“I’m finding it hard to squeeze some quiet time with God into my daily schedule.”  Grrr, if I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say the previous statement, I’d put all that money in a bag and whack them over the head with it. Let me just simply say that if you [...]

(Our Hideout) Glad to be back after about an eight day break. The Morgan family spent Christmas in the snowy mountains away from phones, responsibility and the fast paced life I’m used too. We spent an entire week doing nothing but drinking cocoa, playing games and eating (and I feel no guilt). It was great [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Psalm 57 this week. And let me tell you why … I have a confession to make, occasionally I get really tired, really tired. I’m talking tired emotionally, physically and yes, spiritually. Sometimes I get this way because Satan has been pounding on me. Other times it’s [...]

1 Peter 2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” What a great picture for those whiny Christians, who are in every church in America. They wear their spiritual feelings on their sleeves and [...]

This morning as I was looking at my blog I noticed I’ve got multiple articles or “posts” started, but I’ve never finished them. They have been sitting around for a long time waiting to be finished. Here are a few of their titles …. What happens after you die? I have a dream (about the [...]

I’ve matured. Believe it or not, I really have matured. You can even ask Lea if I’ve matured (Okay, maybe it wouldn’t be best to ask Lea). But, I really feel that I have matured over the last 20 years in my marriage, as a person and as a Christian. What really excites me is [...]

A long time ago someone handed me an index card that said “Don’t just pray, pray dangerously.” I’ve always been curious about how to pray dangerously, because so many of my prayers are “me” centered. I sometimes present my prayers to God like they are a Christmas list, “Lord, here are the things I want.” [...]

I wasn’t trying to hurt his feelings when I told him that reading his bible must not be that important to him. He had just told me that he wasn’t finding any time in his daily schedule to read his bible. I told him I didn’t want to sound preachy, but if he wasn’t reading [...]

Things that live, must grow. If a baby doesn’t grow we take it to the doctor to see what’s wrong with it. If a farmer plants seeds that don’t grow they are fertilized to stimulate growth because you must grow to live. How about spiritually? The Bible says you are supposed to be growing up [...]

Here is a quick question for you to think about today. Is there such a thing as “Christian Maintenance?” Do we maintain our Christianity? Notice I didn’t say “maintain our salvation” because I know I don’t maintain my salvation … God does. But what about maintaining my spiritual growth? I preached this past Sunday about [...]

I love good preaching. I say “good” preaching because there is definitely a difference between just preaching and good preaching. And when it comes to really good preaching, I’m never without a good sermon or two on my mp3 player. When I have some quiet time or when I go running I’m often listening to [...]
