Where Are You?

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want you to consider three questions. Here’s the first question. It was God’s question to Adam. He asked, “Where are you?” We know God knew Adam’s location. There was a deeper meaning. The question exposed the problem. Adam had sinned and now his relationship with [...]

A Sugar-Free God

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask if you treat God as if He was like a drink on a fast-food menu – a sugar-free God. We can be like a person who drives to a fast food restaurant, orders a double cheeseburger with a large order of fries, [...]

Happy Lips

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask if you would like to know a valuable secret? Sure you would! Everyone likes a secret, especially one as valuable as this. The secret is… happy lips! Yes, happy lips! Psalm 63:3-5 says, “Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips [...]

Just Because - One More Thing

I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute I want to add one more thing to my previous thoughts on the subject of “Just Because.” I cannot let it go without encouraging you that you ought to add a significant truthful revelation from Scripture to your answer when you are asked,  “Why you follow [...]

Just Because

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I have a question. Have you ever been asked why you do what you do? I have and there have been many times my answer to this question was, “Just because!” I am guessing you have said the same thing. When anyone asks you why you [...]

Duck in, duck out

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask how you would describe your attitude when you go to church? Do you come because of a sense of obligation? Do you attend just because your family does? If this or other similar reasons are the case, you are probably just ducking [...]

Change Your Filters

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I’d like to ask if you find yourself making too many bad decisions? If so, it may be time to change your filters. Perhaps you need something different to filter your thoughts through. Try installing the principles of James 3:13-17 as the filter for what you [...]

The Rest of the Story

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to talk about the rest of the story. Have you ever been totally in the dark, without a clue about what’s coming next or how things are going to end? I have found myself there many times. What I learned is that I may [...]

Self-service Society

It seems that more and more of us place high value being independent from rules and restraints. We hate lines and we have learned to do everything ourselves. We no longer need the services of salespeople, librarians or others who used to be there to care for our needs. Everything in the world around us [...]

Buy One, Get One Free

I’m Dr. Bob. For just a mentoring minute, I want to admit to you that I love to shop. When I see an ad offering a “Buy one – Get one free” sale, I am easily attracted to it. However, I discovered an even better deal in the Bible! It is found in Isaiah 55:1, [...]
