While Valentine’s Day is a nationally recognized day of romance, it’s important for men to pursue their wives on regular basis, not just on special occasions. The idea is you want to show her you love her a million different times in a million different ways. No matter how long you’ve been married or how […]
Every boy is trying to find it. Each young man is trying to capture it. Every man is trying to own it. It’s that elusive quality of masculinity. On first glance, we feel this is about gaining certain virtues and skills associated with masculinity, but it’s more than that. It’s deeper than a man’s behavior […]
Don’t think for a moment that the controversial Gillette commercial is attempting to redefine masculinity. I doubt that Proctor & Gamble executives met to discuss their part in helping guide the cultural attempt to construct its perfect man.

Advent encompasses the four weeks before Christmas. It is a time of waiting, not only for the first coming of Christ as a baby but also for His coming again as a king. This first advent meditation is about that baby. One of my vivid memories of visiting London comes from a visit to the […]
This is the third in a series of four posts on ancient ways Christians have sought God (view Part 1 and Part 2). The path described in this post turns the focus to our lives. Of course, we need to read the Scriptures to grasp how God works, but this path invites us to read […]
