In my younger years I lived for excitement.  I considered myself exciting and went to exciting places and lived for the next exciting adventure.  However, as the years have passed I've come t

I've been cruising through the book of Exodus for my devotions and as I was reading chapters 2 and 3 there were a couple of verses that intrigued my spirit.

I was reading from Genesis 39 for my devotions and as I read the chapter there was a phrase that kept reappearing.  Can you discern the phrase from the following passages?

So the other day I was in my house with my family and the door bell rang.  But we were too busy to answer the door, so we kept on doing our own things.  Then the door bell rang again and then som

So here is something for you to think about as you go through your day --

Our sense of smell is amazing.  Think about the things you really love to smell; a flower, fresh baked cookies, a summer rainstorm.  Now think of some things that you really would love to avoi

Ever since Adam and Eve rebelled against God by eating the forbidden fruit, life got tough.  The pain of life is still with us today and will be until we either meet death, or meet our Maker at Hi

As I'm writing this blog, Valentine's Day is almost upon me, so love is on my mind.  (Yes, I'm a man of love.  You can even call me "The Love Doctor" if you so desire.)

I don't know where you are on your personal Bible reading, but I've been reading through the book of Revelation.  With that being the case I thought that for the next several blogs that I

Throughout my 20+ years of pastoral ministry I've had many people make true confessions to me.  The confessions usually have to do with a sin issue within their life and they usually tell me

For many children there is a huge fear in being forgotten, especially if your parents have done it before.  For example, I'll never forget waiting outside of my elementary school building for

Even though we live in a culture that loves to flaunt its physical nakedness, like Victoria Secret ads or like "Desparate Housewives" television shows, the naked truth is that we live to "cover-up"

People pride themselves on being "escape artists."  Houdini would amaze the crowds as he would be locked inside a box and yet he would escape.  Teenagers impress themselves and their fr

There are many things in life that would be worthless if they were not HARD.  For example, what good would it be if you were on a construction site wearing a soft hat when a hammer fell on your he

I love the book of Hebrews, so I was excited to start re-reading it again this morning for my devotions.

With Halloween just around the corner, many kids might be getting scared thinking about that creepy night.  Perhaps many parents and grandparents are fearful about letting their kids and grandkids

Being raised by Christian parents, I was always taught that it wasn't right for Christians to fight.

I've never fought in a war battle, but I've seen the men who have returned home with wounds from the battlefield.  Some have lost their arms and legs, and some have even given their lives
