Fins to the Left

Fins to the left, fins to the right.

Sitting at a Dana Point beach the other day with my friend, I was annoyed by the buzzing of a helicopter overhead. Eventually, I was cognizant enough to think 'why in the world doesn't that helicopter go on its way?' Finding the answer required walking further onto the beach to see what…

He Knows Best

Heb 12:6,7. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

God wants us to follow him because he knows what's best for us. He doesn't give his commands make our lives tough but because he loves us, He knows what can hurt us. When we get off track, God disciplines us Like a loving father, he uses discipline to…

Everyday is Father's Day !

There is no other relationship that stirs so much connection than that of having and knowing a father. He is the icon for every child that is born into the world no matter the origin, social or economic status. He is to be the example. Now, there are some pretty bad fathers out…

My Out of Body Experience

My out of body experience.

Remember the other day I said I had a sort of out of body experience? And when it was over, it had caught me so off guard, I had to ask the people sitting near me what had preceded it. It was wild.

Here's what happened at the closing meeting of the pastors' conference at the Billy Graham Center at the Cove in Asheville, North Carolina last weekend:

Greenery, Gutsy Faith, and Gus.

In retrospect, it was kind of like an out of body experience.

I had to ask the people near me to help me reconstruct how it came to be.

But first, I must set the scene, which was unusual right out of the gate.

This past weekend I travelled to Asheville, North Carolina, for a pastors' conference at the Billy Graham Center at the Cove - a place I have often longed to…

Joyful under troubles

Christianity teaches men to be joyful under troubles: such exercises are sent from God's love; and trials in the way of duty will brighten our graces now, and our crown at last. Let us take care, in times of trial, that patience, and not passion, is set to work in us: whatever is said or done, let patience have the saying and doing of it. When the work of patience is complete, it will furnish all that is necessary for our Christian race and warfare. We should not pray so much for the removal…

Here's how it all started . . .

‘O, if only I could have been a fly on the wall ...

If only I had been there to hear what was said, how it went down ...’

Perhaps you have heard or uttered the words yourself, wishing you could have witnessed some meaningful exchange. In this case, I was fortunate enough to be there and hear it all, and I didn’t have to resemble a fly!

The scene was a company conference room; the attendees included three of my corporate brothers, one of whom was brand new to our Bible study…
