This is an important article, and you are encouraged to pass it on to pastors you know. The main thrust is that a man cannot credibly preach faithfulness while cultivating a reputation of unreliability. Take time to read, share and comment on this recent post.

Have you ever scraped the top of your foot as a child? Maybe you were playing outside on your bike, scooter, or simply took a spill, and the top part of your foot, bare skin, just got chewed up on the cement? If you have had this experience, you understand that the only way to clean it was to scrub....

If you are "Church Shopping" and your list has specific things you must have, please make sure that list includes,

1. Committed to prayer
2. Committed to preaching
3. Committed to accountability
4. Committed to discipleship

These are more important than a massive praise team, amazing lights, and state-of-the-art children's areas. Fads come and go; prayer, preaching, accountability, and discipleship stand the test of time!

Sometimes believers just say careless things. Have you ever heard "Oh, you lost weight!" while walking away, thinking, "Man! They thought I was fat?" This is an important read, and it should be shared and discussed. Let's do that.

Often men and women leave Sunday morning wounded over what seems to be innocent words of observation.

Do you put pressure on yourself so that Jesus will love you more? Do you place burdens on others because they do not line up with your standard of Christianity? Here is another read to help you think through the need for proper balance. 😟😟

Have you ever heard of the 1985 Venture Chemical accident? To heat paraffin wax, engineers designed an outer jacket working with an inner jacket to heat the material. There was a specific purpose to the design, as it was imperative that the pressure remained at 33.75 psi. That is an important number...

A quick 5 minute read with a Saturday coffee. Such an important topic.

A contractor was hired to fix an old home in desperate need of renovation. Around halfway through the project, the neighbors started talking. One man said, “I heard he is using cheap materials and pocketing the difference.” Another neighbor said, “My cousin said, ‘he cuts corners all the tim...

Pastor, never forget Jesus entrusted His lambs to your care. Don’t allow a few stubborn goats to steal your joy, weaken your resolve or derail your ministry. Shepherd the flock faithfully and leave the goats to the Chief Shepherd.
