What do you think they are—the four lies that ruined the world? Communism? Humanism? New-ageism (or a whole bunch more ism’s)? Evolution? In Genesis we find four lies bigger than all of these, and they came straight out of the mouth of Satan.
Read MoreOn our summer road trip, my daughter, sitting in the back seat, blurted out, "If I was the decision maker, all of these billboards we are passing would have cats on them." Most billboards advertise hotels, food, area attractions, and gas. When I asked my car full of kids which sign stood out the most, they had mixed reviews. One favorite read: "Hey, I'm working here!" Yet, this billboard was merely ...
Read MoreGod always enables us to do whatever He requires, yet there may be times when we’re afraid to obey Him because we don’t know what will happen as a result. Sometimes obedience is costly.
Read MoreMrs. Moses’s cookbook surely had a special section on “A Thousand-and-One Ways to Fix Manna.” Unless I miss my guess, she had tried them all . . . many times.

As we began to talk, I was able to share with him about the Lord — and overtime, see how Christ changed a man of anger and violence into a man of peace. It doesn’t matter where you come ...
Read MoreI recently read the parable of the sower in Mark chapter 4 from The Message Bible. Here is one thing that really encouraged me: It says the farmer plants the Word, and it fell on hard soil (hard heart), gravel (not grasping it fully), weeds (choking fear and worry) and finally good ground (accepts it and is transformed by it). You would think a farmer (God) would know better than to throw ...
Read MoreA Christian philosophy of boldness should include the believer’s rights. In fact, it would be incomplete without a list of believer’s rights. I used to teach that a believer has no rights…I was wrong.
