Husbands, Love Your Wives
Please indulge me a few moments to expound on that scripture. You see, lately I’ve been reminded of that verse…”Husbands, love your wives”.
But those reminders have come from very public examples of men who failed miserably to live up to that command.Take the South Carolina governor for example. I’m sure his wife might be on the [...]
Honest Prayer
I’ll pray for you. My prayers are with you. We’ll keep you in our prayers. Recognize these statements? Have you ever been on the receiving end of these words of comfort? I’m sure at some point you’ve experienced some type of tragedy, pressure, difficulty, or frustration in your life that left you with no answers [...]
One Down
Quite a bit happens in the span of a year. We often find ourselves glancing backwards when we reach certain milestones to determine what type of progress we’ve made. Where were you last year? What was going on in your life at the end of July in 2008? When you glance at the path you [...]

A hamburger from the grill is good enough on its own, but when adorned with a summer ripened red, juicy tomato… say no more. There’s something about fruit that we can understand. If you’ve ever bitten into a seemingly [...]
The GodBox Preview
Christian Men are living a life that meanders back and forth between confidence and terror. We sporadically cross the center line where faith lives and we find peace with our journey if only for a short while. Every man I have talked to about faith just wants some type of life consistency so the rest [...]
Worship on the Court
I get some strange reactions from people when I tell them I worship on a basketball court. You see, several years ago our United Methodist Church went through some growing pains and then expanded. The traditional church building and formal sanctuary we attended for years downtown, gave birth to a large campus facility on the growing east side [...]
Clutter
Most of our lives are filled with clutter to the point that we lose grip of the things we hold closest to us. If you have a garage, I’m sure you know what I mean. Unless of course you are some type of neat freak that has to have everything in its place at all [...]
Smoke and Mirrors
The other night I was flipping through the unending number of channels on my television and came across the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz – I had to stop and watch. Dorothy and the crew had just survived the face to face encounter with the wicked witch and had returned to the Wizard to [...]
