I’ve written about what respect looks like here and here. Today I would like to recommend a book that does a great job of describing what respect looks like and how to do it. It really is a great book on the topic. Here it is Love & Respect, by Emerson Eggerichs. You can find it here. As is often […]
Respect: Part 1
I chatted with a lady the other day who was having difficulties living with her husband. I gave her some really good advice, but after she left, I realized I hadn’t given her anything concrete to think about and practical thins she could do. So, here are some thoughts on what wives respecting their husbands […]
Plotting the Course
Counseling Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Plotting the Course by Curtis Solomon [This article was taken from the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.] Counseling someone who wrestles with the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress can be a long process. It is not a sprint or even a marathon. It is more like an orienteering or land navigation race. These races involve teams who […]
Change is Hard Part 1
I work with a lot of people who need to make some changes in the way they think about God and their subsequent behavior. Some people take to change like ducks to water. But other people really have a hard time changing. I’d like to take a few moments to talk about why I think […]

What Now?
My last post talked about owning our sin, particularly the sin of adultery. But I didn’t have space to talk about what someone who has sinned does now. That’s what this post is about. The status is that the person has confessed his (I know women commit adultery too, it just gets crazy to say, […]
They Were Big And It Was Dark
It’s interesting how often sins seem to come in bunches. In the past couple of weeks I’ve heard several stories of men biting the dust in the area of adultery. I live in a college town and so porn problems are pretty common, but actual adultery is, thankfully, pretty rare. The reason I’m writing on […]
It Might Be A Hoot
I was listening to an interview with Rosaria Butterfield and she said some things that got me to thinking. You can listen to her interview here. She just published a book called The Gospel Comes With A House Key. I now have it on my audible but haven’t listened to it yet. But, I digress. She said […]
