2 days. Want to explain that? Your Internet report says […]
