Living Water

by

Here in Northwest Arkansas, it’s been a hot, dry August. I can’t remember the last time it rained. In the midst of the 100+ degree heat, my son started 9th grade football practice. The head coach does a great job of stressing the need to stay hydrated. I hear him remind the team after almost […]

Recapturing Your Heart

by

Most likely, you don’t have a pagan shrine set up in your living room. No golden calf. No gods cast from silver. Nothing resembling what we’d normally think of as an idol. We’re too “modern” for that, aren’t we? We’re intelligent enough to know that a gold image or idol carved from a block of […]

That’s when Jesus turns to the crowd and tells them they can’t be one of His disciples if they don’t hate their family […]

The Root of Our Problems

by

When I was 16-years-old, I began weight training to get in shape for football. I immediately fell in love with it and have kept at it for most of the past 31 years. Except for the previous 11 months. A year ago, we moved which made it much less convenient to get to the health […]

Progressive Overload

by

We moved across town four months ago. We love our house and location. It’s right across the street from the University of Arkansas campus. It’s a perfect location for ministry to students. We’re about one mile from the high school and about two miles from the junior high, so it’s easy to get to both […]

You Can Start Over

by

I got serious about fitness and weight training when I was 16-years-old. I was a sophomore in high school and was training for football. After high school and college, I continued training to stay in shape and because I enjoyed it. Years later, I owned a personal training studio and worked with many clients in […]
