Do you enjoy being around generous people? I do. And, I bet you do. There’s just a joy being around that kind of person. That’s why the Bible says in Proverbs 19:6, “Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.” Now, we could take…
One of the joys I have this year is helping to coach the Lamar PeeWee football team. It’s a great bunch of 10-12-year-old boys. I work with the offensive and defensive lineman. Last week, the day after we had played a game, the coaches decided to just let the boys have some fun on the…
A lot of people, especially young people, have dreams and aspirations to be famous one day. Some of them are rather ambitious and concoct a plan to climb to the top of whatever they are pursuing. They plot and scheme and claw their way to where they want to go and don’t really care who…
I’m kind of a gameshow junkie, and one of my favorites over the years has been “Family Feud.” That show is a lot of fun! Each round begins with a face-off where a person from each family walks up to the table with buzzers. The host reads the question, and the first person to hit…
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it, and they are safe. I love that song! Did you know that it comes straight from the Bible, Proverbs 18:10? Doesn’t the Bible make for the best worship lyrics? I love singing God’s words back to Him. Beloved, our God is…

We’ve all had that moment when we’ve been in a group and wanted to look really smart and wise. And so, we decided to show just how smart and wise we are by opening our mouths and speaking. But, to our great dismay, we instead looked really dumb and foolish. That’s the chance we take…
We live in an amazing time where there are so many ways to effectively treat sickness and disease. Where our ancestors kind of just had some home remedies and some hope as they toughed out what ailed them, we can go right away to see a physician to get a medication or a procedure that…
We live in such a strange day when everything politically seems to have been flipped on its head. There’s no real pursuit of right or wrong anymore. There’s only the raw pursuit of power. And whatever it takes to get your party into power, that’s what you do. That’s what you push, even if it…
One of the toughest things in life is having to deal with a fool. It’s no fun at all. In fact, it can be dangerous even. Proverbs 17:12 says, “Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly.” Listen, there aren’t many things in this world more…
