Fridays Feel More Meaningful
In just a couple of hours, we will be holding our fourth Marketplace Church gathering at City Life Center.
The experience thus far with “MPC” has been rewarding, primarily because of the bright faces I see leaving the auditorium at the end of the lunch hour each week. This makes it all worthwhile. I guess this is why my Fridays feel so much more meaningful.
I truly appreciate the...
Laugh It Off!
I believe it really helps to not take ourselves too seriously, and learn to laugh off our shortcomings.
Today, I’m choosing to do just that!
It’s 5:50AM, and I have another huge day in front of me. I have several client meetings, I’m speaking at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon, I’m leading a prayer gathering in Fort Worth, and I am holding a Men’s Covenant...

Religion judges, criticizes & condemns

Choose ministry
#MinistryTip
Love is a choice.
An act of your will, not based upon fleeting emotions.
A command.
So, LOVE today!
The Bible on Love:
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain,...

Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders- he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. (Psalm 55:22) When I’m stressed about “stuff”, these words really hit the spot. It’s a reminder from God that I don’t have to carry the troubles of life on MY shoulders. Instead, I can “pile” it...
