Study after study reveals the epidemic of loneliness in modern society. This is especially true of men. We men are lousy at friendship. Add on top of that the over sexualized intoxication of modern society and every close friendship is assumed to have a sexual component. Ridiculous! But relationships require...
Ralph Waldo Emerson once suggested that the greatest invention of humanity is friendship. But Emerson is mistaken. Friendship isn't man's invention. It is God's. No matter how hard we try to hide it, our hunger for intimacy, relationships, and communion always "spills" out of our hearts. That's why we hunger...
All of us come to moments in our lives that turn out to be crossroads in our future. Many times we can see these moments coming, like a marriage proposal, or that first purchase of a home, or a career advancement, some (maybe even many) of these moments sneak...
Greetings and Happy New Year. First off, let me say how grateful I am that so many have wondered where the audio devotional has gone. Even though we tried to telegraph this change starting back in September of this past year, it isn't surprising that some folks didn't know what...

Christ is born! And Happy New Year! There's no getting around this. The identity of Jesus Christ is the crux on which human history rests. He's either merely an itinerant Jewish rabbi that fell afoul of the Roman occupiers; a gifted religious teacher and philosopher and "ascended master"; a figment of...
Help Us Jump into 2020 strong! Most of us will never travel the world to share the message of Jesus Christ to others in foreign lands. In fact, statistics tell us that most Americans will only travel to 8 states in their lifetime, and some Americans will live and die...
Christ is born! No matter how long any of us live, there's something about the changing of the calendar that invites us to look at ourselves. Benjamin Franklin once said "Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better...
Christ is born! NASA released the largest picture ever taken. It's made up of 411 snapshots from the Hubble telescope of our nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The picture is 1.5 billion pixels and takes 4.3 gigs of disk space to load. It's big. But as large as the picture...
