Where's The LIFE?
My middle son had fallen asleep on the floor in front of the TV and I had just put my daughter in her crib. But it had been a rough night for my oldest son, Aaron. A short time earlier I had caught him in the baby's crib with an ink marker in his hand. He had written on important papers, his shoes, and on the wall. I had to send him to bed early. It had been a half-hour and he was still whimpering in his bed. Finally, he came out to the living room where I was reading to t
Peter: An Unlikely Hero of Faith
He was a relatively successful businessman -- a tradesman, heartily plying his craft with a small fleet of fishing boats that he shared with his brother and his friends. He knew the sea, his boats, his friends, his family -- and as a God-fearing Jewish man, he knew his religion. But religion was more for the formative years. It was for his wife and his children. It's not that he didn't believe, but he was a busy man, trying to earn an honest living and put bread on the table.
Are You Driven or Called?
In his famous book, Ordering Your Private World, Gordon MacDonald contrasts being "driven" by negative or selfish motives, verses being "called" by God. He declares that being "called" should provide our motivation. He explains that yielding to God's call brings great peace and rest to our lives. In my life and ministry experience I have been both “called” and “driven.” I believe there is a positive side to being driven – Jesus was “driven” into the wilderness by the Holy Spi

The Harness of the Holy Spirit
Horses are one of the most beautiful and powerful of God's creatures. Left to run wild, a horse is a ferocious and potentially dangerous creature. But once it is trained – and under the bit and bridle of its master – a horse can perform amazing feats of strength and skill, and is one of the gentlest creatures on earth. You and I are a lot like that, aren't we? We need God to temper us and to lead us. As the 23rd Psalm says, "He leads me beside still waters." Without His leadi
Love Never Fails: Paul, Apostle of Christ Movie Review
Some Christians caught in Nero’s persecution were doused in oil and set on fire as torches to light the streets of Rome at night. Others were thrown to the wild beasts in what the Romans called “the Circus.” The new movie, “Paul: Apostle of Christ,” opens in the midst of this reign of terror. Paul (James Faulkner) is imprisoned by Nero in the infamous Mamertine Prison when Luke (Jim Caviezel), his faithful disciple and companion sneaks into the prison to give him comfort – ri
Joy ... In His Presence
It was a major time of transition in my life, and things didn’t appear to be working out. I was working for a ministry, but was having a hard time making ends meet. I was getting by month-to-month, but just barely. I was having a hard time maintaining my joy. I grew up in a Christian family and learned at an early age that joy was not dependent on circumstances. “Joy,” I was taught in Christian school, “came from having your priorities straight: Jesus, Others, then You (J.O.Y
Teaching Your Kids to Put On the Armor of God
Every person who draws breath on this planet is caught in a celestial battle between God and Satan; between angels and demons; between good and evil. The Bible makes this clear and instructs the believer to be prepared for spiritual warfare. It doesn't matter how old you are – which means your children are in this spiritual battle today and every day. How are you helping them prepare for the encounters they will have with the forces of evil? When my children were in grade sch
