I see so many people pitching so many things from weight loss to making money that it isn’t even funny but I don’t hear many of them talk about God much. They preach that money will change your life or losing all that weight will change your life but in reality only God can change your life because he changes your heart. On the outside, it is only temporary but on the inside is where … Continue reading
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
God taught me a powerful lesson today. One of my goals this year was to not talk about politics. I really get into it and needed a break from it. I am talking about a yearly break. You could call it a sabbatical from politics so to speak. Well I was sitting out in the car at Walmart waiting on Sandy to grab a few things when I saw a friend of mine. I waved … Continue reading
We just watched an episode of Dr. Phil and it was about the labeling of people. As we watched the show it really hit me hard as I look at some of the things I have thought in the past. WOW, I truly have labeled people without even realizing it and the crazy part is I do NOT like to be labeled. Don’t we all kind of do this? No matter who you are you … Continue reading

There are many to choose from out there and next year there will be one more to choose from. Next year, my wife and I will host a marriage retreat in the fall up in the Smoky Mountains Area. In 2014, we will … Continue reading
Do you realize that marriage is two broken people coming together. When two people marry, there will never be two whole perfect people coming together. Christ was the only person who could claim that so when you are looking for someone to marry, you should not be finding the perfect person but the person who is perfect for you. I am not one of these people who believe in soul-mates. That is one of the … Continue reading
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
Addictions attack most families. No one is prone to addictions. It really doesn’t matter what the addiction, it can and will destroy your family eventually. You have to get these under control if you have any hope of your family lasting for the long haul. Addictions come in all forms and sizes. Most people think of addictions as alcohol and drugs but there are many silent addictions. For instance there is money, adrenalin, selfishness, exercising, … Continue reading
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
What a lot of people don’t realize is that when you serve Christ, it comes at a price. You are going to be called all kinds of names, you will lose some friends if you are walking in Christ. If you are lukewarm you may not lose your friends because being average doesn’t make people uncomfortable. By you staying lukewarm you make others feel better since they too are probably lukewarm. It’s when you turn … Continue reading
