10/17/20 Do You Really Need God?
OK. Your job is going quite well. Your marriage is as good as any of your friends’ marriages. Your children may not be serving the Lord with all their hearts; but they’re basically honorable, and anyway there’s plenty of time for that to change. In fact, things could be classified as satisfactory. You really don’t […]

10/16/20 Distractions
Nations rising and falling, threats of economies crashing, terrorist threats world-wide, reprobate thinking abounding, Christian persecution being given a more prominent platform, and many more disruptions fend for their place in our minds on a daily basis. Any thinking believer can see that the world is changing at a rapid pace. Formulas that used to […]

10/15/20 The Proper Tools
Remember Tim (The Tool Man) Taylor? His love for tools and the power they gave him became a continual source of entertainment throughout the run of his television show. Tools were everything to him. Even though his ideas were “slightly” over the top, his love for tools struck a chord with every man who watched […]

10/14/20 Your Basic Need
Do you know that every human has been built to highly honor something? The enemy has camouflaged that basic need by distorting it in the minds of those who submit to him. He crafts that need into a desire to cherish relationships, personal comfort, vanity, money, fame, or a myriad of other lusts of the […]

10/13/20 Insane Rebellion
Let’s see. The God of the universe invites the first man and woman into His presence. He vows to take care of all their needs, have intimate communication with them, and promises to be their loving Father. He further allows them to live in a paradise beyond beautiful with Him. To all of this, they […]

10/12/20 Is It Joy?
Any task we are given can either be a work of love or considered just one more thing we have to do. When our lives are full – meaning that we are consumed with the business of life – one more thing added to it seems monumental. Going deeper with the Lord can be like […]

10/10/20 For One Another
Is your family for one another? I don’t mean, do they tolerate one another; I mean, are they interested in protecting the interests of the other before their own interests? Are you an example of being for your wife? Is she safe in the understanding that you will make decisions concerning her for her best […]

10/09/20 Determined to Take the Time
With all the demands that are on us as husbands and fathers, the idea of changing our focus to pursue holiness as our priority goal seems impossible. Without a holy heart, however – one that is totally dedicated to making the Lord and His priorities our priorities – there is little hope of overcoming the […]

10/08/20 Be Holy
If the picture you have in your mind of someone who is holy includes a halo, a Caspar Milquetoast demeanor, and a mentality that flees at the onset of any conflict, you are way off. A holy man of God is a mighty warrior for the kingdom of God, his marriage, and his family. To […]

10/07/20 Old Habits
“Sarah, that’s my daughter,” Barry responded. “Well, Sarah was on a road to some pretty dark places. Somehow she had changed. When she was young, she was an incredibly bright, beautiful girl, full of smiles, love, laughter, just a good kid.” Barry shifted his position and leaned back on the bleacher above the one on […]

10/06/20 Why Prepare?
I once wrote a story about a foolish trainee who attended school for jungle warfare. In his ignorance, this unwise person slept through tactical training courses, joked his way through hand-to-hand combat rehearsals, thought nothing of the importance of parachute packing; and dismissed survival school as something needed for a later date since things were […]

10/05/20 Unlimited Power
One of the reasons the enemy attempts to destroy the offices of husband and father is to eliminate a powerful threat to his plans. He understands that there are no offices closer to the heart of God and no institution more loved by Him than the family. Far more significant than being a simple breadwinner, […]
