FearFear is one of the most destructive forces in the world! It causes you to do the things that will make your fears come true and it rarely motivates the right behavior. Men view fear as weakness and use macho behavior mask it.I have found that most women don't even try to hide it. They are openly fearful of rejection, disconnection, abuse and not being valued. Core fears for women are disconnection, not being heard, and losing love and appreciation. Men are afraid of helplessness, being contr …

What Can One Man Do? During his college football career, Tim Tebow frequently wore references to biblical verses on his eye black. In the 2009 BCS Championship Game, he wore John 3:16 on his eye black; the verse was the highest-ranked Google search term over the next 24 hours, generating over 90 million searches. One man in a 24hr period witnessed to 90 million people. We don't all have the ability to reach so many but as I have heard my brother@johnkennedyvaughan say many times before, "If …

Hope "Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: the faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease" -Lamentations 3:21-22Work As Though It Is All Up To Me There have been so many times in my life where I have stopped hoping. It has felt at times that my hopes, dreams, and plans for my life on this Earth have been crushed, pushed aside, or forgotten , despite the effort I put forth. I can remember being a new doctor in residency, and doing everything I could for a patie …

SinTemptations come from every side. No human being gets through life without battling sin. Even with our best efforts, we often relapse into the very sins from which we were rescued. Eventually you will learn that we can’t save ourselves. That’s why we need Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37).Jesus StrengthIf you overcame a sin by your own strength, then that same strength will keep you from a relapse. But I also believe that if Jesus delivered you from that sin, then it will be His streng …

Gold NameDuring Operation Desert Storm, I commanded a Company of Paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division and my Battle Buddy was First Sergeant (1SG) Bobby “Airborne” Bell. His name and reputation were solid gold throughout the division. At that point in my career that spanned 3 decades, I was 27 years old. 1SG Bell was in his forties and had served in the Division for most of his career. He was hard as nails and could whip anyone’s butt in the company. He was man’s man for sure, but that i …

Always trust God's Word - Nothing used to make me want to punch someone in the face more than Rudeness! And so Kenny doesn't catch heat for this one, this is Gabe. We were raised to always be respectful and our father would always say “I hate rude behavior in a man. I won’t tolerate it.” So for me it was natural to be very defensive when I encountered rude people.There is a reason why God commands us to love our enemy and if someone slaps you in the cheek offer the other one. I remember one s …

A woman's greatest need is for security. A woman feels most secure when she is with a Husband that is sensitive. In the movie Beauty and the Beast, when the Beast became sensitive he won Bell's heart! Heck, he won mine too! Strong but sensitive! A woman wants a man to learn what is important to her. She doesn’t have to nag him or drop hints. His job is to serve his wife. He identifies what she needs and he makes sure she gets it. A sacrificial husband will sacrifice a hobby or interes …

God's InterestI used to think that the Lord’s Prayer was a prayer we are supposed to recite word for word. And some people think that the Lord’s Prayer has some special power or influence with God. The Bible teaches the opposite. Here are some tips for praying based on the Lord's Prayer. But remember, God is far more interested in our hearts when we pray than He is in our words.“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Fathe …

In your mind, talk to Him the way you would talk to someone you know truly loves you, cares about you, believes in you, wants only the best for you, will never leave you, will never betray you, …

We are all made in God's image. Perfectly crafted and molded with precision detail. No two of us are exactly alike and We are all made in God's image. Perfectly crafted and molded with precision detail. No two of us are exactly alike and even identical twins have differences.   So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27   We are ALL already perfect in God's eyes. A Masterpiece actually …
