Do We Need Anger Management?
Anger management – that elusive skill we all think we have until someone cuts us off in traffic. Road rage, flipping out, losing our cool – it’s like a daily soap opera on our highways. But let’s not kid ourselves; anger isn’t just for the politicians or those high-profile leaders we see ranting on TV.…
Just Do It
Nike’s three little words have certainly had a shelf life that has been strong since 1988. No slogan has come close to making the cultural impact and getting the worldwide acceptance of Nike’s unforgettable phrase. The “Just do it” tagline became one of the biggest ad ideas in history because it spoke to each person…
Guaranteed Success for 2023
Sign me up! God designed us for success. He made us to be winners. And it is true for every person, no matter our past. God never destined us for mediocrity. So, He gave us a set of principles aka commandments to live by. We do our part in adhering to them then we’ll be…
Our Non-Negotiables
Family rules. This is a sign I had made for my “Wuerch” family. When I see it in their home, it reminds me of what family values should look like. Those should be the non-negotiables in our lives. And I’m not just talking about our own family, but it includes our “God” family. He’s our…
It’s a Dog-Love-Dog World
Dog-eat-dog is a phrase to describe how people will do anything to be successful, even if what they do harms others. We don’t have to look far to see that a reality. But, how much more beneficial it is to be in a “Dog-love-dog” world – both in the canine species and the human species.…
The Fast Track to Blessings
I’m still on track in reading the Bible through in one year and I couldn’t go through the book of Exodus without reading about the commandments that God gave to Moses to pass on to the Israelites. What was God thinking? Ten Commandments to live by? Weren’t they just suggestions? After all, we have just…
It was a Day of Humbling Ourselves
I heard about Franklin Graham’s call for a prayer march in Washington D.C. on Saturday, September 26th. I also heard that Jonathan Cahn, a former Jewish rabbi and now, Messianic Jew, called for a day-of-prayer rally in Washington D.C. I knew I would dedicate my Saturday to joining others in prayer, so it was a…
Did God Put His Kids in Time Out?
I watched Andrea Pacelli’s awe-inspiring Easter concert online on Sunday from the Cathedral of Milan. As magnifico as it was, I couldn’t help but think about the thousands who would usually attend one of his concerts. But this day, the Cathedral was empty, save Andrea and the organist. I noticed the empty streets in that…
Happy Passover and Temple Tuesday
What timing! Medical and essential services personnel are on their call of duty. The rest of us are all snuggled in at our homes. Those of us in Christ, don’t work the frontlines or snuggle in fear – we carry on into each other (while apart) and into our Lord – our Place of Refuge…
Time to Feel Good About How Well We Obey
Okay! None of us enjoy someone telling us what to do all the time. I’ve heard plenty of jokes about the hen-pecked man who cowers at his towering, overbearing wife. Seems he would rather “obey” her than deal with the consequences. But, really, most people don’t like being told what to do. Especially as we…
