How to Find a Local Church – 1.0
11 March 2010
One of the more common reasons a person goes outside their local church for counseling is because of a lack of proper, biblical engagement with their local church. Though a counselee may attend a local church, many times their lack of transparent involvement in their local church contributes to the problems they are experiencing. A church [...]

Hey Rick, What Does Your Wife Wear to the Beach?
10 March 2010
Our “Modesty Series” continues to be our most popular series. Here is a question from one of our readers… Rick, can you tell me about your stand on swimsuits?

Back when Lucia and I had a general dislike for each other, we found talking to be a chore, particularly around things that mattered. As I have written in other places, I did muster the courage to shoot the “pink elephant” in the room. I told her that I did not like her, that I [...]

The Darker Side of Jayne: The Ministry Mom
06 March 2010
Jayne is the “go to” gal in her church. Everybody likes her and when someone is struggling and in need of a friend, Jayne is the one who gets the call. Seemingly, her children are “part of the furniture” at the church building because they spent a good portion of their lives at the building. All [...]

Confession of a Former Cigarette Smoker
05 March 2010
This testimony is from my friend Rose (real name), who attended a small group I led a few years ago. She asked me, at one point during our small group, what I thought about her cigarette smoking. I told her that it was not what was between her fingers that was the problem, but what [...]

God is an Extravagant Lover
04 March 2010
When life is not going the way I think it should, it is easy for me to disengage from life by going into self-conservation mode. In those moments I must realize that even when my life is not working out the way I had hoped, that God is still interested in involving me in what [...]
