In the late 80’s, there were these commercials on TV that sought to fight against drugs. They were part of a campaign launched in the U.S. by Partnership for a Drug-Free America. And one that I remember, and still quote to this day, is a commercial where this dad walks into his son’s room withContinue reading “What Kind of Example are We Setting?”

I’m curious: How do you make decisions? Now, I’m not talking about what to wear before you head out of the house in the morning or what to have for lunch each day. I’m talking about those life-changing kind of decisions. Do we take time to really think through our decisions or do we throwContinue reading “The Decisions We Make”

This week I read one of my all-time favorite Bible stories from when I was a young boy. It’s the story of David and Goliath. I think most of us are familiar with this section of scripture. If not, you can read it in 1 Samuel 17. It’s a story that has become a popularContinue reading “Who’s the Underdog?”

In Ecclesiastes 8:6, we’re told, “For there is a time and a way for everything, even when a person is in trouble.” The problem is that often times we want things to be in our time and in our way. But one thing I’ve learned as a follower of Jesus is that God’s timing isContinue reading “There is a Time and a Way for Everything”

I’ve had an old DCTalk song stuck in my head this week. For those of you who don’t know of DCTalk, they were a Christian pop/rap group in the 80’s and 90’s. One of their members is my all-time favorite artist, Tobymac. The song that was stuck in my head is one of their later songs titled,Continue reading “Are We Turning To Him?”

This week my wife shared a devotional with our church for Christmas Eve. So, instead of writing my own blog today, I decided to share hers. Matthew 28:18-20 (TLB) He (Jesus) told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and earth. Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing themContinue reading “We Are Never Alone”

Today I heard the Christmas song “Mary Did You Know?” This is a question that I have often thought about. Did Mary have any idea what she was saying when she told the Angel, “May it be done to me according to your word.” I’m sure she couldn’t even imagine what it would be likeContinue reading “Mary, Did You Know?”

In Luke 2:14, the angels sing, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” The phrase “Peace on earth” is something you see everywhere at Christmastime. But many of us wonder where that peace is. Whether we’re searching for peace in the chaos of our ownContinue reading “Let Him Be Your Peace”

As we enter into the month of December and all that the Christmas season brings, I know that this time can be different for everyone. Some of us are full of excitement and joy in anticipation of what this year will bring, while others of us dread this time and can’t wait for it toContinue reading “Reflecting on What Christmas is All About”

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. Hopefully you were able to take time to stop, reflect, and give thanks for the wonderful blessings we have in and through the Lord. But now that Thanksgiving is over, we shouldn’t stop giving thanks. Psalm 118:24 tells us: “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be gladContinue reading “Continuing to Give Thanks”
