Does God Give you the Desires of your Heart?

I believe Psalm 37:4 has been misrepresented by so many people. I hear people all the time who are trying to preach prosperity use this example. The verse says “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” And if that is all you read then that is the way it sounds. You would think that no matter your desire, God will grant that. He is in a … Continue reading

Dysfunctional Gods?

First I would like to point out that anything outside of the one true God is dysfunctional but for this article I want to talk about the 7 most common things that most people use as a God. See anything can become your God if you focus too much on it and less on God himself. 1) Money – This of course is the most common one that people think of. Money is a great … Continue reading

Writing a Book

Sandy and I have felt God leading us to write a book over the last few years. We have procrastinated on this. I am not sure why but we have decided to finally listen to God and write. I think a part of it had to do with what do we write about? We have at least 4-5 different book titles that have come to us. All are really great but which one do we … Continue reading

Are you compromising?

I see so many people in this day and time doing things that compromise their integrity who then try to justify it with some stupid excuse. There are no excuses when it comes to compromising because once you justify it one time then it becomes a little easier to justify it again and then again on bigger things. Compromising on your beliefs is the worst thing you can do. You can compromise in certain areas … Continue reading

Life Begins Just Outside of Your Comfort Zone (Pt 2)

Yesterday I talked about where Life begins. I felt a nudge to expand on this issue about the areas of life where the comfort zone can affect you. I guess I could have added the comfort zone to the Family Destroyers series as this is also a family destroyer. The first comfort zone I will talk about is being a passive parent. I am starting on this since today is Father’s Day. I thought it … Continue reading

Balancing 86,400 ticks today

The hardest part to life is finding that balance. We all try to balance God with work, family and fun. When we work 60 plus hours a week it throws that balance all out of shape. Sometimes we are going to have to sacrifice our career in order to keep balance in life with family. I talk about this a lot because I see this as a huge issue in our country. We are running … Continue reading

Family Destroyers Part 6 – Wrap Up

This has been a 6 day journey. WOW is all I can say to this. When I started out on Tuesday with the topic I had no idea where it was going. The article was called A family destroyer – Sexual Sin. Now we are wrapping this up at part 6. It was only going to be the one part but God nudged me through it all. I wasn’t even sure if I was going … Continue reading

Family Destroyers Part 5 – Attitude

As I was coming up with the parts to Family Destroyers, I almost left Attitude out. I really can’t believe I almost did that. Sandy said to me the other day are you doing one on Attitude? I said no but now I am. Thanks so much Sandy! So grateful that I have such an awesome wife. EVERYTHING you do stems from attitude. Attitude is the most important thing in life. As they say life … Continue reading

Family Destroyers Part 3 – TIME

When I started this series I had no idea it was going to be a series of blog posts on this subject. Family Destroyer was going to be about sexual sin but as I ended it that I realized that God was nudging to make this a series of things that cause families to be destroyed. This is why we are on Part 3 now. Part 1 was Sexual Sin, Part 2 was Love of … Continue reading

Family Destroyers Part 1 – Sexual Sin

I talk a lot about family because family is one of my biggest passions. I love to see marriages thrive not just survive. In this day and time there are so many marriages falling apart and a good bit of those have to do with some kind of sexual sin. It’s time for Christian men to stand up against sexual sin. Many are watching porn, flirting with others who aren’t their spouse, lusting after people … Continue reading
