The Sin of Arrogance
n the message “Give Him All The Glory” we considered how Joseph recognized his ability to interpret dreams was only by God’s grace; “God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires” (Genesis 41:16). We were also reminded of Paul’s words to the Corinthians, “What do you have that you did not receive?” (1 Corinthians 4:7), […]
El Pecado de la Arrogancia
En el mansaje “Demosle Toda la Gloria” consideramos como José se dio cuenta que su habilidad para interpretar los sueños era solo por la gracia de Dios; “Dios quien le dará al faraón una respuesta favorable” (Genesis 41:16). También se nos recordó las palabras de Pablo a los Corintios,”¿Qué tienes que no hayas recibido?” (1 […]
The Faces of Cancer
It’s been a difficult week here at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston. Kaylee’s chemotherapy treatment was delayed because she had some internal bleeding which was causing severe pain. However, after a short procedure to stop the bleeding, a noisy night in the Intensive Care Unit, and many long hours of monitoring her blood counts to […]
So The World May Know
In the message “The Mind of Christ” we considered our call to walk according to the new life we have already been given. We then looked at several aspects of Jesus’ life as our solid example to follow. We saw His walk of humility as well as His desire to serve and glorify the Father; […]
Para Que El Mundo Reconozca
En el mensaje “La Mente de Cristo” consideramos nuestro llamado de caminar de acuerdo a la nueva vida que se nos ha dado. Después vimos varios aspectos de la vida de Jesús como un solido ejemplo a seguir. Vimos Su deseo de servir y glorificar al Padre; pero probablemente los aspectos más desafiantes de la […]
The Mind of Christ
In the message “Stand Our Ground” we began with a statement that our Christian walk involves a process of renewing our mind. Paul wrote to the Romans about this renewal as an on-going process of transformation (Romans 12:2). He also wrote about a renewed mind as something which has already occurred; “But we have the […]
La Mente de Cristo
En el mensaje “Parémonos Firmes” comenzamos estableciendo que nuestro caminar Cristiano involucra un proceso de renovación de nuestra mente. Pablo escribió a los Romanos acerca de esta renovación como una transformación en marcha (Romanos 12:2). El también escribió acerca de las mentes renovadas como algo que ya sucedió; “Mas nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo” […]
Stand Our Ground
Our Christian walk of growing closer to God and becoming more like His Son involves a process of “renewing our mind” (Romans 12:2). Our mind is renewed as we begin to consider things of eternal value rather than the fading things of the world. But no matter how far we mature in our walk, distractions […]
Parémonos Firmes
Nuestro caminar Cristiano, mientras nos acercamos a Dios y estamos transformados a la semejanza de Su Hijo, involucra un proceso de “renovar nuestra mente” (Romanos 12:2). Nuestra mente se renueva de la manera que comenzamos a considerar las cosas con valor eterno en vez de las cosas del mundo que se desvanecen. Pero no importa […]
Live Above The Noise
[Note: This message was originally sent out in 2009 when our family was traveling in a camper trailer through the northern and western United States. Tonight, as I continue to process our priorities and busyness through our daughter’s cancer, I can see this is a message I need to hear again!] Today is day thirty-two […]
Update on Kaylee
It would not be proper to give an update on our twelve year old daughter without first saying thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement. I’m convinced that your prayers have made a difference in our lives during these last few weeks. Cancer is a difficult issue to face, especially when it attacks […]
Actualización sobre Kaylee

Estoy convencido que sus oraciones han hecho una diferencia en nuestras vidas durante estas últimas semanas pasadas. Cáncer es un asunto difícil de enfrentar, especialmente cuando ataca a […]
