When Worship and the World Collide
It happens constantly. In our hyper-busy world, there are so many things pressing for our time and attention. It used to be that worship times were pretty much free from other activities, such as school events or civic meetings. That is, simply put, no longer the case. So, what are we to do when worship and the world’s schedule collide? I can’t answer that for you, but I can tell you what I did as a kid and what we have decided as a family. Worship wins. When I was in high school, I was in the band. For a small-town band member, I was a fairly good trombone player.…

Rules for Children in Worship
Taking kids into the assembly can be a very daunting experience. With children now ages 18, 15 and 12, we have done our share of time in the pew. I should mention that the entire burden has been mostly upon my wife and that she gets all the credit for raising three children who (mostly) pay attention and engage andriol in worshiping God. I am thankful for her diligent work with our kids. This article is meant to encourage young families who have children who may be grade school age and younger. First, please know that we are so thankful for you and your families. Know that we support you…

Finding Treasure Right Where You Are
Just a few days ago, a father and son in North Carolina made a remarkable discovery. On a 14-acre piece of land they bought a few years ago, they found a piece of wood sticking out of the ground due to recent dryer, almost drought-like conditions. As they worked down near the wood, they figured out that the wood was part of a ship that was a little over 100 years old! The area used to be used for gold mines, but when those were basically given up on, some of the equipment was also left behind and forgotten. Now, over 100 years later, this father and son got the…

Give Your Kids More Heroes Than Celebrities
We live in a celebrity culture. It seems that everyone wants the proverbial 15 minutes of fame. Attention spans are short, but the financial stakes of fame are still high, so people will do nearly anything to reach celebrity status. And, sadly, our culture eats it up. We care about the latest gossip from Hollywood. We tune in to watch our favorite singers and stars talk about themselves. We follow, retweet, like, and favorite nearly anything they produce on social media. But I want my children to understand the difference between celebrities and real heroes. Heroes may not get the wall-to-wall coverage, but they are the types of people I…

A One-Step Process to Become a Superstar
At some point, almost everyone has dreamed of being a superstar. While very few people achieve celebrity fame, almost everyone has thought about it. And a whole lot of people really wish they could be famous. Today, I want to give you a simple one-step process to achieve superstardom. But, before I share it, I have to add one caveat; one disclaimer. This one step will not make you a world-wide phenomenon. This process won’t get your name in any newspaper or on the headlines of famous websites. You won’t get any interviews on TV or radio. You won’t be asked to write a book and go on a tour.…

What Makes You a Winner?
Friday night football in small towns is a great event. I remember spending lots of Friday nights watching the Dexter (MO) Bearcats play and enjoying the pre-game and half-time shows by the band. A couple of weeks ago in southeast Missouri, the Jackson Indians played the Cape Central Tigers on Jackson’s home field. The game was really hard on Cape Central and the final score proved it. The final score was 35 – 0. Games like that are hard to take. You practice (in a lot of heat, I might add) and you travel to the town of the opposing team. Your hopes are high. The stands are full of fans. The cheerleaders are leading cheers…
