    Looking Into the Moral Mirror

    Has anyone ever questioned your integrity? Integrity means being the same on the inside as on the outside. Our daily life – our attitude, behavior and thoughts – should match our prayer life.

    Never Knew a Father's Love

    Talk to Strangers: God Puts People in Our Path for a Purpose

    Is it just me, or do you agree that something valuable has been lost now that a huge portion of human communication is so impersonal? Are we forgetting how to relate to one another the old-school way: face to face and person to person?

  • God's Love Trumps Family Trauma

    God's Love Trumps Family Trauma

    I know a guy named David who has a mega complex family. In fact, it is so complex he feels the need to draw you a picture – a literal family tree – to show you his lineage.

  • Be Prepared to Help an 'Officer Down'

    Be Prepared to Help an 'Officer Down'

    Yes, it's an occupational hazard – an accepted risk – that officers must tolerate as part of their work. But just think about the level of faith that's required to step out of your house every day and face the possibility of death at the hands of a stranger. The ability to cope and even thrive in a world of complete uncertainty is a gift and a calling.

  • On a Count of Three, Let Go!

    You don't have your own parachute to get you through life. Jesus is your parachute. Not only that. He's the pilot and the plane and the wind under the plane and the Creator of the sky and the earth and everything in between.
