The Second Day

The Second Day… Don’t miss the blessings of today as you recoup from the Good Friday activities and prepare for Easter Sunday’s service, egg hunts, lunches and family time. Although the Bible doesn’t detail what the disciples did on the Second Day, be sure that there was a lot going on. It’s the same in our lives. When what we thought was a sure thing gets nailed to the cross and we lurk into fear of failure on that Second Day. It in this wilderness of darkness that our faith

Walking Through Your Life’s Wilderness Season: Obscurity Is Not Punishment

Blessings In Truth I’ll be honest. I struggled. I struggled a lot, and without anyone to share big time truths with me about what it was I was struggling with, I’m not sure I would’ve made it. I still recall the day God spoke so clearly to me. I was at the height of my career when He called me to retire and serve Him. Surely God was joking right? I mean after all, I was a chief of police, a college professor with a PhD and a federal government contractor. I’d worked almost 26

An Open Letter To America’s Lukewarm Christians

(Note: If this offends you, then you might be who needs to read it twice) Dear Lukewarm Christian, Don’t mistake Trump for Jesus. God gave this country four years of His ministerial grace and growth under Trump, but Trump wasn’t the one who gave it. It was God. Maybe you did or didn’t like Trump, but don’t get caught up in the messenger. Unfortunately, we have a sin habit of rejecting God’s gifts. He once sent His only begotten Son to deliver the greatest message and gift of

The Candy Bar: Not Paying Today Costs Much More Later

Got’cha When I was very young, I stole a candy bar from the grocery store. It was one of the mom and pop shops that dotted neighborhoods around my small town. As so many of us have had to endure, I was marched back in and made to confess and apologize for taking what was not rightfully mine. It wasn’t easy and definitely painful, but my parent’s actions were the right thing to do. Not Always I’ll share a bit more because there were a few other times when my ill-gotten gains w

Can You Hang On For $100?

Those Who Are Weary And Burdened I like to challenge our kids. I look for efforts on everything from exercise to eating cherry tomatoes. Last Christmas we bought the youngest a chin up bar. I know, but he’s a gymnast and enjoys that stuff. So, I offered everyone $100 if they were simply able to hang from the chin up bar for 60 seconds. Simple right? I ended the day without having to pay any of the kids or Leah. Honestly, I tried and lasted less than 60 seconds too. The truth

Hit The Wall Yet? How Many Times?

Have you hit a wall yet? We’ve been at this pandemic quarantine for a while now, and even the most ardent introvert is feeling the stress. Actually, it would be rare for someone to say they’ve not hit a wall at least once during this lockdown. I’m an extrovert, so not being around my closest friends has caused several occasions for feeling out of the loop and smacked against the wall.

COVID-19: Making Everything Alright, Or At Least Better.

Whirlwind It’s easy to find yourself caught up in the panic. Watching social media all day for updates of infection and death data wears on the spirit. We enter into a swirl of doubt, dread, helplessness, fear and eventually despair. It doesn’t take long once you begin feeding your mind a constant diet of doom and gloom. Some people are going to do desperate things because fear now has a grip on them. We understand and when what seems like a situation that has nothing to do w

The Bro Code Series Celebrates Alpha Manhood’s Building The Better Man

Too Late? Do you think it’s ever too late to change? Of course I understand the longer we wait, the harder it is to change. When we factor in the man card, it can get even more difficult to push improvement. The Bro Code Series isn’t about getting a ripped six-pack, or rippling biceps for the beach. This is about building the better man according to God’s design. I know it’s easier to get men to read a workout book than it is to read about looking at our life in a mirror. Nev

25 Days of 31: Broken and Blue

25 Days of 31: Broken and Blue “How long does it take you to write a book?” I’ve been asked that often. My reply for a full-length novel is about 30 days for the first rough draft. Lifetime This book, Broken and Blue has taken about 30 years. No, not because I wrote it slow, but because it’s the story of most of my life. I don’t mean the chronological account, but the parts that affected me most – the good and the bad. Police work takes a heavy toll, but it’s often the life

23 Days of 31: You Can Fix That

23 Days of 31: You Can Fix That I skipped a few days in my quest to journal for 31 days consecutively. But, it was best at the time as I focused on me. Not in a selfish way, but in a way for self. Kairos Kairos, a Greek word meaning an opportune time or place, was what I pursued this week. Seeking God’s decision to move in my life at an opportune time required stepping into His presence. Gateway Church hosts Kairos over 2 days, and is an opportunity to isolate yourself from t

I’m Sorry, Does My Worship Bother You?

Incredible night of worship at Gateway’s Men’s Summit 2018 Slow Your Roll Visiting a church while out of town many years ago, I was told to “Slow your roll,” during worship. It seemed they didn’t “like” when people raised their hands in praise. Only the Holy Spirit fled from that place quicker than I did. I’m in 2 Samuel this week and was reminded of that event while studying the 6th chapter. It details the newly crowned king of Israel, David’s response to criticism of his “r

The Warrior’s Marriage: God’s Foundational Law of Priority

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 Priorities must be proven in real terms, not just words. • Four ways we prove priorities: 1. Sacrifice – “I will give this up for you.” 2. Time – “I will spend quality time with you.” 3. Energy – “I will meet your needs.” 4. Attitude – “I want to be with you.” Tune in LIVE each Monday at 7:00pm (cst) at Brick Breakers Much Love/Much Respect, Scott Let’s connect on

2 Year Old TV Mover? Not Gonna Happen, Right?

“Rak Chazak Amats” I love this ancient Hebrew battle cry. It has launched many victories for God. It empowers you to be strong, hold your ground and never even consider the possibilities of defeat. Can you imagine if we adopted the holy mindset of not considering the possibilities of defeat in our marriage, health, family, job, friendships and faith? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never lea

The Eulogy: 2014

The Eulogy: 2014 Over the last few days I’ve witnessed so many who’ve cursed or eulogized the last year; yes 2014. Instead of rejoicing in the 365 days of life God allowed them, they dismiss the gifts of grace in hopes of happenstance instantly or magically changing their circumstances. What makes a person believe that the tick of a second-hand tock is going to erase the hardships, the failures, the could-have-beens, the should-have-beens and the never-have-beens? Good things
