Can someone who’s not saved be “nice?” Can they do things that could be categorized as “good works?” Sure. At least from a human standpoint. But there’s more to a good work than the action itself. Take a look: Isaiah 64:6 says: All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our […]
Prior the war of 1812, President James Madison had instituted some policies that weren’t especially popular, but nevertheless appropriate. Britain had yet to respect the new nation as anything other than a collection of former colonies that needed to be disciplined. Napoleon’s war machine required Britain to respond with a Royal Navy that was nothing […]
In the Marines, we exercised as a platoon. You had a lean, mean and very impatient Drill Instructor up front dictating the exercise, the pace and the form. On every level, at every turn yozu had a standard to adhere to and it was both motivating and extremely challenging. “Loose Cannon Fitness” is a creative […]

In moments like these, it’s nice to have access to a Perspective and a Power that is infinite. Where we’re limited to the practical, God’s not limited at […]
If you’ve never had the privilege of delivering newspapers at 3:30 in the am, let me describe to you the joy and the fulfillment that one is treated to as part of this experience. Upright at 2:30 AM First of all, you need to be upright by 2:30 am, 2:45 at the latest. You’ve got […]
Keys. They can be the most exasperating little “jingle” in your pocket. They’re always there when you’re not looking for them, but woe to the person who’s in a hurry and can’t find them. A Bad Day Recently, I was having a bad day. Nothing especially dramatic, just a lot of little irritants subconsciously building […]
A Healthy Desire On one hand, you’ve got greed and a “love of money.” (1 Tim 6:10) On the other hand, you have a healthy desire to succeed (Josh 1:8) and prosper (1 Chron 4:10).
