You are going to find this strange, but … I don’t really like “people.” Individuals, as such, are okay, but not “people.” I like my wife and my favorite grandson. My other close relatives I “love,” especially in the sense that I don’t want harm to come to them, and I hope for the best…
Over the last 30 years, I have discipled or mentored many persons, male and female, Latinos, blacks and whites, young and old, Christians. Paul saw it as an obligation and an honor. He makes this clear in how he states the following verses. 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NASB) Be imitators of me, just as I also…
What an amazing feeling is to be able, at one point of our existence, to wonder about the purpose of our life. To ask our Creator why, if at all, we are occupying space in this awesome universe He created. At an early age of my life I confronted myself with what I thought was…

The truth the Bible teaches is not predicated on any one word or…
Galatians 5:1 – It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Imagine that you woke up in a world where magic was normal. As you went about your day you quickly realized that people were using magic as though it…
Romans 12:2 tells us that we need to not conform ourselves to the pattern of this world. It teaches us that we do that by transforming by the renewing of our minds. The battle for control of the person is in the mind. Every person follows a pattern. The pattern they follow began early in…
In chapter 2 of the book of Revelation, in the first seven verses, Jesus sends a message to the church at Ephesus. In this message, He makes one interesting statement, among the rest. (NASB, verse 2) “I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to…
IF YOU WANT THE SAME OLD THINGS TO KEEP HAPPENING TO YOU, THEN KEEP DOING THE SAME OLD THINGS. For things to continue the way they’ve always been, do nothing different. Change is not change until there has been change. Hoping for change will change nothing. Knowing the right thing to do, but not doing…
The following are many of the principles used in counseling. What should be obvious is that this list is not all-inclusive. Other principles used by other counselors may not have made this list. That only means that we did not have that principle, or were aware of it, to include it here. People Do The…
This is one of the most asked questions by new believers. Implied in the question is that someone other than yourself will have the answer which, on the contrary, you are the best one to provide.
