For many years now people have been able to watch religious programming on network television stations like NBC, ABC, and CBS.

Many Christian married couples have yet to experience a fulfilling sexuality. Yet, it is an essential ingredient for a vital Christian marriage. Here are 7 barriers to a fun and fulfilling lovemaking for Christian married couples

Secularists claim that they rely on science and reason to support their beliefs.
Many vocal secularists claim that Christians rely on blind faith and believe things contrary to science and reason. This is a gross misunderstanding of the underpinnings of Christian belief. The fact is SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE AGREE!
Christianity is a faith. We openly […]
In today’s culture, it’s very easy to compartmentalize our lives. In fact, many organization specialists say that this is the best way to keep track of the many elements of our busy lives. That’s because having a system works.
But you need to keep in mind that all the areas of your life are linked. For […]
You may have heard that the people who save more money early in their lives will earn more throughout their lives than someone who starts saving later. It’s very true. But it’s not all there is to successful investing.
There are some very important principles many Christians overlook when they invest. Some of them are tied […]
Have you ever met someone who just didn’t care about other people? If you have, you probably didn’t spend much time with them. They didn’t want you to. They probably even did something to push you away as fast possible. In fact, they may have been so rude you probably walked away thinking fairly negative […]
There’s an interesting characteristic within the Trinity that can have an enormous impact on how your kids respect you and your spouse.
If you look in Scripture, you’ll see something intriguing. All the members of the Trinity work very hard at glorifying each other. The Father glorifies the Son in Matthew 3:17, when God says, “This […]
Radio talk show host Neal Boortz, a libertarian who takes great pride in offending as many people as he can (including Christians), has issued a challenge. He insists there is no such thing as greed. And he doesn’t think anyone can give him a definition that will change his mind.
I think he’s right: I doubt […]
I recently had the opportunity to interview Lance Armstrong’s trainer, Chris Carmichael. As you may know, Lance is the seven-time winner of the grueling Tour de France bike race. What Chris saw in Lance during his training may change the way you view your life.
Chris Carmichael has raced in the Tour de France and the […]
You’ve probably never heard of Vicente Menchu. He was a poor farmer from the mountain region of Guatemala. He lived in the tiny village of El Quiche (pronounced kee-chay). And didn’t think he would ever touch the world.
In the late 1970s, when the Guatemalan government began seizing land owned by his fellow villagers, Vicente talked […]
You’ve undoubtedly heard many stories of people who get rich quick by winning the lottery or gaining a substantial inheritance, only to squander the fortune and become worse off than before. But there are also plenty of rags-to-riches stories, where the newly found riches are a very real blessing to the recipient, as well as […]
Have you ever noticed that some people are really good with relationships, while others struggle to have even one good friend? Or have you seen how some people who appear to be friendly on the surface really have a mean streak underneath? Or what about the person who seems to sabotage any relationship that comes […]
Do you know someone who is anxious, worrisome, or having a particularly bad day? If you do, Proverbs 12:25 has a simple remedy that can help.
The verse says, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” All it takes for you to help that person is to give […]
There are few things in life as precious as the prayers of a young child. I love to hear our children pray, especially when they really express themselves well and have their thoughts on other people.
But I’ve noticed something about a child’s prayers: They are great barometers of where your child’s heart is before the […]
The other day I was talking to an acquaintance that I’ve known for over 15 years. The conversation was cordial, as usual. But it was pretty much a surface conversation. You would think that after knowing each other for so long our conversations would have some depth to them. But they never have.
Don’t get me […]
Everything you do is an investment. It doesn’t matter whether it’s eating, watching TV, working, or spending time with others, you’re investing your time, energy, and/or material resources. So the natural question that flows out of this is, “What then are the best investments?”
We know that some investments have negative returns, some have positive, and […]
Successfully executing a plan is far more important to your success than your personality. All personality types can experience success if they learn to execute properly. And while execution isn’t always an exciting principle to talk about, it is in fact a biblical principle.
“How is it a biblical principle?” you might ask. When we talk […]
“Steve, you like to be right.” The words seemed a little silly when my good friend Larry said them to me. I mean, of course I like to be right. Who doesn’t? None of us wants to be wrong. How foolish would that be.
“You like to be right so much that you’re willing to run […]
Have you ever felt the desire to bless somebody else, but you just didn’t know how to do it? Or perhaps you knew how to bless them, but you didn’t have the resources available to make it happen? If either of these has ever happened to you, you’ll be glad to know that God has […]
