Where do you find manhood most visible and evident? If you were looking for manhood among the men of your city in which forum would you be most likely to find it?
My manhood journey began with the understanding that I had abdicated my headship as the husband within my marriage. So is marriage the place [...]

A question I get asked around the world is how women can be expected to be under the authority of their husband when the Bible says that men and women are equal. This is an important question and one that I have an answer for.
The Problem
The Bible clearly teaches that women are made to take [...]

Freedom is something that westerners take for granted. Consequently we don’t really know what it is. And consequently many Bible truths remain undiscovered, because we do not have a frame of reference for them.
The Son will set you free. The Truth will set you free. Stand strong in your freedom. A Christian slave is God’s [...]

A lovely young couple are currently expecting their first child. I recently felt to encourage the young dad to speak to his unborn baby. I asked if he spoke to the baby in the womb. He replied that his wife spoke to the baby at times, but he didn’t do it.

It’s been a while since I discussed words with you and so I thought I’d bring up another regal topic. This time I want to discuss the idea of being Imperial in an Empire.
Imperial & Empire

That eager lad dashed about with inexhaustible energy. And he bore an idealism fitting for his youth. He didn’t know the tears and toil that time would add to his account.
He knelt in prayer and dedicated every waking breath. And then he stood and spent himself for everyone who called. Silly boy! How they used [...]

We live in a Fatherless World, as I explained in a recent post. So, how do fathers and sons work together to create this fatherless situation? That’s the question I want to explain in this update posting.
Fatherless-ness Defined
Fatherless-ness is the condition of being with the true fathering which God intended. Fathering is a divine calling [...]

Everyone has their own way of assessing things. We judge all manner of things by first impression, speech, attitudes, dress, facial expression and so on. So how does God want us to be evaluated?
God’s Litmus Test
Jesus Christ explained that there is a litmus test by which we would be evaluated. That process was one that [...]

Australians celebrated Father’s Day earlier this month and so the subject of Fathers and Fatherless-ness came to my attention. Here are some of the thoughts I shared in recent weeks on the subject.
Fatherless-ness
The absence of true ‘fathering’ has been so endemic in western culture that most people take for granted a condition which is really [...]

I have had the privilege of learning about time management from some well respected exponents on the subject. Yet my own time management has never been exemplary. Consciousness of time and tasks can become burdensome reality to many. So time management is a pretty important issue in our lives, especially for those who wish to [...]
