The Caleb Spirit in 2012
Tuesday, January 3, 2012
In my mind, Caleb is the Barnabas of the Old
Testament. When others seemed to lose hope, he offered encouragement to them.
A Year to Remember
Tuesday, December 27, 2011
This can be the most wonderful time of the year if we
allow the Christ of Christmas to guide us through the experience. Rather than
being caught up in the routined frenzy of long lines at stores shopping for
gifts and the endless social gatherings during the season, we can focus on what
is called the Advent.

Finishing
Strong
Monday, November 21, 2011
I do not pretend to be a football coach, but I do

Encouraged!
Thursday, October 28, 2011

Christians have often done some of their most effective service for Christ. But
in order to be an effective servant, we must find our source of encouragement in
the face of these discouraging situations.

Today: An Interview
Thursday, October 16, 2011
Managing ourselves means more than controlling the
calendar, staying morally and ethically pure, reading the latest books, keeping
family time balanced, and running things smoothly in one's ministry. I am
convinced this means staying in touch with Lord and with yourself in such a way
that you make the right decisions and lead in the right direction.
