This is something I maintain vigorously: It is easier to say, “I love you,” than “I trust you.” I am not saying trust is better than love. I am saying that there’s no more significant expression of love than trust. That takes a lot especially as we get older and some become more wary and […]
Read More Psalm 146 – Praise the Trustworthy GodOne of the best examples of being faithful comes back to remind me about key things about what that concept is and what it is not.

Read More Solid September Signing: Faithful To Christ At All TimesEven after all these years, he remains a key influence. He never drew attention to himself. He lived in an understated way.

Read More Say What You See: Faithful FatherhoodThere are some people who are absolutely obsessed with studying end times. They read scriptures and make the most seemingly obscure and tenuous connections to establish huge constructs of blow by blow action of how and when things will reach its climax.

Read More Are We Set Up To Be Fruitful?Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find? (Proverbs 20:6) I am only too aware of how easy it is to come across as though I’m all that. It’s easy to talk a good game. I am also aware that when it comes to relationships, people can be […]
