• Armor of God (part 1 belt of truth and breastplate of righteousness)

  September 7, 2015 No Comment

  I have read and prayed over the Eph 6 passages referring to the Armor of the Lord for as long as I have been a believer. I have also met many fellow believers who get up each morning and physically or mentally go through the “motions” of putting on each item in this list as […]

• Be a power-tool for God in your marriage.

  August 22, 2015 No Comment

  Ephesians 5 is a great treatise on living in the light of God’s truth (Eph 5:1-14), living by God’s Spirit (Eph 5:15-20), and how this looks when lived out in marriage (Eph 5:21-31) One of the most quoted verses (by men wishing to either humble or control their wives) is Eph 5:22. Yes, it really […]

  Have you ever been stuck in construction. A line of cars, brake lights lit up as far as the eye can see crawling along at 5 miles per hour along an equally long line of orange cones preventing you from legally driving in a perfectly empty lane in which you could quickly accelerate to 65 […]

• If I Have All “Stuff” but not Love…

  August 2, 2015 No Comment

  I am Nothing!  Let’s back up a bit and get a running start into this one, shall we ? Ask a guy holding a toddler in his arms who is looking at a baseball hit straight in his direction: “which is more important, the kid or catching the ball?” He will likely reply “is there […]

• Go Chapter 11

  July 18, 2015 No Comment

  In today’s failing economy it’s tempting to go Chapter 11. In fact, the worse things get the more important it is to go to chapter 11; Hebrews chapter 11 that is … the Apostle Paul, writer of the book of Hebrews, get’s to the eleventh chapter of this letter and lays out what we call […]

• Husbands loving their wives …

  July 6, 2015 No Comment

  Brother to Brother. Gentlemen, I write this as a reminder (perhaps not so gentle but since men often miss the subtleties in life) of what our creator has in mind when He joins man and woman in the blessing of marriage. God did not just create you, and He did not just create your wife, […]

• The Spiritual Gift we all agree we all have …

  June 7, 2015 No Comment

  It doesn’t take long (after starting to hang out among christians) that one begins to hear about “Spiritual Gifts” or “Gifts of the Holy Spirit”. Quite simply put, and at the risk of oversimplifying, consider these enablements from God to better serve the Body of Christ (the group of humans who have become believers and […]

• Learning to be Faithful

  May 10, 2015 No Comment

  I have decided to stir up a topic that should touch the heart of every single reader (not to mention any children they may have as well). In Matthew 25 we find a parable regarding three men entrusted with money belonging to their master commonly known as the parable of the talents.   Matt. 25:14-28 […]

This often requiring starting with a small amount of the offending matter, say an allergen or even a poison, and slowly increasing the dose until a tolerance or immunity is developed. This is the manner by which desensitization to something […]
