These posts discuss various aspects of personal development. They focus on practical ways that we can bring change to our lives.
Editor’s Note: This post is longer than what I normally share. This is one of my favorite stories though, and I wanted to share it in its entirety. Many years ago there was an Emperor so exceedingly fond of new clothes that he spent all his money on being well dressed. He cared nothing about […]

Have you ever felt that you were stuck? There were a lot of cars stuck in ditches all around Atlanta last year during our annual snow and ice storm. For most of these motorists, a call to a tow truck and $100.00 later, they were back on the road. It is a little more complicated to

In Part One, we discussed the importance of not drifting away from God and keeping our faith in Him strong. The first way that we mentioned was the importance of staying in church. God never intended that anyone live the Christian life on their own. We need each other! 2. Spend Time with God Everyday To

One of the questions that I am often asked as a pastor is, “How do I keep my faith strong during difflicult times?” Anyone who has been a Christian for a while has experienced times when they have felt that their faith was weak.

I was hesitant to read The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears. I hate gimmick Christian books. It seems like every few years in the Christian world, someone comes out with a new prayer gimmick, or a new devotional gimmick, or a new leadership gimmick, etc. Thankfully, I was wrong
“Abraham, go and take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love…Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering…” This is by far, one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. Why would God ask any parent to do something this horrible? I don’t pretend to have all the answers here. What
