I read an article recently entitled "Restoring our Identity". It was especially timely considering the recent shooting in Minneapolis. "The Catholic School Shooter" further exposed the tragic reality behind transgender lies. Satan has carefully and craftily created an identity crisis in our world, but our nation in particular seems to be suffering terribly from this deception. Scripture informs us in Romans 1 that [...]

Happy September 1! Continuing from last week: Humankind was created on purpose for His purposes. We have been called to a life of wonderful and satisfying works (2 Timothy 1:9). God says that we are created for a life of eternal value in which everything we do is to have purpose higher than our own comfort and relaxation. [...]

Over ten years ago the Men of Intention ministry was launched with a singular purpose: Live each day with the INTENTION to be a man of God. In his second letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul wrote: "God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose [...]

My bride and I went camping the last two weekends with our granddaughter. She is half way through her third year on this planet, and these were her first times away from her folks overnight. They live in their own space on our property so we see her every day but have been really looking forward [...]

n Mark 12 we have an incredible opportunity to listen in as Jesus is confronted by a gaggle of Pharisees and Herodians who were "sent" to entrap Him into making false statements, thereby discrediting Him and His authority to teach. He answered a wide variety of questions with divine wisdom, and they found themselves confounded as they expected [...]

Over the last several weeks we have been discussing what it means to love others like He loves us. Following the command from Jesus found in John 13:34, we learned four aspects of defining this kind of love: Character; Source; Standard; and Expression. While unpacking these we learned that "this love" is sacrificial, selfless, and forgiving. It [...]

In John 13:34 the Church is given a "new commandment that we love one another" in the same way that Jesus loves us; i.e. unconditionally. In so doing, all of our relationships benefit as we provide encouragement, live harmoniously, forgive wrongs, and experience that peace that passes all understanding. Obedience always = blessings in His economy. A biblical definition of this kind [...]

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you" (John 13:34). INTENTIONAL men of God know that this is difficult to say the least. But also know that when God gives a command, He also provides whatever we need to obey it. In the context of John 13, the late Charles [...]

Would you agree that there is almost nothing more stressful than a strained relationship? My wife and I have been walking through life with a younger couple for several months. They are both quick to show love and kindness to others but are challenged to do so with one another. Like all couples with busy jobs and more than a few children, [...]
