I can’t take credit for this post—my son, Nathan gave me the idea from his own time in God’s Word. You see, he’s been on this pretty cool kick lately that he ought to spend at least as much time with God as he does playing computer games or practicing soccer. So far he’s […]
READ MOREWow, now there’s a phrase you can take about 18 million different ways! When people say this, what exactly are they asking? If you enjoy lying—be a liar? If you are lousy at math—don’t be an accountant? If you can sing like a canary—join the praise and worship team? If you are […]
READ MOREI used to have a Honda Passport. If ever there was an ill thought out vehicle, this was it. There were several things about it that made it quite clear that it was an after thought on the part of Honda rather than a well planned out SUV to compete in the market. Things such […]
READ MORELast we read, we were tracking the rebellious Israelites as they decided to obey God—but only halfway. In fact, it seemed more like about 90 percent of the way to me. But God would have none of it. He wanted their obedience to be all or nothing A lot of people read passages like this […]

Dealbreaker Non-Dealbreaker A lot of times Christians come to the following cute little (and […]
READ MOREIf I told you that my in-laws were 2 of my favorite missionaries most of you would be pretty shocked. I didn’t know your in-laws were missionaries! Where are they missionaries? What foreign land? Do they need prayer? Do they need support? STOP! You’re thinking of missionaries in the more traditional sense. I’m talking about […]
READ MOREI know it went well at Southbrook Monroe last week—I was there. The people were fired up and as worshipful as I’ve ever seen a group of folks! But then again, all the feedback I got was awesome from the 11:00 service at Southbrook Weddington as well. I guess they don’t need a live preacher…’boo hoo, sniff, […]
READ MORELast night at the dinner table I was addressing the very serious phenomenon of “long term borrowing” I’ve witnessed of late in the Singleton household. What I’ve seen is not quite as bad as stealing, and not quite as trivial as simple borrowing (where you actually ask first). But it is a state of borrowing […]
