Years ago I was at a Promise Keepers Pastor’s Conference – It was a great conference. I went with pastor friend of mine and to save some cash we went in together on renting a car and a hotel room. So we booked all of this months in advance believing everything would be ready for us when w arrived.

I remember stealing a bag of lollies from a shopping centre as a kid. I would have done it again and again, except the guilt of that act stayed with me for years. I regretted being so dishonest. All of us have broken the 10 commandments in our lives. In fact the NT

While pastoring a Southern Baptist church in Texas, one day I heard that one of our church members was in the hospital after being bitten by a brown recluse spider. It was a pretty serious situation. The doctor had told the young mom that they may have to amputate her hand if the swelling did not

I saw it again this last summer - the small cathedral in Bethlehem that marks the birthplace of the Savior. Behind a high altar in the church is a cave, a little cavern lit by silver lamps. There are two entries for pilgrims. One is through the main church, allowing you to admire the grandeur of

While pastoring a church in north Louisiana I was helping a friend with a problem he had with a car. He was a mechanic by trade and profession. His wife made the best biscuits you ever put in your mouth. Having stopped at the right time several times before I knew when she set them on the table. He

Gary Farmer was not open to the gospel. I would share little things with him, but most of all, Rick and I would just shower him with kindness and try to live Jesus to him.
His mother got sick and passed away. She was a good Christian lady, and Gary knew that there was only one way he would ever

As a pastor I try to be creative in teaching my deacons how to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in us, but i am not the most tidy leader. One of my deacons was trying to invite a man to our church to experience Jesus. The man refuse saying that he didn’t have much to do with

I remember when our children were small, and Marlys and I would set them in a high chair and feed them. OK, Marlys more than me.
If they did not want to eat, you could put all the food in their mouth you wanted, but they would spit it out. Also, if we tried to feed them something they did not want,

I knelt to pray when day was done,
And prayed, "Lord, bless everyone;
Lift from each heart the pain,
And let the sick be well again."
And then I woke again one day,
And carelessly went on my way;
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not

I was working with some particularly complex lab equipment last week, and it was not doing what I needed it to do. After I got it working, I realized that the words I was muttering under my breath as I struggled with it were not songs of thanksgiving. I won’t quote myself. But I am reminded by
