    When Life Gets Hard, Take a Step

    February 24, 2022 / 0 Comments

    I think most of us would agree. The past two years haven’t been our best ones. Death and disease flood our newsfeeds. Disaster and destruction shock us far too frequently. Chaos and questions keep us unsettled. Just when we think life is returning to a normal pace, another unwelcomed surprise forces us to change course, adjust, delay. For someone who thrives on consistently, I often wonder where the routine has gone. But as I reflect over the past year, I see one main theme emerge in my life—take a step. For the first part of 2021 a black cloud seemed to hover over my existence. Fear kept me wondering what…

    Disruption: Thoughts on Life and Chaos

    June 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Recently I set a goal to keep the house in spic and span shape for five days straight.  Admittedly, this isn’t the most exciting thing one can do, but there’s something refreshing about having your surroundings in order….shirts hung neatly on their hangers, shoes in their rightful spot, junk mail sorted out and squared away.  It gives one a sense of orderliness, peacefulness, and, most importantly, control.  So, I set out last Sunday, spent a few hours getting rooms, bathrooms, and closets in top-notch shape, and determined to maintain my newfound tidiness for one week straight. And then life happened. My once-clean home is a far cry from its Sunday start.  And…

    The Blessing of Being Broke

    October 9, 2015 / Comments Off on The Blessing of Being Broke

    Leadership is broken because leaders are unbroken Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . You can’t be rich until you’re been bankrupt. You can’t be wealthy until you’re worthless. You can’t have God’s best until you’ve faced your worst. Bankruptcy is a sinister word. Job lost. Career crashed. Identity crushed. Prospects dim. Future bleak. Hope gone. Home about to go. Family tattered. To be broke is to be shattered, ashamed, devastated. Spiritual bankruptcy starts with the same feelings of failure, frustration and hopelessness, the same struggle. the same shame. We ask questions like, “How could I have done that?” or, “When will I be free?” We feel shackled…

    Offering the Gospel to This Generation

    June 17, 2015 / Comments Off on Offering the Gospel to This Generation

    Are high school students interested in the Gospel? They may not think they are, but underneath the outward façade when compelled to consider, the answer is YES!  After spending a week, as an adult guests, in the highly charged atmosphere of a Young Life camp in the mountains of Colorado – we saw firsthand the hard fought ground leaders had plowed for a year before bringing their group of kids to camp yield a positive response to the claims of Christ. Arriving on 7 different busses 450 high school students from 4 different states were saturated for a week in an atmosphere of fun, acceptance, laughter, being lead, music, lively…

    Job, Do not Despise the Wisdom of the Youth!

    June 2, 2014 / Comments Off on Job, Do not Despise the Wisdom of the Youth!

    With Job's three friends he was also angry, because they could not find an answer, and so declared Job guilty. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job, because the others were older than he was.  But when Elihu saw that the three men had no further reply, he became very angry.  So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up: "I am young, but you are elderly; that is why I was fearful, and afraid to explain to you what I know.  I said to myself, 'Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.' But it is a spirit in people, the breath of the Almighty, that makes them understand. (Job 32:3-8 NET)

    Job, With Friends Like These Who Needs Enemies?

    April 28, 2014 / Comments Off on Job, With Friends Like These Who Needs Enemies?

    When Job's three friends heard about all this calamity that had happened to him, each of them came from his own country– Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to come to show sympathy for him and to console him. But when they gazed intently from a distance but did not recognize him, they began to weep loudly. Each of them tore his robes, and they threw dust into the air over their heads. Then they sat down with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, yet no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was…

    Job, Suffering is Part of the Job

    January 6, 2014 / 2 Comments

    The purpose of this study is to understand the role of suffering in a Christian’s life.  We will be studying the classic case of suffering found in the Book of Job.  Realize, God describes the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10); therefore, we will be starting at the end of the story and working our way to the beginning.

    Broken Leadership – Why is Leadership Broken?

    October 1, 2013 / Comments Off on Broken Leadership – Why is Leadership Broken?

    Leadership is broken today. The evidence abounds all around us. *Leaders search for solutions only to discover bigger problems than ever. *Followers seek for leaders of integrity only to find pursuers of self-interest. *Organizations long for leaders who unify only to find controllers who divide. *Staff members hope for leaders who value them only to find ambitious men and women who use them. *Wives hope for strong men to lead them only to find passive men who avoid them. *Children crave fathers who will nurture them only to find selfish men who ignore them. Perhaps the greatest evidence of broken leadership in our world is the number of books that…
