July 18, 2023 – No Wasted Time

Many men I know struggle with priorities and balance. As they measure their passion for success considering God’s Word, they begin to question their perspective. Some highly successful business leaders have shared with me their personal stories about the price they...

November 29, 2022 – The Wrong Crowd

We become like those with whom we spend time. The character, attitudes, actions, and beliefs of those we associate with rub off on us. And likewise we must be careful to maintain our character and integrity when we’re with others. We want others to follow our example as we follow Christ’s example.

August 17, 2021 – Who Gets the Credit?

When I see a football player do his “touchdown dance,” pound his chest, and point to himself after a touchdown, I must wonder. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’m the only one who accomplished this task! I’m the greatest!” Too often our ego gets in the way of recognizing who gave us the opportunity to succeed.

May 4, 2021 – A Man After God’s Heart

I thoroughly enjoyed all my fishing and hunting adventures with my good friend, Jeff Klippenes. Born and raised in the backwoods of Northern Minnesota, he has a wealth of outdoor experience that adds to the excitement of every outing. One of my favorite memories of Jeff begins with his decision to purchase a consignment boat from me.

I have enjoyed the pleasure that came from several friends and mentors in my life who were in their later years. Most churches and Christian ministries today could not continue without the totality of the dedication and determination of these senior committed Christians sharing their gifts and talents.

June 30, 2020 – Take a Stand

Nowadays, we face many social and peer pressures to conform and be compliant. People tell us “not to rock the boat,” but to trust political leaders and media sources that try to intimidate us. It is noteworthy when someone stands up for their faith and convictions, others gain confidence to join with us, for courage is contagious.

January 14, 2020 – “Are You Jesus?”

That’s our destiny and our charge, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life, and grace… If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk, and act as He would. Knowing Him is so much more than simply quoting scripture and going to church. It’s living the Word as life unfolds day to day.

Many people are on a quest to find what the world defines as “success” and “personal happiness.” Our culture provides countless models of wealthy, famous, well-dressed people who project that if we can just become like them, we’ll be happy. But what Hollywood and professional sports often project as “winners” are really unhappy and unfulfilled people.

Too often we get caught up in feeling that we need more education, more study, more teaching, more, more, more. When Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, He was giving them a lesson in being the servant of servants. He didn’t tell them what to do; He showed...

September 28, 2015 – Moses

Looking back on the blessings God has given our family and ministry during the past few decades, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness to another group almost 3,500 years ago. Under the leadership of Moses, God had directed the Israelites to endure many hardships...

“If we endure, we will also reign with Him”  – 2 Timothy 2:12 For the Oakland Raiders and their fans this has been a very tough year. I had the privilege of being with them in Seattle recently when they played the Seahawks. I reminded the guys during chapel that...
