John 12

Do you have plans for Father’s Day on Sunday?

"Be a man." Three words that have gotten a lot of guys in trouble. Too many of us have done too many dumb things to prove what a "man" we were. But it seems more confusing than ever to know what that even means. Being a man.

Is it changing diapers and watching Hallmark movies? Or increasing your bench press and wearing camos? Is it conquest or compassion? Tenderness or toughness? Is it hiding your feelings or feeling your feelings? "Toxic masculinity" at one pole, passive manhood at the other.

Life turns every person upside down. No one escapes unscathed. Not the woman who discovers her husband is having an affair. Not the businessman whose investments are embezzled by a crooked colleague. Not the pastor who feels his faith shaken by questions of suffering and fear. We’d be foolish to think we’re invulnerable. But we’d be just as foolish to think that evil wins the day. The Bible vibrates with the steady drumbeat of faith. God recycles evil into righteousness.

When your tax dollars are denied to Planned Parenthood, good things happen.  President Trump froze Title Nine tax funds and the abortion dominos began to fall.  The abortion industry saw the House pass legislation ending their tax funding if the Senate agrees.  Planned Parenthood North Central States is closing four abortion referral centers in Minnesota.  And three abortion referral centers in Iowa, plus the state’s only abortion center.  The abortion giant is laying off sixty-six staff and offering an additional thirty-seven reassignment.  If taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood ends we’ll witness the collapse of their nationwide infrastructure.  Because mos...

He speaks to you with loving words. He knows your deepest dreams. The suitor I'm talking about is God, and His love for you exceeds anything imaginable.

They’re known as the “lukewarm” church. Jesus warned them that unless they turned back to him, he would spit them out of his mouth.

Man, when I see my grown children eat now, it surprises me they ever needed help! But they did. And, of course, they're doing great now all by themselves. But there was a time when they had to be fed. And then I watched that with my grandchildren. See, sometimes - especially the very little ones - they need help, especially when they have this big piece of meat or chicken placed in front of them.

You can’t control the weather. You aren’t in charge of the economy. You can’t un-wreck the car. But you can map out a strategy. Remember, God is in this crisis.

Ask God to give you two or three steps you can take today. Seek counsel from someone who’s faced a similar challenge. Ask friends to pray. Most importantly, make a plan. You’d prefer a miracle for your crisis? You’d rather see the stormy sea turned glassy calm in a finger snap? God may do this. Then again...

Delaware became the twelfth state or territory to legalize assisted suicide.  The effort of endorsed suicide is a metastasized cancer.  States feverishly work to combat veteran suicides while making it a sacred right.  Our brave veterans have targets painted on their backs.  France looks like the latest country to legalize euthanasia. The parameters of those who qualify are vaguely written, but it doesn’t really matter.  One of the French right to die campaigners said, “It’s a foot in the door, which will be important for what comes next.”  This is a textbook approach to these bills.  Every state or countr...
