Several months ago I wrote a column called Are You in the Center of God’s Will? Recently I received an email with the following question: I recently read your article regarding living in God’s will day by day, moment by moment. Maybe you can help me with some confusion regarding making choices along the lines of God’s will and gui…

“If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). The key word here is “daily.” As someone has noted, the problem of life is that it is so daily. So routine.So mundane.Several years ago I read about a distinguished Christian leader who made the following observa…

This morning I spent two hours with actor Stephen Baldwin when he came through Tupelo with my longtime friend (and KBM Board of Reference member) Kevin McCullough. Several months ago Stephen and Kevin teamed up to launch a very popular weekly program called BMX Extreme Radio. Even though the program has been is very new, they are already on 160 sta…

Mark 9 tells of a time when John came to Jesus with the news that there was a man casting out demons in Jesus’ name but because he was not a follower of the apostles, they told him to stop. Jesus corrected John with words these simple, insightful words:”Do not stop him. No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say any…

Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine dealing with diseases and surgery of the eye. I know a little bit about that, having had five surgeries on my eyes over the course of a five year period. I am enough of an expert to know this much. When you are looking for an ophthalmologist, you want someone who knows what he is doing, who doesn’t oper…

“Not so with you. Whoever wants to become great among you must first become your servant” (Mark 10:43). The whole episode begins with the strange request of James and John and ends in a heated dispute. It’s all perfectly natural because we were born to compete, to fight for the top spot, to look out for number one. Winning and los…

“What do you want me to do for you?” (Mark 10:51).Since Daylight Savings Time begins this morning, we’re all turning our clocks ahead one hour. That means we “lost” an hour overnight. Now we have even less time do what we need to do today. Or that’s the way it feels. Against that backdrop, let’s consider th…

“Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days” (John 11:6).Think about that for a moment. Jesus is the Son of God with power to heal the sick, yet when he hears about Lazarus whom he loved, he did not rush to his side to heal him. It does make sense on the surface. If you love someone, and if you can hel…
