As we’ve been forgiven

I like forgiveness quite a bit, don’t you? I like for my wife to forgive me when I’ve been rude or unkind. I like for my kids to forgive my impatience. I like others to extend heaps of forgiveness to...

Lead us not into temptation

We all need prayer primers, I suppose. Most of us have prayed thousands of times, but we’re like the apostles—they came to Jesus and asked him how to pray, even though they’d been praying all their...

Look at him

I watched most of the Super Bowl this past Sunday night, and though the anticipated tight competition never panned out, it’s still entertaining. Watching some of the world’s greatest athletes compete...

Moth, rust, and thieves

There’s a reason Jesus said so much about money—millions of people lose their souls because they start loving it too much. The problem is, it grabs your heart and won’t let go. Several years ago I...

Some investment advice

I’m not an investment expert, but I understand some of the basics. I know that when I’m deciding about where and how much I’m going to invest, I need to look at risk and reward. I know that if I invest...

A vision checkup

You probably heard the news last week about the movie star who died of a drug overdose. It’s sad and tragic on so many levels, but honestly, it wasn’t surprising. Not that I expected it with this...

Competing for your heart

Whether we recognize it or not, we’ve already made a big decision today: What (or whom) are we going to serve? What will determine our decisions, our priorities, our attitudes? What’s going to define...

What’s keeping you awake at night?

Some of you lay awake last night worrying about something. It may have been the blood panels that made your doctor want to do a few more tests. “It’s probably nothing,” he said, but your mind has gone...

Nitpicking, fault-finding, and a hypercritical spirit

This passage has always convinced me that Jesus had a sense of humor. If what he’s saying wasn’t so completely serious, it’d be downright hilarious. Try to visualize the image he paints: Judge not,...

Starting over (again)

We’re about two weeks into 2015 . . . are you still on your diet? Maybe you’re not guilty of making and breaking resolutions, but some of us have been. One year I signed a year-long contract at a gym...

Prayer is tough, isn’t it? Not simple, quick prayers, the kind you pray before meals—those aren’t that hard. But praying consistently and fervently takes discipline. One of the reasons it’s hard is...

The Facebook me isn’t the real me

Chances are, you use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, or Google+ (or some combination of them) . . . They’ve completely changed how we stay in touch and share information with one another. It’s...

My way doesn’t work so well

Submitting to someone is tough to do, and it starts early. Ask the two-year-old who looks you in the eye and defiantly grabs the forbidden cookie. Or the seventh-grader who lives by the adage that...

The girl with pink hair

I went to a fast-food joint earlier this week, and the young lady in front of me was, well, different. Her hair was a shade of cotton candy pink that I’m pretty sure wasn’t her natural hair color. She...

Religion can be bad, very bad, so bad it keeps you from seeing Jesus. You might be offended at that, so please read on. Like many of you I’ve been steeped in religion all my life. I was religious...

That little hypocrite

If there’s anyone who’s universally despised, it’s a hypocrite. The story’s all too common. The preacher walks slowly to the front and faces the church with his head bowed. His voice is quivering and...

Will Christianity survive?

So yes, some of the stuff going on in our country frightens me, and from looking at social media and some of my favorite blogs, I don’t think I’m alone. The number of Christians in America is...

What I learned in a hospital room

As a minister I’ve visited hospitals a lot over the years, usually for a surgery or sickness that kept the patient in the hospital for a day or two, maybe longer. Occasionally, though, it’s different....
