What Causes the Holiday Blues?

The holiday season for most people is a fun time of the year filled with parties, celebrations, and social gatherings with family and friends. Yet, for many people, it is a time filled with sadness, self-reflection, loneliness, and anxiety. Sadness is a truly personal feeling. What makes one person feel sad may not affect another person.

The President’s Biggest Problem

In my senior year at Connersville High School, we had quite the overachieving class president. Joe was enthusiastic, likeable, and just seemed like he would do well in life beyond school. Similarly, my Senior class president at Baptist Bible College was an overachiever… Dennis, too seemed like he would be able to do anything when […]

How To Do the Will of God: Part 2

There is another motive even greater than the motive of fear. Another force at work in our lives has power to move us even when the fear of God leaves us unmoved. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:12-15: For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that […]

Is That My Phone Ringing?

With such an abundance of cell phones these days it is funny to watch folks in a room jump and scramble, and dig through their purses franticly saying, “Is that mine?” when a common ringer goes off.

The Perfect Will of God

How does one know God’s will for their life? His perfect will? Many Christians would say that they are “waiting for His will” or “in His will”, but unfortunately many times we only want to hear what we want to hear and we try to bend Him to our desires. As Christians, our focus should be: “Am I in the center of God’s will?”

Biblical Ways That God Leads Believers

In Deuteronomy chapter 32 verses 10-12, God gives a distinct parallel between the way He led Jacob through the desert and the way a mother eagle cares for her young and teaches them to fly. “He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about and instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them up on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.”

Her name was Foofer

Sheep

My father used to have a sheep by the name of Foofer. I suppose that’s how you would spell it. I don’t think we ever had opportunity to write it down. Of all the flock, Foofer was everyone’s favorite. She was always so gentle and easy to take care of. You could ride her and pet her and she was so much fun to be around. One unique thing about her was that when she had lambs she would have triplets. Three little black faced bundles of wool. She was certainly Dad’s most valuable member of the flock.

Where Are the Men?

Where are the men? We are not just imagining it, Christianity is short on men. Here are the facts. The typical U.S. congregation draws an adult crowd that’s 61% female, 39% male.

On any given Sunday there are 13 million more adult women than men in America’s churches. This Sunday almost 25 percent of married, churchgoing women will worship without their husbands. Midweek activities often draw 70 to 80 percent female participants. The majority of church employees are women (except for ordained clergy, who are still mostly male). As many as 90 percent of the boys who are being raised in church will abandon it by their 20th birthday. Many of these boys will never return. Most men in America believe in God but only two out of six attend church on a given Sunday. The average man accepts the reality of Jesus Christ, but fails to see any value in going to church must less making Him the Lord of their lives.
