A Way to Overcome the Storm
Posted on February 19, 2013 2 Comments
This mission of love began after Jesus had completed a long day of ministry. Weary and tired, love compelled him to board a small boat to go over the sea of Galilee. “Let’s go to the other side,” He told His disciples. He did not tell them why; He kept the details a secret, but […]
Living the Blessed Life

The Bible says the fool has said in his heart there is no God. Indeed, such a person is a fool. But I believe there is an even greater fool. It is the one who believes in God, but proceeds to live his life as if God does not exist. The greatest fool in my […]

What does a child of God need when facing a mountain of discouragement? When the progress she needs to make in her life is not happening and her best efforts to accomplish a positive goal are going no where? When he or she is facing a mountain of discouragement that just won’t move? A word […]
Parenting God’s Way

What is the solution to not provoking our children? It is to “bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Our Heavenly Father is a lover and an encourager. So, if our children are becoming resentful and discouraged as the result of our words and actions, we are not bringing them up […]
How Parents Provoke Their Children

Ask a typical man what he does, and you’d likely hear about his career. “I’m a teacher.” “I’m an accountant.” “I’m a doctor.” Seldom will you hear him say first, “I’m a dad.” But the job of being a parent is by far the most important job on earth. Children are indeed precious to God […]
My Parents Don’t Know Nuthin’

“Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.” (John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester). Without doubt, being a good parent is the most challenging and most underrated assignment on earth. It’s also the most important and most rewarding, even when it doesn’t feel so! […]

Guys, The Lord gave you only one instruction concerning your wife. Not ten, just one! And here it is. “Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the Church.” (Eph.5:25) Not lord it over her, not abuse her, not enslave her–love her! Could not be any simpler, more clear, less complicated! Love her how? In […]
Just Killing Time!

On more than one occasion I’ve asked someone what he was doing and got the response, “Just killing time.” Unfortunately, that’s what many people do with the time God gives them–they just kill it. But what a sad thing to do with time! When you are killing time, you are not just committing murder. You […]
Part 2–Submit? You Must Be Kidding!
Posted on December 26, 2012 5 Comments
Submission cannot be obtained by force. It must be given freely. A person who tries to force his or her spouse to submit may succeed in getting that person to obey, but that type of compliance is servitude, not biblical submission. One would expect to see that in a master-slave relationship, not in a godly […]
Submit? You Must Be Kidding! (Part 1)

I remember being accosted by two women years ago at a wedding because I said that the wife was to submit to her husband. In this day and age, the idea of submission has taken on very negative connotations. And for good reasons! Too many with authority
