5 Things a Real Man Has on His Calendar
I admit it: I live by a calendar and to-do list. I am a total time nerd. Side note: If Google Calendar ever goes out of existence, I might just be going out of existence, too! Admittedly, though, I have struggled through the years with a calendar that was filled by everyone else. A few years ago, however, I heard a fellow preacher teach a session at Polishing the Pulpit about time management. He suggested (very strongly) that we need to put everything on our calendars. I started doing that as best as I could, and what a difference it has made! The reason is simple: when you put everything on your…

It is the practice of sharing on social media things that a person knows are going…

The basic idea behind Universalism is that religion as a whole is a human quality that exists in every human being. Thus, regardless of your beliefs and practices, whatever your religion happens to be, it is acceptable and it ought to be embraced with an attitude of inclusiveness.

God chose Jesus alone to be man’s only way to come to the…
