Christ is risen! Have you heard about the outrage that’s all the rage nowadays? It’s called “cultural appropriation.” That’s where somebody uses the cherished cultural expressions of another culture. The recent dust up about a young lady wearing a Chinese dress to her prom when she wasn’t Chinese is an example. But what if it…

Christ is risen! Paul Tillich once said, “Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is one element of faith.” Interesting! Too many times, moments of doubt are used by the enemy of your soul to cause you to give up or hide in shame. But doubt has never been fatal if it's dealt with in wisdom and patience.…

Christ is risen! “They have to keep the rules, just like us!” Yeah, that’s true. We should all be held to the same standard. But wait a tick, have you kept the “rules” you expect others to keep? I know it’s hard to get your mind to shift from “what should be” to “what is,” but…

Christ is risen! "Vision" has been something of a buzz word in the Leadership Training manual for some time. Of course, these Leadership gurus get this foundational principle from the Holy Scriptures when King Solomon declared "Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."

Christ is risen! We live in the day and age where most people much prefer to see "gray" everywhere instead of "black and white." In fact, the very notion that there could be anything that was that clear, that uncomplicated, that cut and dry is a terrifying thought to most. After all, if there are…

Is Your Life “Crooked” or Straight” Or BOTH?

Christ is risen! Let's face it, ideas matter. And the reason they matter is because ideas have consequences. Ideas flow from a mindset, a way of looking at the world and organizing the multitude of stimuli we receive through our senses every day. So, when you have an idea or an attitude or an opinion,…

Christ is risen! It was exasperating! I tried to get my buddy's attention but he was too busy enjoying building a fire in the woods near our neighborhood where we were going to camp out for the night. Never mind that it was the dry part of summer. Never mind that there was a "burning…

Christ is risen! There's a great Country song from 1994 performed by Tim McGraw called "Don't Take the Girl" and it tells the story of how a young man's attitude toward the "fairer" sex changes as you get older. But the first part of the song as a young boy begging his dad not to take…

Christ is risen! I grew up in the volatile 1960's when the Civil Rights movement was really getting traction. I watched as a boy as marches and riots occurred around the country and our nation struggled with throwing off the scourge of racism. By the way, how is it possible that the pigmentation of someone's skin…
