Resurrection

As the resurrection remembrance day approaches, I’m reminded that I serve a living God. Not a God who died 2,000 years ago, but a God that defeated death and sin all those years ago. He didn’t have to, but His love for you and me held Him there. He suffered for us that we may be [...]

Homeless Mark

I work in a large city, and if you’ve ever been to a large city you know that there are many less fortunate people than us in those cities.  I’m not a man who carries much cash, usually none at all.  I rely on my debit card for all my purchases.  If I need cash [...]

Prayer…

A few months have passed by since the last post.  Life sure is busy at times.  Full time jobs, part-time jobs, children, family activities, hobbies;  I think sometimes we let the worldly things over-rule the heavenly things.  I’ve been trying to get more grounded, meditating, clearing my head of the worldly struggles and life in [...]

Anger

If you are married I’m willing to bet that there have been times when you’ve felt anger towards your husband or wife.  Tell the truth, this is a Christian blog.  There have been times in my marriage when I was so mad at my wife that I couldn’t see, think, or talk straight.  She knows [...]

I Am With You

This may seem amusing, but I’m sure some of the men reading this can relate…at least I hope you can.  One night several months ago my wife and I were watching tv.  Actually I was watching tv and she was sleeping.  I was sitting in my favorite recliner and all of the sudden I hear [...]

God Can’t Use Me

It’s amazing how we often limit God’s abilities, isn’t it?  We think the creator of the universe can’t use sinners like us to do his work.  “There’s no way God could use somebody like me, I’ve been divorced.”   “God wouldn’t want me, I struggle with lust and have a sinful sexual past.”  “I had [...]

The Unmerciful Servant

Jesus is an awesome story-teller.  Not only is he entertaining but he teaches lessons as he tells his stories.  I recently experienced a grudge towards a total stranger.  Let me lay it out a little bit…my one year old baby girl was sick.  She was burning up, obviously had a high fever, and was very [...]

Doubting Thomas

Are you a doubting Thomas?  I know sometimes I am.  I believe that events in our daily lives often turn our minds into that of Thomas.  We doubt Jesus is with us…we doubt that His plan for our lives is real…or worse, we doubt that He’s real.  I’ve had several events in my life that [...]
