This Saturday is our “A Man and His Traps” event. It dawned on me that I had not mentioned to you an important detail for the day…make certain you bring your eye and ear protection. Of course this advice is appropriate s for all men who are INTENTIONAL about living their lives in such a way that glorifies our […]
I was reading a devotion this a.m. from Charles Stanley concerning how to experience Christ’s peace. His thoughts were taken from John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” […]
We were created in His image for His purposes. I wonder at times if we think His purposes are not in our best interests? If we choose to follow our preferences instead of living in obedience we will out on His incredible plan for our lives. Every day we must choose one or the other. […]
We’ve all heard those jokes about men who refuse to stop and ask for directions. In reality, there’s probably a bit of truth to this stereotype, but it isn’t limited to males. Plenty of men and women in this world zoom along without showing down to ask for guidance. If you were to look at […]
Hanging above a door in our home is a plaque that reads, “When life gets to hard to stand…kneel.” Every time I pass through that door I am reminded that prayer changes things. Its funny how often I have seen similar words on comparable plaques over the years in other homes. God made men for […]

Included in the Man of the Household job description is the “Handling of Difficult Circumstances” deal. Men of God in particular must embrace this challenge in the manner that our Lord intended. It is an INTENTIONAL process really. The Apostle Paul understood how to handle tough circumstances. Imprisoned and awaiting his fate at the hands […]
God is always at work in our lives. He is INTENTIONAL about that. Let’s just face it…most of us need work…so I am glad He is about the task. Unfortunately, God seems to do some of His best work on us during seasons of adversity. Scripture tells us that our God is a jealous God […]
Have you ever found yourself wondering if your God is larger than your circumstances. Does your faith ever waver? Silly question right! I know that we all have crisis of doubt. We ask ourselves if God is really in control or if He means what He says; however, the next time you find yourself doubting […]
I was on a pontoon boat lake last week. The boat had no anchor. When I found a nice cove, the engine was shut off and the boat was allowed to drift. I noticed that I needed to constantly be mindful of the “drifting” as hazards were abundant. There is this passage in 2 Peter […]
