I shared this quote from Dave Harvey’s terrific book When Sinners Say “I Do” a couple of weeks ago in one of my messages. It packs such a punch that I decided to feature it today in my blog post. The gospel is the heart of the Bible. Everything in Scripture is either preparation for [...]

By tale I don’t mean fiction. Each family referenced in this post once existed or does now actually exist. These tales relate fact, some of it hard-to-swallow, down right mind blowing truth. Household #1 – Ezekiel the prophet’s. Every year as I read through the entirety of the Bible I always come up short when [...]

I sit here as a myriad of medical terms flow effortlessly through my fingertips onto the screen. I compose an in-depth handout to share my expertise about Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. I attempt to answer many questions. To explain what proprioception and vestibular input are and how they can help. To condense six years [...]

Valentine’s Day. Upon finishing this post, I will grill for my bride and we will spend our 35th February 14th together cocooning at home. What a gift.

Rick Husband, the commander of the Shuttle Columbia that disintegrated upon reentry to earth’s atmosphere back in February of 2003, loved Jesus and cared deeply for his wife and children. Before he lifted off into space, Husband recorded a series of videos [...]

Some one sent me a helpful post on this immensely practical subject. Here’s a tidbit: Dads, it’s important for you to call the family together. Don’t force mom to keep looking at her watch, to always be waiting for you, to nag you to get started. Call the family together. Get the Bible. Know where/what [...]

marriage, sexual intimacy
Ever on the lookout for additional helpful resources for areas of pastoral ministry, I recently came upon a new booklet by Ray Rhodes, Jr. entitled The Marriage Bed (Books That Nourish, Dawsonville, GA, 2010, 32 pages). In some thirty years of premarital counseling this little gem is the first manual on sexual intimacy in Christian [...]
