One day a piece of Scripture set up camp in the back of my head. It would waltz into my morning devotions to say “hi” but wasn’t satisfied with such an obvious setting. It chose to show up at night, during a meeting at work, or in a conversation with my wife. The only...

Does everyone in your family actively follow Christ? How about the people you know at work, in your neighborhood or in your social circles? If you are like me, the answer is no. Of course, I would love for everyone I know to experience the personal forgiveness,...

I didn’t get it. Growing up in the church, I tried prayer. I really had. But I couldn’t figure out how it worked. Ask and it will be given to you I’d ask for something specific and sometimes I could see the answer, but most of the time I couldn’t. Why was one prayer...

One day, it hit me. I had no rhythm. I’m not referring to dance floor moves (although I don’t have those either). It had more to do with an inner sense of timing. I was working hard, trying my best, but things just weren’t coming together. Below the emails, activities...
