Getting Older Every Day

Last year I celebrated my 70th birthday. I have much to be thankful for, and spiritually and emotionally, I feel as motivated and energetic as ever. But there is a reality that comes with these milestones that I do not celebrate: I am not the same person physically as I once was. Even two decades ago, in my “mid-life” years, youth had long passed me by. Aging is not just a bodily experience; it’s an intensely spiritual one with cultural relevance, and therefore, worthy...

Celebrating 50 Years Of Marriage

This past Sunday, August 22, Luella and I celebrated fifty years of marriage. Our five decades together have been rich and exciting. We have not experienced too many dull days. We love being with one another, and we love celebrating shared life. But our story isn’t one of marital success. If you could watch a video of our life, you would soon realize that we have not “arrived.” Love of self still gets in the way of love for God and one another. And when it does, our... Read More

Has Your Child Ever Tried To Kill You?

Parenting will be, by its nature, a challenge. We should be deeply optimistic about parenting and confident in God’s wise design for the family. However, that doesn’t mean we have to ignore reality. Sinful moms and dads raising rebellious boys and girls in a deeply broken world will be discouraging at times. Many of you have experienced unique parenting challenges and profound pain because of your children that I will never know. But I hope that none of you will ever live... Read More

I’ve Searched For Identity

I’ve searched for identity in my successes but my failures get in the way. I’ve looked for identity in my possessions but they age, break, and malfunction. I’ve sought identity in people but everyone is flawed somehow. I’ve searched for identity in ministry but the Spirit gets in the way. I’ve reached for identity in knowledge but I never know enough. I’ve gotten my identity from my strength but weakness took it away. I’ve taken... Read More

How Do You Respond To Loss?

Phil had it all. He was a leading executive at an influential engineering firm, getting paid handsomely after working his way up the corporate ladder. He was happily married, the father of three healthy children, and plugged into his local church. While scrolling the news on his phone one evening, Phil discovered his company was the defendant in a severe lawsuit resulting from one of their faulty designs. Phil’s executive status and previous achievements didn’t protect him; he... Read More

Adopted

She was little fragile needy utterly dependent. At the airport that morning a dear sweet lady handed her to us. She looked up bright but unknowing little grasp of the cataclysmic drama of love of this amazing moment. I looked down eyes filled with tears hands trembling as I held her close. There could not have been more love in my heart she was ours we were hers family forever she didn’t earn her way in she couldn’t dis-earn her way out. Our love would be far... Read More

What You'll Find Inside Your Bible

Last week I wrote that many Christians try to handle the Bible as if it were God’s great encyclopedia—a topical index of human problems and divine solutions. But you won’t get very far or deep with that strategy. Take marriage, for example. Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage is not found in the passages that explicitly discuss marriage. Using Scripture as an encyclopedia would probably cause you to miss these following passages which pertain to marriage: ... Read More

Your Bible Is Not An Encyclopedia

Many Christians try to handle the Bible as if it was God’s great encyclopedia—a topical index of human problems and divine solutions. If you go to Scripture looking for specific issues, you might not find it explicitly referenced between Genesis and Revelation. (For example, a midlife crisis, teenagers, social media, a global pandemic, and many others). Frustrated and discouraged, many of us look to other sources and choose only to use the Bible’s help when it speaks... Read More

Is Sex An Issue In Your Marriage?

Many Christian marriages are in the midst of some sexual struggle or dysfunction. Many husbands and wives in the church do not experience the beautiful, intimate sexual oneness that God designed. Many professing Christian married men are living a double or secretive life online. Many Christian married women allow their minds to fantasize. And sadly, like Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, many of these brothers and sisters in the faith live in fearful secrecy, silence, and shame. What about you?... Read More
