Worship God with your brain as well as heart
I know that I have written this before, but fall is my favorite time of year. Or maybe it's the spring. It is certainly between those two, and for a variety of reasons. I love the weather during these times: Not too hot, not too cold, just right. I can walk outside, play golf, throw a ball to my dogs or attend a sporting event, and I neither shiver or sweat excessively. Indeed, the weather ...
Spiritual training is needed for tomorrow’s leaders
Parents spend thousands of dollars every year on their children's future. Most parents are interested in seeing their children well-prepared to go out into the world. If they are interested in sports, parents make sure they learn the games and are given every opportunity to excel. Parents want the best education for their children, helping them prepare and choose the right college for their field. This is the way it ought to be, for our ...

God helps us with the big choices
I enjoy reading and writing. I have a good time writing this column. I try to make it "folksy" - that is, to share with you real life experiences and see how we can find God at work in the midst of those experiences.
How to the find the answers to life’s questions
Man, it seems, always has had questions about something since the beginning of time. Some have sailed the oceans searching for new lands just to answer the question, "What is out there?" Others have searched the world over to find the answers to the questions of life. Today, men still seek for answers to questions of life, death and purpose. The Bible tells of one who searched for answers to his inquiries. The man was ...
Forgiveness means making Jesus your Lord
For many in the Christian world, Jesus is just their savior. They can tell of a time when they walked an aisle at a church, repeated a sinner's prayer or simply were baptized at some time in their life for or in recognition of sins forgiven. Some even think that because they believe that Jesus existed, or that they acknowledge that he was a great teacher or prophet, this will guarantee a free trip to ...
Communication is key with God
A few months back, I finally broke down and entered the 21st century - I bought a "smartphone."

God can help you finish strong
Larry is retiring this year. He has plans to hunt, fish and spend more time with his sons. He has been a very productive worker. Some say he is one of the best ever at his job. To be honest, he has continued to be quite productive in this, his last year. Some have asked him if he really wants to retire. He has been adamant that the time has come.
We must trust and have faith in the Lord
We are taught in God's word that faith is necessary to be pleasing to God. "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).
Judge by heart, not by appearance
While sitting in the waiting room the other day at the hospital, I noticed a mural on the back wall that depicted different sites of Savannah. Right in the middle, towards the bottom of one of the scenes, was a shadow of three people shopping.
Practice patience and kindness
In his well-known chapter on love, Paul lists positive and negative character traits of love. Today, I want to compare and contrast four of those.

Heed wise words of the Master
