In the third chapter he ran with God, but in the fourth chapter he ran ahead of God. Jonah was a ...read more

    The danger of looking to external “signs” to guide you into God’s will. So how do you know if God is leading you?

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention. But sometimes lines spoken in movies jump off the screen and into the dictionary and become part of the way we think and speak – and inform us about ourselves and our attitudes. In the movie ...read more

    Don’t let your “sacred cows” keep you from experiencing all that God has for you.

    When you were a kid, didn’t you hate it when your parents said "no" to something – and when you asked "why?" they just replied: "because I said so." "Well, who died and made you God?" you thought, but never dared utter. As a parent I have tried to always give a reason – however lame it might be – ...read more
