do you know His voice ?

Jack Green, an 80 year old man who lived most of his life in Arkansas and Missouri, died this week. He left behind his wife, son, grandchildren, and many joy-filled memories. Most of my contact with Jack was in the 1950′s and 60′s as a kid and teenager. I remember him being a “master jokester” who enjoyed fun and teasing us kids to the maximum of our limits. But Jack was also an All-American handy-man, and could fix things everyone else thought unfixable. While talking on the phone to Jack’s wife and son … I found it interesting that they …

"under review" part 2

Last week was brutal in the NFL. Three games game down to the wire with questionable reviews and calls. I’d hate to think my eternity would need an instant replay because I lived in a way that blurs the boundaries of sanctification. Thank God, literally, that I don’t need to wait around while he reviews my life to see if I’m “good enough” to enter heaven.

Are you without sin???

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”? As a Christian man, father and husband….I like to think that I lead a “good and clean” life, but after hearing this verse this past Sunday on our Life Group at church, I realized that no matter how “good” I may think I am, I will always fall short in the eyes of God. This is something important I want to instill in my children…”always strive to do your best, but know in your heart you will always fall short in God’s eyes”. …

Happy Fathers Day

Sigmund Freud: I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection. Mark Twain: When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. Bill Cosby: If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right. Ephesians …
