There have been many times in the past, and some times not too recent, that I have gone to do a workout or gone to karate class and just totally forgot to stretch. Sometimes I have stretched, but not adequately enough. If you understand the importance of stretching, you know how bad that is. When […]
Christian Life
The Atrophy of Faith
Years ago, I was swimming in the ocean, having fun with my friends, and enjoying my summer in Florida. All that fun came crashing down with a single wave. This was a very special wave, though. It possibly had a rock, or a giant fish, or maybe a devil in it. Then again, maybe it […]
Is God Concerned With Our Material Needs?
Does God care about your material needs? Or is he only concerned about spiritual things? Some Christians believe God could care less about His people when it comes to the material world.

And that many times is wrapped up in your feelings. […]

If I told you that I needed you to wait at a certain (safe) location where nothing was going on and nothing was happening, but if you did, I would reward you with $100, what would you say? What would you do? What if I increased the amount to $1,000? How much would it take […]
