Where Is God in the Storm? 1

May

2013

I’m pretty confident that in the days to come, you may find yourself in a conversation about why God would allow the tornado in Oklahoma to happen. You might even be wondering this yourself. It seems the same people who choose to keep God at arm’s length, thus knowing very little about Him are sometimes ...

Turn Your Obstacles into Opportunities 8

2013

Savannah Duke is a very special young lady. As you can see from the photo, she’s missing a leg. A tumor developed in utero and prohibited the growth and development of her left leg. Savannah’s precious little body went through a battery of surgeries and chemo in her first three months alive. She proved then that she was a ...

Great Leaders S.E.R.V.E. 2

May

2013

I was reading Luke 22 this morning where the disciples had a “dispute” about who should receive ”Disciple of the Year.” Jesus apparently was in ear-shot and decided to nip in the bud. His response was simple: “I am among you as the One who serves.” Let me paraphrase: Great leaders serve their team. When the leader ...

May

2013

I’ve learned that when you pour your life into something like writing a book that can be used to shape the thoughts of others, you discover that it shapes your own life as well. Ever since I finished “the OUTRAGEOUS life,” I find myself more alert to how the Lord is using others to do ...

2013

As you are writing the narrative of your life, do you want the main character (you) to be Legendary or Lame? I hope you opt for the first choice…who wants to be LAME? I equate Lame with ordinary, which can go one step further to Average. Yuck! Who wants to be average? You know what ...

Are You Sore All the Time?

Apr

2013

My son, Avery just started an after-school weight training club at his school. He’s constantly telling me that he’s sore from the workouts. I had to inform him that was exactly what he signed-up for when he started this program. Anyone committed to a consistent workout regiment will support this notion: if you’re doing it ...

Where’s God When Tragedy Strikes? 1

Apr

2013

I will be totally up-front here. There are much smarter and gifted people who can answer that question better than me. That’s why I want to share this link to a blog post on www.BibleGateway.com. The author is Lee Strobel. If that means nothing to you, let me share something very significant. He was someone who ...

Don’t Give Up 2

Apr

2013

I was SOAPing through Luke 18 this morning and didn’t get past verse 1: 18:1 “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” This is one time where Jesus tells them the point of the parable before he tells them the parable. But this ...

Do you recognize this script? “More is better than less because if there is more less stuff then you might want more and your parents just won’t let you because there’s only a little…we want more, we want more…like you really like it and you want more…” That’s the script from a TV commercial promoting ...
