Be a man among them.

  • Why you need an air fryer.

    Let’s face it. Cooking isn’t always the most fun thing in the world. It gets considerably better when you do it with someone else, or for someone else.  However, if you’re just a single dude, cooking is probably one of the furthest things from your mind.  I get it. I’m there. Back when I lived…

  • Don’t pick a useless major.

    In my list of Top 50 things I’d change if I Were President, there have been many action items that have come and gone. Over the years there have been many policy points and agenda items that I have grown out of.  When I was 6, I wanted everyone to have access to free ice…

  • Emerods and mice.

    Read 1 Samuel 6:1-21 1And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months. 2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place. 3 And they said, If ye send away the…

  • When the Brook Dries Up.

    I came across this thought while preparing for a different sermon a while back. I just kind of stuck a pin in it and said, “Whenever you’re ready Lord”  The thought has since blossomed into a few thoughts, and I’ve written them down here. Let’s look at a sermon I wrote entitled “When the Brook…

  • Why you should start running.

    I’m pretty sure at one time cavemen sat around fires and argued about what was more important: cardio or weightlifting. Can’t you just hear the conversation in your head? Picture it. Two hairy men, Meathead and Zippy, holding mutton sticks, deep in the throes of passionate conversation one night out by the fire… Meathead: “Dude,…

  • Don’t prop up your idols.

    Read 1 Samuel 5:1-12 1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. 2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen…

  • Why you need to memorize Scripture.

    If you were to sit in any preaching service, or a Sunday School, at some point you would inevitably hear about the importance of Scripture.   It is essential that we take time each day to reflect on and read the Word of God.  I heard this truth for years before I started taking real…

  • Am I Enough?

    On May 28, 2023, the Lord enrolled me in a new class.  It was a class I’d never taken before, and I wasn’t sure if I even had the proper prereqs, but He put me in it anyway. It was a “make-or-break-it” class.  It was the kind of class where you go in and figure…

  • 3 reasons you should make a budget today.

    At the time of this writing, my YNAB account shows my Age of Money is 106 days.  That means I’m spending the dollars I made over 3 months ago.  How did I get to this point?  What were the steps I took?  In this post, we’re going to look at some of the things you…

  • How to know how to counsel.

    You will never excel in building relationships if you don’t understand the idea of counseling.  I am a Christian, and this is a Christian blog, so naturally we will look at the idea of counseling in its purest and most natural form, the Biblical way.  Stick with me though, because there is PLENTY of practical…
