All across Africa, India and other poverty-stricken nations around the globe, there are populations where a majority of the children born die before they reach their one-month-birthday, typically from malnutrition and disease. ONE MONTH! But, does it follow that those children who die within a month are less human than those of us who live longer? It... Read more

I love to travel, especially with my family. Family vacations are one of my favorite things in the whole world. But there is one aspect of it that I HATE. I hate it so much, that I pretty much refuse to do it whenever the opportunity arises. I abhor turning back. If we’re on our way out somewhere, whether it’s a roadtrip or just out to dinner, and someone forgot something… ain’t no way I’m turning back for it!... Read more

In Bowling Green, KY, you can visit the Corvette Assembly Plant and if you hang around long enough, you can actually watch a Corvette, from the time the first two metal plates are put together to the point it rolls of the assembly line at the end of the plant. Would we think, as we watch the construction process of the... Read more

We are going to begin this week’s PODCAST precisely from where we left off in last week’s podcast. We left off last week by considering together this most enigmatic verse: “Even though Jesus was God’s Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered.” (Hebrews 5:8) If you are at all uncomfortable with that, then the rest of this story will make no sense, and will leave you with an even greater discomfort. But if you are willing to allow for the fact that... Read more

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) “Poor in spirit” and “business success” don’t seem to fit together But Jesus said that the poor in spirit would actually be blessed. Granted, that’s not necessarily financial or physical blessing that He’s promising, but at the very least we can say that you’ll be better off in the end if you’re blessed, than if you are not. And being “poor in spirit” is the way... Read more

If the debate is framed around the question, “What is the unborn”, then a pro-life position holder is in the driver’s seat. But, if the debate is about choice, privacy, or trusting women, the pro-lifer will lose. So, if someone asks, “Why don’t you pro-lifers trust women to make their own personal decisions?”... Read more

“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you!!” (Isaiah 26: 3 ) Let’s take a look at this word up close and personal:  “You will keep” …Satan is very cunning.  Our knowledge alone will not keep us protected.  What we need is a watchman.  And we do have Jesus who is willing and able if we will set our minds on him. The Hebrew word for keep is nasar, meaning to guard, keep, and protect.  ... Read more

What is a minister? Webster’s Dictionary defines a “minister” as: One who acts under the orders of another, or who is employed by another to execute his purposes. Who are we under and from whom do we receive our instructions? Jesus Christ! So, God has given us our spouses and our children to minister His will to. Therefore, it’s extremely important that we see ourselves as ministers – not just husbands, wives, or parents. We are here, under God and His will, to... Read more

Each of us should continue to learn to love each other as Christ has loved us.  And, I can’t think of a better place to learn how to really love than in a stepfamily.  It’s a daily choice to choose to love others as God has loved us.  It’s a growing process but that process begins with wanting to please God by loving the ones He has sent us.  And that always begins with our family whether it’s blended or not.  You and I... Read more

The modern self-esteem movement is celebrating its 50th birthday. In 1965, sociologist Morris Rosenberg invented “The Self-Esteem Scale” — the first academic tool that assessed a person’s view of himself. In 1969 Psychologist Nathaniel Branden took that data and released “The Psychology of Self-Esteem,” which became the bible of the modern self-esteem movement. Over the next two decades higher self-esteem came to be seen as the antidote to crime, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and student underachievement. Parents were taught to... Read more
