For this “Monday Short” mediation I want to present an idea for an evangelism focused tee-shirt. If you do decide to design and order one, send me one too, size large. But before looking at my idea, let me just say that we really, brothers and sisters, fellow Christians; we really need to be more obedient in carrying out the Great Commission and in fulfilling our role to be Jesus’...

“Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” – Pablo Picasso” Outreach and personal evangelism become a challenge for many Christians.  Deep in our hearts, we want to be obedient to the Great Commission and make disciples, but our efforts to reach the lost, the strayed, or the stolen (by the world) reveal some degree of timidity.  So here is a...

“And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.  But if you refuse to honor God’s Son, whom he sent to you, then you are certainly not honoring the Father.” (John 5:22-23 The Living Bible) Not too many years after graduating from Indiana University, my father took a job as a District Manager with the major...

“He told them, “You don’t get to know the time.  Timing is the Father’s business.  What you’ll get is the Holy Spirit.

“And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.  Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized.  Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.” (Titus 2:7-8 NLT) You’re standing in the pulpit, preaching your heart out; sweat is...

“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:5 NIV) I’m at the front of the checkout line at a big box retail store in my neighborhood.  I opted to skip the self-serve checkout line and go to a line where a cashier would scan and bag my purchases.  I had interacted with this...
