There is something in the Bible that causes me to pause and consider whenever I read it. In fact, whenever I think about it I am amazed, humbled, sometimes a little ashamed, but mostly overwhelmed. I’ve known it and read it for many years, but it is still, in my mind anyway, profoundly gigantic.

As you and I know from experience, there are things in life that are not in our control. As we have in the past, we will in the future face some unpleasant situations that we do not directly bring upon ourselves.

A couple of years ago at this time of year, I posted, “I Guess It’s Just Me.” I mentioned: “I don’t care for Halloween. I know, lots of people have lots of fun, but, sorry, I am not interested.”
So, once again this year, I’m opting out. I’m not criticizing anyone; I just do not participate. Maybe it’s because of the origins of Halloween. Maybe it’s having to see all the representations of death everywhere you turn. Maybe it’s because of the playful attitude toward the “spirit world.”

Just as there are things we eat that are not healthy, or even in some cases toxic, there are thoughts we think that are
It’s Football Season! Some care, some don’t. In this article, I’m using football as an analogy to make a very serious point about associations and persuasions. Football fan or not, you will be able to relate.
If you’re a fan and you think enough about going to a football game those thoughts produce
As a Christian, how should we conduct ourselves at work? Should we exclaim “Praise the Lord” aloud, at regular intervals? How about finding a coworker at lunch to share the gospel message with, whether they want to hear it or not?
