The Bible tells us, “He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest; he plans an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.  Then shall it be for a man to burn; for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yes, he kindles it and bakes bread; yea, he makes a god and worshippeth it; he makes it a graven image, and falls down thereto.  He burns part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eats flesh; he roasts roast, and is satisfied: yes, he...

A couple of summers ago at about 9:00 pm, I hooked into a monster shark from the shore.  It took me up and down the beach! I would reel it in to about 20 yards from the shore and then it would take off hundreds of yards from the shore.  After a while, it would come back in and I would think I had the shark landed. Then it would take off again a great distance from shore. It literally took me six hours to get this shark all the way in! When I first hooked the shark,...

Without knowing it, we begin to turn a good thing into a god thing.  We turn to it in time of need (instead of God) and ask it in essence to “deliver us”.  Let me explain further by sharing with you “Four Addiction Aspects”: We turn to something in time of anxietyWe try to get something from it that it does not have the ability to provideWe then turn to higher levels of it to gain the same experience (or high)Addiction occurs when you no longer have it…now it has you. The Bible tells us, “He heweth him down cedars, and taketh...

Everyone needs a hobby that can serve as a “mental getaway”. ..something they do that takes them away from the mental grind of everyday life.  Something peaceful and something safe. Like my hobby…shark fishing (I know, my wife thinks I have issues too)! I am aware this sounds funny but I thoroughly enjoy fishing for shark.  The bigger the better! Over the years, as I have pursued bigger and bigger sharks, my fishing equipment has had to grow as well.  Since most of my fishing is from the shore, I have to use a very sturdy pole, a huge...

Over the last couple of months we have been sharing with you how important it is to recognize people, places and points that are pivotal in our lives.  The Bible tells us, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:16).  Notice the word “time”.  This is the Greek word “Kairos” which means a “divine moment”.  Normally the Greek word for time is “chronos” which simply denotes general every day time.  However “Kairos” is a moment in time orchestrated by God that we must learn to recognize and take advantage of. About a year ago I was out on a...

We don’t always realize it, but we choose our choices and therefore inadvertently choose our consequences.  Consequences (good or bad) always accompany choices. The good news is if you don’t like your present circumstances, you are simply one Biblical choice away from improving your life (see Deuteronomy 30:19).  You are not a loser…you are a chooser! Over the last couple of months we have been sharing with you how important it is to recognize people, places and points that are pivotal in our lives.  Let’s review… “Three Realms of Recognition”: People (Matt. 13:44) 5 Points Pertaining to the Importance of People: Association gives you...
