Want it? You got it. In order to build their business most people make the mistake of putting their attention on building their business. This will only produce minimal results.  The #1 secret for building your business is BUILDING YOURSELF.  Your business will never outperform your abilities. You are the lid on your business and your results. And in order to raise your lid you need to get better. Need help on that? Let’s talk. Don&#...

I understand the New Year’s Eve celebration. I do. In fact, I like it. I’ve hosted and attended parties for years. But tonight I’m trading in my kazoo (or whatever those things are) for some shut-eye. Why? Because I have a better party in the morning. I don’t mean to sound negative about New Year’s it’s just not as good as Sunday morning. I need to rest up. I want to be alert. I want to come with my heart prep...

Every year since I started blogging, I’ve published a “Year in Review” post to show which of my posts from that year were the most read. This year – sometime in April or May – I started something new. I began linking to old posts on Twitter and Facebook. While some people were confused by the links to the old posts, I mostly received very positive feedback from people who were encoura...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Deeper Waters where we are diving into the ocean of truth. Tonight, I’m going to continue our look at the Inerrancy debate with a personal appeal from my friend Paul and what he fears is going on in this matter. For that, let me give a little background. Paul and I met in 2001 at Johnson Bible College. I was a student there and in my Western Civilization class had raised my hand to speak out against JEPD t...

Every year since I started blogging in 2006, I’ve chosen a “best book” of the year. I’ve already had two criteria for choosing those books: 1) it had to be a book that I read for the first time that year and 2) it had to be a book about the church. (I mean, this blog is about the church, right?) But, this year, by plan and by design, I decided to not read new books about the church. (I did ...

When we gather together with the church, we often read and discuss Scripture together. Typically, we will read at least a chapter of Scripture together; sometimes we will read even more. If we’re studying through a shorter book, we’ll read that book in its entirety each time we discuss it. We’ve done this with Philippians, Colossians, and Ruth (and perhaps others). In each case, we studied each b...

I couldn’t decide what to name this post. I decided to go with the cross between Scripture and Google. So, what is this post about? Well, about 1/3 of the people who read my blog this year (2011) came here through various search engines: Google primarily, but also bing, yahoo, ask (another Scripture reference?), etc. Most of the search terms that result in hits on this blog are related to my name or the name...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Deeper Waters where we are diving into the ocean of truth. Tonight, I’d like to look at something that was sent to me by Ratio Christi on the topic of Paul. There is a web site that has the claim that Paul was the false teacher that Jesus warned about. You would have thought the claim of Paul creating Christianity as it is today would have died out since E.P. Sanders gave it a death blow so long ago, but t...

Actually, I do love accents, and I often ask people where they’re from because of their accent. I’ve found that most people are excited to talk about their home, whether it is another state or another country. I can’t remember anyone being upset when I’ve asked them where they are from. But, this post is not about that. Instead, this post is about the people who have visited my blog during ...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Deeper Waters where we are diving into the ocean of truth. Last night, I wrote about my personal involvement in the Geisler’s Christmas Carol video. I do appreciate my in-laws taking the time to comment last night and thus, one can see that they have no problem with the video. It is amazing that after all that Geisler has done to us, that he expects us to take down the video and to apologize. However, Geis...
