Yesterday I said that life was unpredictable and short, and that all of us are one heartbeat away from meeting our Maker. (Not to be morbid, but it’s true!) Because of that, getting right with God is our number 1 job. But today, I’d like to talk about something else along the same vein: Prioritizing … Continue reading Prioritizing key relationships

All of us are one heartbeat from meeting our Maker. So this is the #1 thing you need to figure out, especially in this world of distraction.
“Judgy”
I'm never in favour of being judgmental. But what if someone says you're "judgy"... when you're NOT? Read on...
The Messiah is living amongst you
What if the Messiah was living in your midst? As this old legend teaches, it could change everything.
When you disagree
It’s easy to have a good time when everyone agrees about everything. You laugh at the same jokes and see eye to eye about what’s right (or wrong) with the world. In fact, when we grow up, it’s often the people who agree with us most who become our friends. But times goes on. And … Continue reading When you disagree
