Warnings

by

Have you ever read the Old Testament and wondered how God could just wipe people out? I mean there’s the the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Jericho and all the nations in the land of Canaan. It just seems like lots of innocent people are suddenly killed as a result of God’s orders. Where’s the God […]

For I Know the Plans I Have For You

by

I’ve begun a countdown. I even have a countdown app on my iPhone. Four hundred days from today, I will turn 50. I don’t know about you, but 50 doesn’t sound young to me. Of course, it’s all a matter of perspective. If you’re 70, then 50 is young. If you’re 20, then 50 is […]

Something Better Than Prayer

by

Before I get started, some disclaimers: I don’t believe in formulas. In Chemistry? Yes. In life? No. God isn’t a predictable science experiment. If we do A and B, God is not obligated to do C. Life is messy. We live in a fallen, broken, sinful world. Bad things can happen even when we do […]

What Does God Want?

by

When I operated a personal training studio a number of years ago, some clients would wonder why they weren’t losing weight even though they’d been working out for several weeks.

What’s Most Important Today?

by

I have several tasks to complete before the end of the work day. I have other things I’d like to accomplish after work. To one degree or another, I’d consider them important. Of course, what’s important is relative. I consider working out to be important. And I’m working on a book project, so it would […]

Do You Ever Feel Like There’s More?

by

A number of years ago, a friend of mine put her hand over her heart and asked me, “Do you ever feel like there’s more?” When I was a teenager, one of my jobs was working at a fast food restaurant. My job was mostly cleaning and emptying the garbage. I remember exactly where I […]
