Yesterday I promised more on this question of who I will spend the rest of my life with.  Like I said, for most of us the question of God’s will revolves around what our career will be or who we will spend our lives with.  I believe, however, that God is asking a different questionContinue reading “Who”

One of the mistakes we make in following Christ is thinking that the opportunity will always be there.  I have frequent conversations with individuals who are weighing the pros and cons of following God thinking they will always be able to say yes later.  We do this all the time in the American Church.  WeContinue reading “Missed Opportunities”

A smile lit up his face the second I walked into the room.  There were several people around him, but when my son saw my face he smiled from ear to ear and started screaming.  Do you have any idea what that’s like?  I’m a rock star in those moments.  I know what it’s likeContinue reading “Excited to See You”

 As leaders, one of the most frightening realities that we face is the fact that those we lead will inevitably take on a relationship with God very similar to our relationship with God.  It’s a crazy thing to think about! More discipleship is that in making disciples of Christ those following us will take onContinue reading “Leadership”

There are two days a week that I don’t really get to see my son—Tuesdays and Thursdays. I load all of my after-work meetings into those two days so that I can see him on the other days of the week. Tuesdays are usually ok! More because we spend every moment that he is awakeContinue reading “Thursdays”

We love because He first loved us! A new perspective and beautiful story! A Change in perspective can allow one to see or miss truth. Perspective limits us, and at the same time can give us tremendous insight. This past month I’ve seen what a shift in perspective can do to a passage of God’sContinue reading “Change in Perspective”

You will never feel prepared for what He is asking you to do. God doesn’t get mad at Moses the first time he questions God’s call. You should be overwhelmed when you hear God’s call but don’t keep arguing.   Sometimes it’s the right thing to be upset with those you’re leading. There were times inContinue reading “Lessons from Moses”

The respect you show your leaders will be reflected in the respect that is shown to you as a leader.  If you are constantly questioning the one God has put over you, expect those under you to question your leadership as well!  David was subject to the leadership of Saul to the point of persecution,Continue reading “Lessons from David”

How many decisions will you make today?  How many are you actually a little nervous about?  How many are you making on your own?  You don’t have to continue this journey on your own. Stop consulting yourself and take those decisions to God in prayer.  A good friend once told me, “Whatever you’re not prayingContinue reading “In Just One Day”

Today I retweeted a quote by Wollstonecraft which speaks directly to the temptations we all face every day.  The quote although not entirely accurate states, “No man chooses evil because it is more evil? He only mistakes it for happiness.” I’m not positive that this is true without exception but I do believe it to beContinue reading “The Lie”
