Joy in the Journey
Life isn’t always about destination… sometimes it’s just as much about “the journey.” When my kids were little we lived a short distance from a creek that ran through the woods. Every once in a while my kids would say to me, “Daddy, let’s go on a ‘venture’”...
The Tempered Strength of God
When my kids were preschool age I used to wrestle with them on our living room floor. Every once in a while I would “pin them” to the floor just to remind them that I was “the boss,” but most of the time I would let them beat me so they could know the thrill of...
The First Order of Creation
Have you discovered yet that God does things in sequence… in a progression. Just look to the front of the book He gave us and you’ll see that He does things “in order.” You need look no further than Genesis 1:3 to discover that LIGHT is the very first order of...
Where All of Our Problems Began
Where did all of our problems begin? We could go back to the garden of Eden where Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit. Yes, we could say that DISOBEDIENCE is where all of our problems began. But, let’s go back further than that, to before the fruit...

Problems in the Family
Somebody recently told me of a Christian who became an atheist because he said the hypocrites in the church made him turn away from God. I shook my head in disbelief and replied, “That’s like me saying to my wife ‘I’m leaving you because I don’t like the way our kids...
Our Spiritual Umbilical Cord

Where’s the Flavor?
Have you ever had a cold or a sinus infection that was so bad that you couldn’t taste any of the food you were eating? I remember one time I was eating a nice, big, juicy $12 hamburger at a restaurant, but I had a sinus infection and I couldn’t taste anything. It...
