Bob's Corner

Are you in a difficult situation? Do you want to get out? Wait a minute; not so fast. Sometimes when life is hard, we clearly need to make a change. But sometimes - the trial is part of God's plan. Listen to this message. Pray. Consider. With care for you, --Bob

You may be a Christian... and this may be the most important message I've recorded...

Have you ever made a choice, expecting good results - and then it backfired? You're not stuck with those choices, you know. Choose something else! Listen and learn how to get the satisfaction that could be yours.

Have you ever been in the middle of a problem and thought, "What do I do now?" Three things need to come together: time, wisdom, and self-discipline. Jesus wants to help you get started.

You spend a lot of time with someone, and you think you know all about him or her, and then something happens that makes you realize, "There are things about this person that I don't know."

That happens to me in my relationship with Jesus. I start to get comfortable. I think I've got Him figured out. And then I read the gospels again, and in some old, familiar passage - I'm taken by surprise. I learn something new about Jesus!

Today I want to share with you some of the things I've learned about Jesus.

Non-Christians and ex-Christians are right. Christianity is shot through with materialism, apathy, prejudice, and elitism. Some of us Christians are calling for reform! It's time to live your life so that it reminds people of Jesus.

Very personal - my prayer for the listener. Play this prayer at your next women's group or Bible study, then pray for each other. Share this prayer with others. I'm posting two versions: "A Prayer For Him" and "A Prayer For Her." Either one can be prayed for men or women; just change the pronouns so it applies to you! With care for you, --Bob

Have you been missing the real purpose of prayer? Prayer isn't for your benefit; God is for your benefit. In prayer, we give our complete and undivided attention to God. This week, you will be challenged to pray differently.

Remember the Bible stories you learned as a kid? Well, adults can learn stuff from those stories, too. In fact, there are lessons in those stories that the kids can't even begin to understand... Revive yourself with a fresh look at some old stories!

This edition is about living a balanced life and filling in the gaps. (If you don't need to listen to this -- you know someone who does! He or she will thank you for forwarding the link.)

"What happened?" Life takes crazy turns. Sometimes we are surprised to discover that we have been blind. Fortunately, Jesus helps us to see clearly through His eyes of compassion and wisdom.

Why did Jesus teach with parables? Because a good story is a great way to get our attention! Here are some modern parables, designed to teach ancient truth.
