Back in 2002 I flippantly bought one share of AAPL online for a mere twenty bucks. (Apple Computer stock.) Since then, AAPL has had two stock splits, one at 2-for-1, and more recently one at 7-for-1, when AAPL’s price had soared up above $700/share. Today, Apple has since become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, and … Read More

“Don’t rock the boat!” had become the philosophy of the elders and people of Israel after the time of Judges had begun.

I am so glad that Jesus founded the church while He was here on earth and then empowered it on Pentecost in order that we may effectively fulfill the Great Commission. There are several analogies used to speak … Read More
If we set out today to make a list of all of the various types of parents that fall under the category of being a “Christian parent,” we could make an endless list with divisions and breakdowns of various types of parents.

On a normal weekday afternoon, I was playing with my daughter, Aubrey. We were probably putting a puzzle together, drawing castles, or playing dolls. Yeah, I’m willing to get down and play dolls with my daughters! While we were playing that afternoon, Aubrey taught me an important lesson. In the middle of our time together, … Read More
Just before the Lord Jesus ascended back to Heaven, He gave the Great Commission to His followers in that day and to all of us to take the whole Word to the whole world (Matthew 20:18-20). The word “commission” means “an authoritative command.” He was giving us His desire to be engaged in reaching all … Read More
