Trusting God in Transition
Often in the Bible we read the phrase "And it came to pass" (in the classic KJV vernacular). Or, in more modern English translations it might be "And so it happened." What follows on the heels of this Bible phrase varies widely, from the most mundane to a whirwind of insane activity.
Making a Move
I am in the process of moving to a new state and a new ministry. I do not think many folks are actually following this blog, but for the few who are, I just wanted to say I plan to either get this blog back up and running soon, or perhaps begin a new one. Either way, I will let you faitfhul few know soon!
No Dead Atheists
One of the western world's most famous atheists, Christopher Hitchens, died this week. He is no longer an atheist, assuming we define it not in the strictest terms (against God), but in the common vernacular - "a non-believer in God's existence."
Parenting through a Tantrum

Daddies and Daughters

The Grand Design for Marriage
For several weeks now, we have been exploring what I have called "The Big Seven." These are the seven key issues that have great potential to either bless or curse a Christian marriage. I guess one might say they can be either the "Seven Deadly Sins" or the "Seven Life-Giving Blessings." I hope you have been reading these posts with your spouses or fiancees, discussing them, searching the Scriptures referenced, and perhaps even using the posts to instruct your children.
Generational Curses (Marriage Matters Post 8)
I believe in generational curses.
For the Love of Money (Marriage Matters Post 7)
My wife and I distinctly remember the time when we made a conscious decision to stop pursuing more money, more stuff, and a bigger and better lifestyle. God brought us to that point through a series of events at my work. At that time, about 8-9 years ago, I worked in materials management and made a real fine living. But promotions and pay raises never quite seemed to line up with what my boss was telling me I was worth to the company. After two years of logging 60+ hour weeks for the company, and pitiful pay raises, the Lord made it clear to me that chasing the American Dream was simply futile.
There's No Place Like Home (Marriage Matters Post 6)
In the previous post, we covered the first part of the gender roles dilemma. We turn our attention now to the latter half of the issue - the priority of the home.
Man and Woman, War and Peace (Marriage Matters Post 5)
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27).
