Behind Every Door
Some who read this will know that my family and I lived in Dexter, Missouri for eleven years. During those eleven years it was my privilege to preach for the church of Christ there, it was also my honor to work with one of the finest men I have ever known. Dale Grissom’s office was right next to mine. He didn’t spend much time there, though. He would take care of what he thought was necessary there and then “hit the road.” He was not taking off to play golf, go shopping, etc. He was off to do what a true shepherd of God’s people needed to do. Dale was supported by the church…

7 Ways to Protect Your Marriage
This Friday, Leah and I will celebrate our 21st anniversary. That number does not make us experts by any stretch of the imagination. We have our struggles and we’ve even got mad at each other a few times. (Shocking, I know!) I dare say there have been times when we may not have liked each other all that much, but we have always loved each other. When we pray together, one of the things I always try to pray is that we will “protect our marriage.” In my private prayers, I pray that regularly, as well. To me, those words mean more than just “help us stay together” or even…

Why We All Go (Why Our Whole Family Goes to FHU and PTP)
Last week, our little family of four enjoyed the Freed-Hardeman Bible lectures. We have been blessed to attend as a family since our oldest was less than a year old. (She thought it was great that she is 14, but that this was her 15th lectureship!) In a few months, Lord willing, all four of us will head to Sevierville, Tennessee for Polishing the Pulpit. Again, we have been blessed to attend this event for about a decade as a family. In between, there will be Lads to Leaders, at least one youth rally, and several other events we will attend as a family. But I want to go back…

You Are Not Replaceable
Let’s be honest: in many areas of life, you can be replaced. That’s not to say that someone else is just like you, but it is to say that many of our roles in life will eventually be filled by someone else. Don’t believe me? Just quit your job and see if they don’t hire someone else. Even Oscar Meyer’s weinermobile driver can be replaced. In fact, they are currently searching for a new “hotdogger” to drive the famous car all over the place. Know that we are replaceable can be depressing. It certainly is a shot to our ego; that’s for sure. But there are other areas of life–in…
