The Church and Men

Mike | February 12, 2009

As you may be able to tell, I’m reading through the book of Revelation.  I’ve never read it all the way through before, so I thought I would.  I’ve read the letters to the seven churches before, even taught some lessons on them in early in my teaching “career.”  This morning it was the letter [...]

Peace

Mike | May 6, 2008

In John 14:27 Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.”
I’m pretty sure I’m a worrier by nature. I worry about finances, the ministry, my job, and getting stuff done. I always worry about being late, the future, and past mistakes. And wondering about whether what I do is [...]

Life Changes

Mike | March 4, 2008

I suppose I’m a pretty good source for life change. My life has taken so many turns it looks like the switchback roads of Arkansas. I grew up moving every two to three years. I changed friends like a high school guys changes clothes. I’ve changed careers many times. You [...]

For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; [...]

Mike | March 12, 2007

Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While he was eating,a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard. She broke open the jar and poured the perfume over his head. – Mark 14:3 (NLT)

A House Divided

Mike | January 16, 2007

I was reading Matthew 12 this morning and I ran across this quote from Jesus and thought how it applied to men -
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” – v. 25
Did you get that? While Jesus was addressing the Pharisees’ accusation [...]
