Facing The Fire

Every Wednesday we’ll post something to do with doctrine and recovery. — Facing the Fire “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire ---” I Corinthians 3: 11-13 Any Christian feeling a call to service should get a good grasp on the parable of stewardship in Matthew 25:14-30. It describes a master commissioning his servants with differing amounts of money, then taking a Continue Reading

To Love, Honor and Heal

Every Tuesday we’ll be posting an article about restoring and strengthening marriages that have been damaged by sexual sin. Hope it’s helpful. — To Love, Honor and Heal “On the other hand we ask of our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted on us. So that love contains in it a contradiction, the attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past.” - from the film ‘Crimes and Misdemeanors’ Every so often the guys in Hollywood get it right. Even Woody Allen, a man Continue Reading

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Breathe Into Me And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from You And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me Breathe your life into me. I can feel You, I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me, I still need You --- Breathe into me - “Breathe into Me” by RED I’m Continue Reading

Digested But Untested

Every Wednesday we’ll post something to do with doctrine and recovery. Hope it helps. — Digested But Untested “Believers think of themselves as individuals first, Americans second, and Christians third. Until that prioritization is rearranged, the Church will continue to lose influence, and biblical principles will represent simply one more option among the numerous worldviews that Americans may choose from." - George Barna “Prove all things; hold fast what is good.” - I Thessalonians 5: 21 Ask a roomful of Continue Reading

Have We Learned?

I see a lot of conservative salivating over the scandals plaguing President Obama, and indeed, it looks grim for the man who ran on a hope ticket and promised unprecedented transparency. The possibility of deliberate cover-ups or misinformation regarding Benghazi, the IRS targeting of conservatives, and federal snooping of select AP journalists, all put an undeniable cloud over this White House, and each day seems to promise more rain. The specter of Watergate is already being invoked by talking heads, not all of whom tilt Continue Reading

The Minimalist

Remind him that you’re his partner and want the best for him, your marriage and your family.

Every Tuesday we post something about strengthening or rebuilding marriages. Hope it helps. — The Minimalist “Men do not differ much about what things they call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.” - G. K. Chesterton Over the years I’ve seen too many Christian husbands in my office who’ve perfected the art of minimizing. I’ll begin by asking, “OK, what brought you here?” Some actual responses I’ve gotten: “I sometimes find myself using Continue Reading

Thinking it Through

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Thinking it Through Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Philippians 4:8 We’re largely where we are today because of the decisions we’ve made. Not completely, I know, because plenty of things Continue Reading

About Jason Collins, Homosexuality and Christianity

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — About Jason Collins, Homosexuality and Christianity Two weeks ago I posted about a then-unknown pro athlete who was shortly going to “come out” and declare his homosexuality. Yesterday NBA pro Jason Collins ended the suspense by announcing not only that he was the one, but that he’s also, in his own words, someone who “takes the teachings of Jesus seriously.” So this is how I’d respond to him if given the Continue Reading

The Madness of “Mine”

Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — The Madness of “Mine” I was driving in the front seat trying really hard to be the driver Thinking that I was making real good time But always winding up a late arriver But now I’ve been riding in the back seat and I find it is a very great relief Now I’m trying out the back seat And I’m leaving all the driving to The Chief. - “Front Seat Back Seat” by Chuck Girard and Tom Coomes” That was a popular Christian song when I Continue Reading
