Your mental script
Your mental script has been developing since the day you were born. It began with what your parents said to you. If your parents made comments that led you to believe you weren’t smart enough, cute enough, or good enough, those hurtful words and the emotions that accompanied them started setting the foundation for how […]

Praying first, praying often
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN presuming and assuming—but neither is very helpful when it comes to prayer. When we presume, we operate as if something has happened—when it may not have happened. When we assume, we take responsibility for making something happen. We must not presume God will work through us apart from prayer or […]

Who are you trying to please?
The second principle of stress management in the life of Christ is found in John 5:30: “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” The principle is this: Know whom you’re trying to please. […]

Unscripted conversations about Christ
ANN SAT DOWN ON THE BUS BESIDE a young woman dressed in black, all tatted up, with a pentagram necklace on a choker chain. Since Ann is one of those people others find easy to talk with, it wasn’t long before she learned her new friend was a lesbian, gothic, witch. Sidestepping the lesbian and […]

Want to live a life beyond amazing?
At two o’clock on Sunday afternoon, January 8, 2017, a giant fell to the earth, causing the ground to tremble like a palsied hand. One of the best-known giant sequoias, the Pioneer Cabin Tree, collapsed amid California storms. Pioneer Cabin, so named because its hollowed interior was big enough for a home, had pointed upward […]

What is it that you really want?
One evening my wife, Nancy, pulled me into our bedroom and said she wanted to talk. She closed the door so that none of the kids could hear, and she took out a list. I was not happy to see a list. She claims it was an index card, not a list. But it had […]

The Lord was with Joseph… What difference did it make?
Melanie Jasper says her son, Cooper, was born with a smile on his face. The dimple never left his cheek. He won the hearts of every person he knew: his three older sisters, parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends. He loved to laugh and love. His father, JJ, confessing partiality, calls him practically a perfect child. […]

What is your all-time favorite book?
What is your all-time favorite book? Mine just might be The Me I Want to Be, by John Ortberg. John Ortberg is arguably my favorite writer and I think this is his best book. I wish it had a different title. The title sounds a little light and fluffy to me and I think I […]

God’s Destiny for you
Joseph’s troubles started when his mouth did. He came to breakfast one morning, bubbling and blabbing in sickening detail about the images he had seen in his sleep: sheaves of wheat lying in a circle, all bundled up, ready for harvest. Each one tagged with the name of a different brother—Reuben, Gad, Levi, Zebulun, Judah […]
