We are involved in relationships all the time, and sometimes it can get messy… at home, at school, the neighborhood and at work. I have read books about how to cope with difficult people but sometimes you just might need a little practical counsel on what to do when conflict arises at work. When facing […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Although everyone has three God-given inner needs (for love, significance, and security), God designed the husband to have a greater need for significance, while the wife is uniquely created with a deeper need for security. A crucial element in the marriage relationship is becoming aware of your partner’s desires and learning to meet them creatively. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There can be conflict in any relationship, and marriage is no exception. I discovered this video which accurately describes the source of conflict in marriage. Enjoy.
No one has it all together in their marriage. We are like pilgrims on a journey trying to figure out how to survive and thrive in this most important human relationship. The point is that God has called us to love our wives like Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25-26). The point is that it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve read that leaders pursue excellence. They lead their organizations, their families, their businesses, and their lives striving for their best. No one wants to settle for second best. Check out what was said about Jesus… They were completely amazed and said again and again, “Everything He does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthian church to help instruct the new church on what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

My Sunday School class has just finished the book of First Peter, which has a lot of great teaching.

The topic of Submission and the command for holy living may not be very popular these days, but this Sunday we will take a look at both, from 1 Peter 3:1-7. What have you admired about your grandparents’ marriage, or some other older couple? Think of someone who displays inner strength and beauty. What have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We are called to follow the example that Jesus set for us. I remember the classic book by Charles Sheldon called, “In His Steps” which describes how the Reverend Henry Maxwell and his congregation were forced to consider the question, “What would Jesus do?” and its consequences. No one in town was left untouched by […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I discovered a wealth of information from the leadership seminar notes of the Norfolk Area Baptist Association Minister’s Conference on May 13, 2010. This is pretty intriguing information about the relevance of the church in today’s culture. The Church in America is in desperate need of a new model for the local church. We currently […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
"The biggest deterrent to growth in most churches is lack of confidence in God's supernatural power to grow His church. We are obsessed with our own responsibility to find resources for growth. When our natural resources seem limited, our vision shrinks and we accept mediocrity. We can't grow the church, but God can! We don't have the resources, but He does! "

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." (Acts 20:24)
