I was looking for a fun and funny video to do a Good Clean Fun post. I came across this one, which is fun for me. I love what Jack Crabtree says about how we should read the Bible.
God's Way for Our Lives
Another Reason I Love God
I was humbled last night. I don’t know whether to make this post a family post because it had to do with my relationship with my kids or to make it about our individual spiritual lives because it taught me about my relationship with God. I’ll just tell you the story and let you draw your own conclusions.
The 5 Ways Monopoly is Too Much Like Our Lives
Last night I was privileged to hear a great sermon by Brian Anderson on “Proper Priority, Focus, and Perspective.” It was an excellent look at the rich fool of Luke 12:13-21. One of his illustrations was about life and Monopoly. I told him I had to steal it and share it.

Okay, okay, I wasn’t actually looking out my window. I was reading about a father who was in Proverbs 7:6-27. This father was trying to convince his son to be intimate friends with wisdom instead of an adulteress. In this chapter, he explains the 7 appeals of the seductress. While this is written from a father to a son, the same points can be made to a daughter about the 7 appeals of a seducer. [Read more…] about The 7 Appeals of a Seductress
