    “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” (Psalm 33:20 [ESV]) As you prepare for your upcoming military deployment or that of your spouse, you need to put in the forefront of your mind who God is. There is something about times like the ones that lie ahead that will…

  • Books that Have Shaped Me: Productivity and Rest

    Do you ever have this nagging feeling that you should be doing more? Do you ever have this nagging feeling that you’re doing too much? If you answered “yes” to both of those questions, you and I are dear friends. You are not alone. I have been on a journey of learning true productivity and…

  • Books that Have Shaped Me: Books about the Bible

    The most important book I have read is the Bible. The next most important books I have read are the ones that have helped me read and understand the Bible better. What the Bible says about the Bible. We first have to realize what the Bible says about itself. It may surprise you how much…

  • Books that Have Shaped Me: the Bible

    God wrote a book. Technically, a book of books- a small library. The Apostle Paul wrote to his younger protege, Timothy, that “all scripture is breathed out by God…” (2 Tim. 3:16 [ESV]). The 66 book protestant Bible is the God-breathed book. God did not breathe out a television series or a YouTube video- He…

    Have you ever started something that you were really excited about? It was your idea! It was going to be great! You ran into it with the exuberance of a kid running to the presents under the tree on Christmas morning. And then you stopped… At some point the excitement of the new thing wore…

  • Bible Reading: Even More Important for the Military?

    Hopefully you have a Bible reading Plan that you’re working through and are having regular time alone with the Lord. But for those of you in the military, or the immediate family member of a service member, have you considered the added importance of this important discipline? Having served for 10 years on active duty…

  • How Do I Have a ‘Quiet Time’ Anyway?

    If you’ve been hanging around Christians for a little while, hopefully you have heard them talking about ‘having a quiet time’ or something similar. A quiet time is simply a time where you get alone with God and His Word. The three necessary components are: 1) Get alone, 2) Read the Bible, and 3) Pray.…

  • Bible reading plans for where you are

    Start this year off right: regularly read the Bible for yourself. You know that you need to… Perhaps you have tried before… Maybe you don’t know where to start. I’d like to help! One of the first things you will need is a plan. Similar to having a plan when you walk into the gym,…
