Reality or Fantasy?

What really matters at the end of your life? It’s what really matters all through your life!   Fantasy: not understanding what is real and lasting, truly purposeful and fulfilling; believing the lies of the enemy about your life and the world’s future.   Reality: knowing the truth about God and yourself, about your community… Read more »

Are We Exercising?

Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”   My wife and I (before she had her aneurysm and stroke)… Read more »

Four Types of Leadership

In my studies of the Bible I find that there are 4 leader types. These leader types are still seen today as well in their results.   The first one I call “Saul leadership.” This type has the look, personality and ability to be a great leader, but has one flaw: fear of what people… Read more »
