March 14, 2023 – The Great Hunt
Over the years, I have tried to bridge the gap between hunters and non-hunters. I appreciate that some regard hunting as barbaric and that it has no relevance in modern civilization. But the fact remains that over 20 million Americans still consider hunting a...
July 27, 2021 – A Bad Rap
We hunters often get a “bad rap” because of our hobby. Many naively believe that the hunter is to blame for the dwindling populations of many threatened species in our world. On the surface, this may sound logical, but the truth is that the sportsmen have done a great deal to preserve and enhance fish and wildlife resources.
May 8, 2018 – Our Stuff
There are times we have a tight grip on our things. For some their stuff is so precious they won’t trust even their closest friends with it. When we recall the story of Abraham and Isaac we stand amazed at the fact that Abraham would seriously consider taking the life of his only son, for whom he waited 100 years.
October 24, 2017 – Standing Alone
Elijah just had a tremendous victory with God on Mount Carmel. It was there that the prophet used the power of God to help put down the gods of Baal. Elijah took a stand against 450 prophets of Baal and King Ahab and organized a “prophet duel” of sorts.
October 17, 2017 – Is God Trying to Get our Attention?
Today, we are experiencing more devastation and fear than I ever remember. Historic hurricanes ransack our coastal cities. Many earthquakes and tornados are reaching inland to destroy and damage hundreds of communities and lives.
September 19, 2017 – Let’s Pray for Unity
If ever there was a time when unity is needed in our faith, country, sports arenas, and families it is now! So many people I meet are discouraged and depressed about life in part because of the lack of unity. Democrats hate Republicans, Republicans detest the media, conservatives are in dispute with the liberals…
May 31, 2016-Love and Unity
Our Greatest Challenge – Unity Among His Faithful Often I have the privilege of visiting with various pastors and priests. One of the common challenges that these leaders face is developing unity among their members. This problem is not a new one. At the core of unity...
May 3, 2016-Ice Cream is Good for the Soul
“The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 Someone once said, “You are what you...
March 22, 2016-Jesus said, “It Is Finished!”
Jesus said, “It Is Finished!” John 19:30 Without a doubt the Easter season is a special time of the year. For most Christians the sacrifices our Savior made upon Calvary’s Cross is something that is not remembered in a single event but is constantly in our thoughts. ...
March 15, 2016-My Grace is Sufficient
One of the many privileges I have as a chaplain is to help those going through difficulties with the Word of God. Recently one of my board member’s best friend died. After sharing my condolences, the board member asked for any thoughts I could give him regarding the...
March 1, 2016-Intimacy With God
It is interesting to read the various books out today dealing with building a life of purpose and significance. My last book, Finishing Well – Finishing Strong, also attacked this subject but from a little different perspective. In researching Scripture for this book...
January 26, 2016-The Goodness of God
In my third book The Ultimate Hunt I delved into a study of what makes God – God. The more I studied the attributes of God the more I realized that with our finite minds we cannot begin to really understand the depth and breadth of the many qualities that create His...
