Patience, Persistence, And Keeping On – Keeping On

“What’s the secret to being a good bull rider?”
When a newspaper reporter asked a Montana cowboy that question, he pushed back his hat and grinned: “You’ve just gotta want to hang on worse than the bull wants to throw you off.”

I just finished day 1 of the @YouVersion Plan Men’s Devotional: For Men, By Men.

Our Weaknesses, God’s Strength

ByTim Nolte February 20, 2017February 20, 2017

That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 NLT

A Christian Husband’s Greatest Calling In Marriage

ByTim Nolte March 6, 2017

As Christian husband’s I think we easily fail to remember the greatest calling we have in our marriage. We can’t out-love God. Christ loved us so much that he died for us, and that’s the sort of love we are called to have for our wives. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her – Ephesians 5:25 NLT

“Don’t run ahead of God in your own strength, but rather trust Him to show you the solution.” I think this is one area that, as Christ followers, we all struggle with at times.

Full Days…

ByTim Nolte December 6, 2005

So I didn’t really get off to a good start this morning. Basically my whole sleeping schedule has been thrown off. Tomorrow I will be forcing myself to get up when the alarm goes off. The day turned out pretty excellent however. The Bible study I had with a couple of youth guys really revealed a wrong attitude I had about the weekend coming up. I find it can be frustrating to see people treat others with such disrespect, especially when we are talking about Christians. I guess it is easy to hold Christians up to a higher standard. This is right and wrong. While we should expect Christian to be doing what’s right in the eyes of the Lord, we also need to show…

Designed For Relationships

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. – Proverbs 27:17 NLT We weren’t meant to do this life alone. I’m thankful that God has brought my wife and may close friends into my life.

Prayer, Faith, And Taking My Temperature

ByTim Nolte July 21, 2017

“Faith is acting like something is so even when it is not so in order that it might be so simply because God said so.” — “Kingdom Prayer: Touching Heaven to Change Earth” by Tony Evans I’m not sure what I was all thinking about at the time I created this draft post but these words from the book are so excellent. Checking where my faith is at is a weekly, if not daily, thing.
