I always root for the old guy, especially one like Phil Mickelson whose self-discipline bought him to success. So . . . why do we exercise spiritual self-discipline? That’s what I’m thinking about today.

I loved the first popovers I’ve ever tried. But I don’t think they make a good model for our faith.

Living for God is a daily challenge, accompanied by blessings new every morning. How have our posts this week helped you day-by-day? Which of them means most to you as you begin a new week?

When we see even the basic attributes of Christianity lived out among us, we always notice. Love. Serve. Remembering a life that showed us how.

If I were to acknowledge all who have made my leadership possible, it would be a very long list, indeed!

Paul dealt with the problem centuries ago as he wrote to the ancient church in Corinth. And, sadly, we’re still dealing with it today, even in the church we know.

Rest was good for King David, and it’s good for us. But then he let his rest settle into self-indulgence, and his problems became worse than ever.

400 years of silence preceded John the Baptist’s call to repent. And now, after another 400 years of silence about racial injustice in our great country, we have some repenting to do, too.

This is the third day I’ve been thinking about how we can please God even though we’re not perfect. The Bible hero David gives us much to consider on this score.

On a weekend for remembering, here are reminders of our posts this week. Which one will you share with a friend?

It’s good to remember our national heroes. It’s important to remember that Jesus is so much more than a hero.

There’s much we can do while waiting to experience the depth of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God. But these strategies do not form a checklist that will produce or provide the results you want and on the schedule you have in mind.

God is faithful. He’ll always help. But often his answers to our prayers will come in ways we never would have expected.

Shipwreck was inevitable. Death seemed certain. Hope was gone. And then God told Paul what would happen next.

Even before the pandemic, each of us was faced with situations we just couldn’t control. In such moments, especially for the leader, focusing on mission is vital.

Everyone gets in a tight spot sooner or later. Two Bible examples give insight into how to cope.

What’s happening in your life because of the way you’ve been responding to God’s Word? Maybe thoughts in this week’s posts can keep you moving forward.

Let’s think about more than the fact of change. Let’s allow the pandemic to help us think about the idea of change.

I’ll take the prayer of Jesus over the prayer of Jabez. I’ve learned some things about prayer from Paul, too.

We all have a decision to make about our present circumstances and our next steps. It’s all about our focus and our faith.
