The Dangers of Dreaming

I wrote last week that it is impossible to be a human being created in God’s image and not dream. What exactly do I mean by a dream? Let’s use this definition: A dream is imagination coupled with desire and projected into the future. Imagination and the ability to cast vision for the future are beautiful and vital gifts from God. Isn’t it captivating to watch a young child create an entire world of make-believe out of nothing? To God be the glory for his creativity and... Read More

Forgive Me

Father forgive me I am a sinner in desperate need of your grace. Forgive me for the sins I name as less than sinful. Forgive me for hating the sin in others more than my own sin. Forgive me for every moment when I love what you name as evil. Forgive me for loving my pleasure more than I love you. Forgive me for those times when I complain to you more than praise you. Forgive me for those times when my talk is not shaped by a love for you and others. Forgive me for those moments... Read More

Are The Proverbs Always Accurate?

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1) The Bible tells us that harsh words create problems rather than solve them. I know you have experienced this in your life! Maybe it’s during a difficult but necessary conversation with your spouse at the end of a stressful day. You think you’re making progress, but they throw in a nasty comment. Your chest tightens, your body temperature rises, and your mind starts racing, searching for... Read More

Have We Misunderstood The Proverbs?

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (1:7) Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. (3:5) There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (14:12) Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (22:6) Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. (27:17) An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than... Read More

Reaping A Better Harvest

So far in our series about regret, we’ve examined three biblical approaches when dealing with guilt, shame, and remorse from previous decisions, words, and actions: 1. Enjoy the freedom of confession. 2. Embrace the gift of forgiveness. 3. Rest in the sovereignty of God’s timing. These are all actions that you can take today, tomorrow, and for every day that you experience regret. But what about a strategy for spiritual growth so that you have fewer regrets and... Read More

I Wish God Acted Earlier

It drove Erik crazy that, as a father of four children, he didn’t receive good parenting instruction until his kids were in their teens. Aaron and Robin wished they had known, in the first twenty years of their marriage, what they came to discover later. Olivia came to Christ much later in life and struggled with the legacy of her past. Jeremiah looks back with sadness, knowing that he inherited significant money before he was mature enough to steward it well. Each of these... Read More

No Regrets? Not Even One?

Have you seen the funny Internet picture of a young man with a misspelled tattoo below his neck? It ironically reads, “No Ragrets” (instead of No Regrets). I would certainly think he regrets at least a single letter from that decision! I don’t know about you, but “No Regrets” is certainly not my life credo. How many moments of my selfishness disrupted our marriage? How many times did my self-centered plan for parenting children get in the way of God’s... Read More

A World With No Regrets

Back in August, Luella and I celebrated 50 years of marriage. Imagine if, while out to dinner to celebrate the grace and generosity of God, I looked at my wife and said, “After all these years, all the places we’ve been, all the jobs I’ve had, and raising four kids, I don’t regret anything I’ve ever said or done.” It would be the world’s most absurd, delusional, self-righteous statement! But consider this: there was a time when there was no reason... Read More

Forgive Your Spouse (Or Anyone!)

You can find numerous studies on marriage providing evidence that money is the primary cause for distress or, ultimately, divorce. If you’ve been married for any time at all, I’m sure you can relate. Family finances are an essential topic, and when you have two people with different life stories, perspectives, and preferences, how you allocate that money can be a point of contention. You can also find data on how many households have at least some form of debt hanging over their... Read More
