  • A Vision for Us

    A Vision for Us

    There are many ways to live life. At least this is what we are taught. We begin life as newborns with our entire lives ahead of us. As we grow into children, we are taught that all of life is about obedience, primarily obedience to our parents. A successful life means honoring them well. Into…

  • The Christian Family: a people of giving, not of taking

    The Christian Family: a people of giving, not of taking

    Together, in our minds, let’s go out to eat. One of my favorite restaurants is Chili’s. So, we walk into Chili’s and we are seated. We basically have the whole restaurant to ourselves. There are plenty of servers cleaning tables and talking with one another and they all saw us come in. After all, we…

  • The Christian Family: a people of heart, not outward appearance

    The Christian Family: a people of heart, not outward appearance

    The last time we were together, we started Paul’s letter to Philemon. Here’s what we discovered: All those people who are in Christ are coworkers and siblings There is only one Christian body and our local churches are a part of that body. Because of this, we resolve not to condemn one another but, instead,…

  • The Christian Family: a people of revival, not condemnation

    The Christian Family: a people of revival, not condemnation

                      Why do people not attend church? For what reasons do believers not partake in the Christian fellowship? The Malphurs Group, which is a church consultation firm, offered 15 reasons that should cause us to think:[1] THEIR FAITH IS STRONG, BUT THEY FEEL THE CHURCH IS NOT MEETING THEIR NEEDS. THEY ARE TIRED OF THE…

  • I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing anything…

    I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing anything…

    I often think about where I am and wonder how I got here from the small town of Elgin, Oklahoma. I think about my humble beginnings and my awkward transition into adulthood. I think about the fact that I was one of the greatest introverts you would ever meet: I mean I hated being around…

  • I’m Ready To Move On!! Senioritis in life.

    Dissatisfaction defines many of our lives. We are dissatisfied with where we are. We desire to be in the next stage of our lives. Youth want to be adults and try to rush into it (I know I did). Seniors in high school get senioritis because they yearn for graduation day and desire to be…

  • Will God Bless Me As I Pursue My Dreams?

    Over the last week, we’ve been thinking together about what it takes to be a leader in this world. We remember that God will call us to leadership (and by leadership we mean a commander of a group, organization or country) or He will not call us to specific leadership. Our goal in this life…

  • How Can I Know If God Is Calling Me To Leadership?

    When we started Joshua, we discovered a little about leadership in God’s kingdom on this earth. I wrote about the fact that God will make some people leaders or influencers in this world and He will not make others leaders specifically. We might remember that leaders and non-leaders (according to this world’s definition) have equal…

  • Should I Even Try to be a Leader?

    I want to begin by making a confession. In the past I have been much too concerned with gaining influence and not concerned enough with simply serving people. I feel as though this is an experience that doesn’t belong to me alone, but to most young people. We are raised by our culture to be…

  • The love I have for my wife: I would give all this up only to be with her

    People see a whole lot of me. From the books that I’ve had published to the times when I get to speak publically to even my constant writing. What I fear people don’t often realize is that I have a team of people behind me making everything I do publically possible. I will name some…
