I’ve been looking forward to October 2022 for a few years. Ever since my mom sent me my baby scrapbook and I found the handwritten October 1972 note saying that I had accepted Jesus as my savior that month. So this month marks 50 years with Jesus. What do I have...

I’m celebrating my 50th Jesusiversary. Ok, I just made that word up. But I think it communicates the joy of what I’m talking about. Half a century of my life has been spent with Jesus. That’s a long time and a big milestone. Along the way,...

This month I celebrate 50 years of faith. It was sort of a family legend that I put my faith in Jesus as a 4 year old boy. But a few years ago I saw my baby book with my mom’s handwritten note in September 1972 documenting the fact… Fifty years is a long...

Last week I shared the story about how my mom sent me a scrapbook that contained her hand-written note “Denny accepted Jesus as savior.” It was dated September 1972. I was 4 years old. So as I complete the 50th year of my life with Jesus, I thought it...

50 years ago, something happened beside the bed of a young child that changed his life forever. I am the firstborn of 4 children. This is only a relevant fact in the face of the behavior of mothers to their children. The amount of photos and scrapbooking that occurs...

Recent statistics and numbers show an alarming change in the number of self-identified Christians in America in the years ahead. My plans this week got upended. I thought I had a great email set up to send out… but then something happened. Now it’s on...

When politics starts to appropriate scripture to defend its cause, danger is close. One of the joys of reading through the Bible is that I run into scripture passages that trigger all sorts of thoughts. These are passages that I might not have thought to consider...

Just because you’ve failed along the way doesn’t mean you still can’t succeed. Last summer I was hanging out at my parent’s house while helping my dad put a new ceiling on the family room. One of the evenings we were sitting around the family...

This last week, my church celebrated baptisms. I was honored to watch as a couple people shared their testimony before obediently following Christs’s command in the waters of baptism. It’s a time that brings goosebumps to my arms. At Christ Church, the...

I read the subject of today’s email a few weeks ago in my daily Bible reading plan a few weeks ago. You might not think that one verse would stick with you after a few weeks. But this one did. “And he departed with no one’s regret.” The next...

Growing up, we all have heroes. It comes as a surprise to some that my childhood hero was Mr. Spock – from the original Star Trek series. But people who really know me nod their head and mutter “Saw that coming!” Mr. Spock was the epitome of...

Several weeks ago, I shared that my “day job” is designing computer software for healthcare providers. I’ve been in technology now for over 30 years. (I’m sure there’s a joke in that, and that you’ll share it with me.) Hang with me...

You know me from my books. I love the Bible. I want to teach. I’m very much self-taught (as opposed to Bible-school taught). But here is something I bet you don’t know about me. It doesn’t show up in any of my books. I love to sail. “Dennis,...

It’s closer than you might think… Unless you take action you could see it come to pass. My wife and I just got back from a nice vacation (holiday for those in Europe) in Ireland. Nine days of no work, lovely landscapes and super friendly people. I highly...

Fill in the blank. What’s the thing you can’t seem to get to? It’s no secret that we live in busy times. It seems like we’re continually on the go. And our to-do (or “want-to”) list never gets fully checked off. I deal with this...
