"Broken Dreams As children bring their broken toys With tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God Because He was my friend. But then instead of leaving Him In peace to work alone I hung around and tried to help With ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back

"We are not to be dazzled, as many people are, by the person, gifts or office of teachers in the church. They may come to us with great dignity, authority and scholarship. They may be bishops or archbishops, university professors or even the pope himself. But if they bring a gospel other than the

Like a horse has to be saddle broke to submit to the rider, you have to be broken before God, admitting that you are powerless to bring down your Jericho. Being good doesn’t make it happen, it’s God’s battle, but being submitted will. The fact is, we need an army to do it and God has one. A

Our youngest daughter, Kimberly, had only been married a year when she told us, “I don’t know why people say the first year is so hard. All you have to do is be nice to each other.” We laughed, of course, because … after all … they were still just newlyweds. But really, what she said is true.

SALT-CRAVING
Salt creates thirst. Try eating just one Ruffles potato chip. You cannot eat just one chip. They are salty which creates a thirst for more. When people look at our lives here do they thirst more for the living Jesus?
Chuck Swindoll says an appropriate grave marker for many might be

When Dawn and I were in Kenya, it was an interesting thing. For about 2 hours every day, the local deep well near an oasis would be pumped into cisterns all around the area. It was often difficult to get the local people to allow the cisterns to fill before they turned on hoses to water the trees.

INTELLIGENCE ISN'T ALWAYS SMART
A French nuclear submarine and an English nuclear submarine ran into each other without knowing it this week. Clearly, having modern technology and intelligence does not mean you are smart. You would think with all the technology and intelligence in the world, our

I wonder to what extent God is telling his disciples that when we want greatness and recognition we need to walk the road of service because it gets our feet on the ground to what really matters about life and what really matters to Him. The road of service removes the vain desires for glory and

In the fourth century, Cyril of Jerusalem tells catechumens what to do as they receive Holy Communion. We should make a throne of our two hands, laying the right hand upon the left to form a throne for the King. Try it right now. You are forming a cross, the cross that becomes a throne for the

BEHIND THE BACK CONFLICT
We say one thing to people’s faces and then another behind their backs. Sometimes it seems easier and not worth the conflict. I remember being asked by a boss about my opinion concerning a fellow employee. I really felt that the boss needed to do his job better in training

60 FOR 60
I have a suggestion: Try 60 for 60. Say that with me, "60 for 60." For sixty days, set your watch or whatever device to softly chime at the top of the hour, and let that be a reminder to say a quick prayer. It might even give you the chance to tell others what you are doing. Every sixty

Pray “in the name of Jesus.” It is not a catchy phrase we attach to our prayers, that somehow validates what we have to say. It is recognition that what I have prayed about and prayed for is with the same spirit and heart that Jesus himself would have prayed; that my focus is not self-centered or

A Leader Is…
Peter Drucker, perhaps the most noted authority on leadership in the 20th century, says:
A leader is one who has followers. An effective leader is not someone who is loved or admired. He is someone whose followers do the right thing. Popularity is not leadership, results are. Leaders
