Anyone who thinks family worship is not a discipline has either not tried to be consistent with it for any length of time or they have never tried it and are merely romanticizing it. It is a discipline. It is hard at times. It can frustrate you to no end. There may be times you half-way consider bringing physical harm to one of your little disciples. 
Having said all of that, none of these are ...

There are some major, overarching themes in Ephesians that are fantastic and empowering when we take some time and examine them. I’m not going to examine them all in detail in this post, but we’ll take a look at a few of them.

In speaking to many men over the past few years I keep hearing a recurring theme. Guy after guy says something to the effect of, “I know I should be leading my home, I just don’t know what to do or where to start.” I give them a few ideas, share parts of my story and then wrap it up with “Just start doing something.”
So I decided I would pull back the curtain and let people know what it looks ...

What do we do with commands in the New Testament since we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone? Take Ephesians chapters 4 & 5 for example. They are chock full of commands and rules. If someone were to just pick up the Bible and flip to these two chapters and begin reading at chapter four, the Christian faith would sound very dogmatic and legalistic. Unfortunately that’s what a lot of teachers and pastors do. They ...

Hey guys, just a quick note about our upcoming Men’s Group. We typically meet every other week for about 4 months or so, take a month off and then start back again. This session we will be studying through the book of Ephesians. It is a good time of fellowship, accountability, study, & prayer.
The group is open to all men (married, single, young, old, etc.). We’d love to have you come by and hang out with us.
We’ll meet every other ...

Originally postsed in April of 2009 as “Having Productive Times With God”. I have made a few tweaks and reposted it for our Men’s Group that will start walking through the book of Ephesians soon.
We’ve all had times alone with God that we wish we could have remembered or applied to our lives better. And I am no different. Lately since I have ...

The “Audio Messages” page for this site was down for a couple of weeks while I did some updating and rearranging. That page is now back online and most (not all) the messages are back. I’ll keep working on it. 
“A Call To Pray” – message from Matt Chandler. This is one of the best messages I have heard on the ...

This section of Scripture has captivated me for some time now. I pray that it always does. This is the best news in human history! This passage shows God’s wonderful mercy and grace toward us, who were and are helpless. He is the great Rescuer.
This passage knocks in the head the notion that God is just a big cosmic meanie who only wants us to mess up so ...

The Advent season is a time for reflecting and focusing on the realities that are ours in Christ as a result of His first coming into human history as a man. It is easy in our culture to get wrapped up in all the hustle, noise, pageantry, and commercialism of it all. I know, I did it for years. That’s why I search every year for great resources that will help me, as a dad, keep my family focused on ...

In a previous post I talked about how dangerous it is to try to “find your calling” or “find God’s will for your life”. The main premiss being that God has already shown you His will for your life in His Word. The parts of His will for your life that He has hidden from you, He has hidden for a reason.
So, instead of trying to discern God’s will for your life, the question ...
