Jesus came into the darkness. And He didn’t come as a king or warrior or prince. He didn’t come to the big city, the palaces, or the triumphal places. No!  He comes to the forgotten places. He comes to the abandoned places. He shines His light into the darkest and most forgotten places.  It is…

G.I. Joe: “Let’s Realize Things Are Bad, But I Have a Rescue Plan…” I don’t know any men who grew up wanting a Barbie doll.  Men want to grow up to be Gallant.  Whether it’s the Woody the Cowboy, He-Man, Luke Skywalker, Six Million Dollar Man, G.I. Joe, Clint Eastwood or Captain Jim West. We…

Deep within the human heart is a desire for a Gallant Gratitude.   A gratitude that is so strong, it can stand up to and face the problems in life.   A gratitude that transcends circumstances.  A gratefulness that can celebrate the good… and sustain us through the bad. We are annoyed by lack of gratitude in…

My son and I are entering a new phase. He’s in seventh grade now. This past week I took him out with an older man in the church to learn how to safely shoot a real gun. In a world of Halo and first person shooting games, boys need men to teach them honor, respect,…

Yet, it is relatively unknown by most Americans and operates behind a curtain like the “Great and Powerful…

This used to be common sense. The benefits of free markets and smaller governments benefit everyone: Democrats, Republicans, Business, Unions, etc.  When freedom is the priority and the rule of law is kept, there can be freedom and justice for all.  This cartoon showed the common sense belief all Americans had in living in a…

Do you ever notice that we are often so busy working “In it” that we don’t work on it?  We are so busy running our department and keeping our jobs and heads above water, we don’t have or make the time to step back, slow down and work on it. The tyranny of the urgent…

Jehoshaphat ruled over a kingdom of Judah looking to make them stronger.   He began by teaching the people to play strong and celebrate who God is. He taught them to Study God’s Law. He taught to Hear God’s Will vs Their Own will in a painful story of bickering WWF type prophet fights two weeks…

Prayer is powerful. Prayer is key to success. God hears the prayers of the hurting, the troubled, and those at the end of their rope. Prayer is also used as an excuse. Magical thinking. A way to blame God for not coming through after we’ve painted ourselves into a corner. As a pastor, I have…
