The other day when I was looking at the menu in a restaurant, the server walked by with a tray of food for the next table.  As she approached, I could see a little smoke coming off the tray she was holding. I could hear the sizzle of the meat and started to smell the aroma of the food.  It smelled …

This week I would like to speak about a enemy that every Christian faces. The enemy that I’m speaking about is “SELF”. You might say, “hold on a minute there, brother Bob”, What about Satan? True Satan is a huge adversary. Satan can tempt you by putting the thoughts of sin in your head, but we justify it and then …

This week I would like to talk about the cost of being a believer and follower of Christ. The cost of discipleship. Some people think that the day they were saved, everything is going to come up roses. But in reality… we just entered into a battle with a very powerful adversary… Satan. He’s going to try everything to destroy …

Today I want to talk a little bit about adoption. In today’s world, there is a lot of children that need homes. Our heart strings are often pulled when we see the homeless and starving children of 3rd World Nations. Even our superstars today are adopting children from other countries. It’s kind of an “in” thing to do for the …

Have you ever been delayed? I think we all have been delayed at one time or another. A few years ago, I was returning home after spending a week at our corporate headquarters. Needless to say, I was very anxious to get home. We all boarded the airplane when the pilot made an announcement due to weather conditions at my …

This week I would like to talk about our identity. Today, in our society, there seems to be an identity crisis. Our government tells us that we should accept a person by what they identify as. Still there seems to be some confusion, in a recent congressional hearing, a congress person was asked the definition of a female. They couldn’t …

“Who is Jesus of Nazareth?” As we go into the Easter holiday month, I would like to look at This question. I think most of us have heard of Him. Jaroslav Pelikan wrote, “Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of Western culture for almost 20 centuries.” Jesus historical significance is indisputable. Many religions recognize Jesus. …

It’s hard to believe that the month of February is almost gone. It seems like the year just started. Well, we at least have an extra day in February this year.  Today I would like to talk a little bit about listening. In our busy lives we often find ourselves so busy we don’t hear what is going on. I’ve …

Wow, this is the last day of January. This year is going by really fast.  This week, I would like to talk about “cherry picking” the Bible. “Cherry picking” refers to the act of selectively choosing and interpreting biblical verses or passages to support one’s own beliefs, while disregarding or omitting others that may challenge or contradict those beliefs. This …

  This week I would like to talk a little about our Christian lifestyle. What do others see when they look at your life? Do they see the spirit of God clearly… or maybe it’s a little tarnish… or it may have a lot of rust on it. Every Christian will have some wear and tear on our life due …
