You hear a lot about hypocrisy. People act like Jesus talked about hypocrisy all of the time, but He didn’t except when He dealt with religious Pharisees. Today, Christians are afraid to be bold and to biblically counsel or tell others about Jesus because of the “hypocrisy” or “sin” in their own lives, but we don’t…
For those of you who are new readers, I blogged a lot on UNITY in the early days of this blog! Unity is near and dear to my heart though it’s a struggle for me at times. I have to fight to keep unity just as you do, too, I’m sure! I love unity in the body…
Where will transformation of Birmingham and our nation come from? Politics? Not likely. Look at our current mayoral mess and the debt in Jefferson County. Social organizations and civic groups? Not likely. Good hearts but they often do not point people to Christ. Mental health? Not likely, it has not helped so far. Look at recent tragic…
Can mankind unlock someone’s heart? No, only the Lord can do unlock the human heart. Then, why counsel someone if mankind cannot? The Holy Spirit and the Word of God work together to unlock the human heart according to Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to…
Ken Ham wrote a book called “Almost Gone” that is great though it is a challenging read. It has statistics in it but Mr. Ham is such a good communicator that it is smooth and informative.

When our goal is simply to glorify the Lord by being obedient to Him as He leads us by the Holy Spirit in accordance to God’s Word, then there are “by-products” produced. For example, the “by-product” of seeking to glorify God in your marriage will likely produce more love, joy, and peace in your heart…
Society mistakenly promotes the “heart” as ONLY emotions sometimes today but the “heart” refers to the central part and CORE of someone’s inner person. The HEART, biblically speaking, includes THINKING according to Strong’s Concordance: “fountain of thoughts…” So when you think of your heart, think about your inner self including thoughts, emotions, attitudes, desires, passions, motives,…
I told someone recently that I appreciate the heart’s desire of many in psychology who want to help hurting souls. These folks are compassionate. It’s just that their goal is not enough. God offers more. God wants more! I know that God offers more than just help. God offers Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ….
Not everyone knows that we provide biblical counseling to children and teens! We are counseling more and more young people and I love it because teens are fertile ground. They are teachable (most times) and do their assigned homework unlike many adults. In fact, many of our young people who we are currently ministering to,…
