Who Writes Your Checks?

“God is the Source of all things.” We learn that seemingly simple truth early on in our Christian discipleship. It’s Basic 101 stuff. But in an affluent culture, we fight to not have to live that truth out. Why? Because we are afraid of losing control and losing our stuff. We seek to tie ourselves […]

Are you Engage-able?

Four weeks ago, I tackled the topic of accessibility. This week, we’ll go deeper. We have never been more tethered in today’s world, yet ironically, never more disconnected. We have multiple communication devices and platforms, yet we’re disengaged in personal contact. Telling the world about our lives, while hiding our hearts. Here’s a few questions […]

If You’re Still Breathing . . .

I found out a few weeks ago that a friend of mine has cancer. The doctors said the tumor had likely been growing for several years, based on the size. He began to have some health issues and that led them to the tumor. They put a port in his chest and he’s now completed […]

Jesus on the Job

As Christian men, our faith is supposed to impact all areas of life—including business, work, career. So who we deal with and how we deal with them in our work is vitally important. It not only impacts you and others, but Christ and your witness for Him. Let’s look at three distinct groups of Christian […]

Assess Your Access

I recently spoke at a two-day men’s event where I taught four times. So, there was about three hours that I was on the platform, in front of the entire group, doing exactly what the sponsors brought me in to do. There was, however, another 41 hours I was at this event. So, because I […]

Two Gardens, Two Battlefields

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 […]

Bad Case of Spring Fever?

In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From […]

Do the Math

Like it or not, good at it or not, math is a crucial component throughout our lives. Here is a snapshot to prove it . . . 1 + 1 = 2. X + 3 – 8 + Y = 25. Degree = 126 hours. 4.25% X 30 years. Child X 21 years = $295,000. […]

Coping with Cognitive Chaos

Decisions. Making decisions. Evaluating choices. One of the constant stresses and issues we deal with as men—especially ones with deadlines or major expectations. And often, just the sheer volume of decisions is overwhelming. Will we take a decision too lightly, make it hastily without enough info, and then regret it for years? Or stress, worry, […]

Etched in Eternity

This week I had to drive back to my hometown to take care of some family business, requiring me to spend a few hours in the small town I grew up in. I realized I was going to be driving by the city cemetery where my dad and all his relatives are buried. I hadn’t […]
