• Communication

  

  As I sat at the breakfast table a good many weeks ago I had a thought.  Lynn and I had just finished our devotional in the Psalms (thank you, Dr. Keller – see the Resources tab) and it was a quiet moment.  I looked at her eyes and realized she was reading the back of…

• Molding or Chiseling?

  

  Last week’s blog was an encouragement to find a “Freedom Process” where you and God can come to a mutual agreement that He is in charge, His Word is Law, He has a plan for your life, His plan for you is perfect, He forgives, He offers Freedom, He is Elohim, Jehovah AND Adonai (see…

• Freedom Process

  

  When I was “found out” on August 28th, 2015 and I very nearly destroyed everything I held dear, I wondered if God would really be there for me.  As an addict I believed the lies I’d told myself and was convinced that He hated me, that I was too far gone and that He had…

• Joy

  

  I honestly don’t know where this post is going.  I sit here with tears running down my cheeks as I grieve for Coraline, a beautiful Granddaughter I’ll never hold again, a daughter whose heart is broken, a broken-hearted man I hardly know, my darling wife and my entire family.  And my heart says write about…

• Tears

  

  I like that God directs my writing.  Since I’ve committed to a blog-a-week I pay closer attention to what’s going on around me, how it affects the people around me, what He’s doing every day and then I write.  God touches whomever He sees fit – even if it is only me.  Sometimes, an idea…

• Rebuilder or Destroyer?

  

  Into our lives come all kinds of bits of information.  It comes from sources both expected and unexpected.  Sometimes it’s trite and trivial but sometimes there comes a person or a movie or a book or something that absolutely alters the way you see … life.  Yes.  It can be that affective. I want to…

• My god was too small

  

  I have been formulating this blog post for quite a while now.  I’ve been mulling it around in my head longer than I knew I was going to have a blog to put it in. It’s a concept that I’ve found critical in my Journey to Freedom.  MY god was too small. Is your God…

• “But YOU, Sovereign LORD …”

  Some days God speaks to my heart in quiet moments with gentle Scriptures, subtly touching my heart until I hear.  And other times His Word seems to roll over me, invoking my past, present and future like a clap of thunder making my heart quake but sit up and take notice. The last couple of…

• Pornography and Adultery

  

  As I sit and try to decide exactly where to start with my blogs I want to spend several of the first ones to lay out some basics of where I’m coming from and the foundation of a lot of my positions. I believe society has crept into the church, into our Spirituality and allowed…

• Ephesians 5:21ff

  

  I wrote this as an email to a Pastor friend of mine when he asked me how I view this particular passage now that I’m out of my addiction; he needed it for a sermon he was preparing. “Ben (not his real name) – I am no theologian. You know this. You’ve asked me for the “Rest of the…
