Never Give Up
Posted on April 8
Never Give Up When life deals a person a tough hand to play, he can either fold, or decide to play that hand, and then prepare for the next hand. That’s a quick picture of the life of pro golfer, Gary Woodland. Woodland had a great golf career unfolding as a four-time PGA Tournament winner. Then he developed a brain lesion and in 2023 had brain surgery. Everybody told him that he couldn’t come back... more »

Look Who the King Meets
Posted on April 1
Look Who the King Meets A few years ago, a man received a letter from his state’s Department of Social Services. It read, “Your food stamps will be stopped effective immediately because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances.” It seems to be an absurd suggestion that a dead person might want to reapply. Everybody knows that when people die,... more »

Do You Have a Home in Heaven?
Posted on March 25
Do You Have a Home in Heaven? I overheard a conversation recently where a man asked a friend of his if he knew if he was going to Heaven when he died. The man thought for a minute and said “I hope so. I’ve been trying to do everything right and I think I have done more good than bad. I think I ought to make it.” The Bible is very clear that we don’t... more »

Commission or Omission
Posted on March 18
Commission or Omission Most churches have posted somewhere the Great Commission of Jesus to “go into the world and make disciples of all people baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) That’s God’s mission for the church. For many churches, it is the great omission rather than the great commission. Let me share how I understand it for the church today. It begins with “Jesus said.” That means... more »

6-7, or 10+ in 2026
Posted on March 11
6-7, or 10+ in 2026 Numbers are usually used to count something that is important or to give additional understanding to a situation. Numbers give information which in turn gives meaning. This past year, we saw the term 6-7 as one of the most used expressions, especially by young people. 6-7 really has no meaning. It is an expression that indicates “I don’t know and I don’t care.” It’s sad to see a generation that... more »

Life Lessons Learned from a National Championship—Lesson 3 Having the best players doesn’t mean that you will have the best team. Sometimes a school gets the ‘best players that money can buy,’ and they don’t win. I thought until just recently that the NIL emphasis would bring out just four or five teams that had the most money who would get the best players who would always be the best four or five teams. I’ve... more »
