How many Christians do you know who are wielding a sword that was never theirs to swing? Are you one of those Christians? What in the world am I talking about? How do you feel when you read the words, "Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord?" Are you glad you are saved? Do you feel like God will twist arms and induce pain until the unbelieving say the words? Sadly, too many Christians believe just that. They believe that God will force confessions from the unbelieving world. What happens to the words, "To the glory of God the Father when he extracts forced...

Sometimes you just need to change the way you do things. Sometimes a short skit is the right answer. Sometimes there just isn't time to do that, or is there? These are for churches and youth groups or drama teams, but just about anyone can handle a part in these short skits. These short skits are designed to be put into use without extensive rehearsals. One or two read-throughs with some motivated cast members can cut the prep time to 20 minutes in a crunch. These short skits do not have to be memorized. The script or some notes can be hidden behind something on stage so the actors can glance...

It is a story. It is a skit. It could even be a dramatic play. It does lend itself to a high quality video of the home-made variety. Perhaps it is meant to be read and recorded for audio playback without visual distraction. It is another conversation. It is a follow on conversation of two friends who wrestle with following Jesus in today's world. This time, however, there is an awareness of some spiritual optics-vision in a world gone blind. That's a good post modern term for eyes to see. What happens when a believer realizes that he or she has been given eyes to see the way of God? It is...

Out of the Box is a collection of exercises often called brainteasers, mind benders, or sometimes just puzzles. Clues are provided but you will have to break away from your traditional thinking to answer many of the more difficult teasers. Topics range from music to politics, sports to entertainment, general knowledge to things only a road warrior, historian, or football buff would know. Many of these brainteasers are alphanumeric, while others are more phonetic, and still others are visual. I first published these online beginning in 2000 and have consolidated the best in this single...

Profanity is everywhere. It seems to be an accepted norm these days. Profanity is mainstream. Is that OK with you? Is there a way to change the current trend? Is there a time and a place for profanity? This book is a one hour lesson plan with student handouts for groups that want to reduce or even eliminate profanity from their lexicon. It is designed for correctional institutions, juvenile programs, AA and NA groups, and even church groups that have recognized the ubiquitous nature of profane language making its way into area previously "off limits" to such vernacular. The lesson is...

Perhaps it is meant to be read and recorded for audio playback without visual distraction. It is another conversation. It is a follow on conversation of two friends who wrestle with following Jesus in today's world. This time, however, there is just something amiss. There is a weariness that shouldn't be there. With eyes fixed on Jesus and all energy used to press on towards the goal, how can things still hurt so much? It's like somebody needs to call a doctor. It is good to...

It is a story, a skit, or even a dramatic play. It does lend itself to a high quality video of the home-made variety or even something to be read and recorded for audio playback without visual distraction. It is a conversation, actually it is 5 conversations. Each is a standalone discussion and each is tied intrinsically to the other. What if we were not afraid and just talked with a friend about Jesus and God's love and just had a conversation. What if we were enough of a friend that our friend was comfortable talking with us about anything, even the most important things?

This is a flexible instruction package that ranges from a single classroom lecture and discussion to multiple and varied sessions. For those with few other rehabilitation or life skills programs, all 7 hours are recommended. For students that have addressed the concept of paradigms or belief systems in other classes, the 1 hour needed for the paradigms class could be omitted or truncated as a review. The Acceptance of Authority class requires some knowledge of paradigms and perception and attempting to sandwich in a few comments on the subject within the existing lesson plan presents too many...
