This week’s bad church sign of the week states: “NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS SMOKING OR ON-SMOKING” I can’t stand signs that laugh at the fact that people are going to hell. Read Ezek. 33:11 for clarity to see that God does not either: 11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I …
Through this sermon series at church, there are more questions asked then we are able to answer. There are so many possible situations with homes, there is no way to possibly address them all?

Date Night was great. We talked about having a “Controlled Calendar.” Amanda and I had a great time over dinner talking about how to schedule our priorities. Even if you couldn’t come, if your schedule is out of control, what have you done to ensure that you have time to nurture your marriage?
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 10: The Budget: Besides food and lodging, there are plenty of other spending temptations. Maybe you have the honest desire to dress like the most popular students on campus. You don’t want to drive your mom’s minivan when other students are driving sports cars. With the click of a “Buy” …
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 9: The Influencers: I have formulated a couple of tests to determine if I have gotten callused. You know you have become callused when a friend asks you how a movie was, and you have to reply, “It wasn’t that bad. It only had a few cuss words in it.” …
Here’s a snippet from Chapter 8: The Outreach: That episode in college made me realize something: casual Christianity causes casualties.

If you are going to believe the Bible and hold that there is no way to …
