		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to give you what could be some timely advice. Here it is. Don’t avoid the water. What am I saying? Well, let me take you back to the days of Elijah. One day a great and powerful warrior knocked on Elijah’s door. His name was Naaman and he was afflicted with leprosy. All Naaman’s might, power and authority could not help him. He came looking for a miracle. Elijah would not even see him, but sent instructions through Gahazi, his servant to go wash in the river. Naanman was furious. He wanted his miracle and he wanted it his way. Have you known anyone like that? …After a lot of angry complaining, Naaman humbled himself and obeyed. When he went into the water, God’s healing touch cleansed him of his leprosy. What am I saying? Sometimes you have to surrender your pride to obedience and let God do things His way. Perhaps your miracle needs a bit of humility to put it into motion? If you know Christ, you have already been washed in His miracle-working blood. Now go wash off your pride. You might find your miracle is just on the other side of your obedience. I’m Dr. Bob. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com and let me know how your swim in obedience felt.

		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to assure you that you do not need someone to affirm the quality of your driving. Just drive your bus. The people will be waiting. Let them on. Let them off. Just focus on the task to which God has called you. Yes, there will be times when you are stopped by a red light. Just relax and wait for the green. It will surely come. When it does, just drive the bus. There will be other times when it seems you are stuck in a traffic jam and cannot move. Just relax and wait for things to clear up. You will get to your destination and will help many others do the same. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (mailto:Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com) and just relax, drive the bus, and let me know about the route to which you have been assigned.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to give you a recipe for a taste of the good life. Get a pen. You might want to write this down. Start with one part joy. It puts strength into the mix (as long as it&#039;s the joy of the Lord). Then add a pinch of faith in Jesus. It will sweeten the mix (especially when you find yourself in a pinch). Finally, get some of God&#039;s love and add as much of it as you can. Blend these three ingredients together. Now you have a recipe for happiness, contentment and an opportunity to affect your world for Christ. Why? Because joy, faith and love are all you need to experience the goodness of God, working miracles in and around your life. Joy, faith and love make a tasty, satisfying combination. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. If you want even a little more sweetness, sprinkle the mix liberally with hope. Then, you can say, &quot;Why so downcast O my soul, put your hope in God (Psalm 42:11). If you have another good suggestion to add to the mix, contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (../) and share your recipe for a good life in Christ with me.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask you to take a look at what&#039;s in your heart. Is there anything there that you covet as a treasure, but it’s really trash ? Think about it. Ask yourself, if what you have given a treasured place in your heart is of eternal value. Is it precious to God? Does it bless others when you reveal it? Or, is what you have considered treasure actually of no value because it does not glorify God. Is it hiding its stink behind self-justification or stubbornness? Take an honest whiff of it. Would it be a sweet aroma in the nostrils of God, or would it actually stink like yesterday&#039;s fish? Sometimes we fool ourselves into calling something treasure that is really trash. Don&#039;t let yourself be fooled. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (../) and tell me about your treasure. Just dump your trash.

I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask if you were called to go, but have insisted that it had to fit into what you established as your convenient, self-serving, self-assuring timetable. I know that sounds harsh, but is it possible you might find you waited too long and required too much? Many are called and wait to long. They never realize the great gift of destiny that God had prepared for them. If you are reluctant to go, you will never know what could have been your destiny. You will only wonder at what might have been and should have been. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. If you want to know, you&#039;ve got to go. Contact me at Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com (mailto:Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com) and we can talk about all you can know, if only you’ll go.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute I want to share a thought with an eternal perspective. In John 15:16 (NKJV), Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” Jesus spoke of fruit should remain. Take it up a notch and consider the value of “fruit that remains… and becomes fruitful.” Consider the fruit tree that drops its fruit and the seeds become more fruit trees, that drop more fruit, as they continue the pattern, producing even more fruit trees. I once visited a pastor I had trained. When he introduced me to his congregation of new believers, he said, “Pastor Bob, I want to introduce you to your spiritual grandchildren.” Do you see my point? What a feeling it was to see the fruit of my earlier efforts produce more fruit into the next generations! I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Write me at  Dr.Bob@mentoringministry.com and let me know that what I shared is fruitful for your future.

		<itunes:summary>I’m Dr. Bob. For just a mentoring minute, I want to ask, do you know what horrifies the devil? The next time you find your family, your job, your health or your finances threatened, do not give the devil an inch, not one inch! Instead, seize the opportunity to give God the glory, in the midst of your story. No matter how bleak it may appear to be, giving glory to God can cause heaven to move mountains on your behalf. What a strategic time to praise Him. Have faith in God. You will walk out the other side with a God-glorifying, devil-horrifying testimony. Every time you tell what the Lord has done, it’s like hitting old slew foot in the head with a large rock. Yes, you will be a winner and a champion when you begin your testimony when the battle announces itself and begins its attack. You will prove by your faith that you are a winner and a champion. You will make the devil’s neck your footstool. I’m Dr. Bob. Write me at www.mentoringministry.com and declare the goodness of God.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to encourage you to ask God for just a little bit more - to be just a little bit more like Him, and to have just a little bit more of Him. Yes, He has no problem with your asking. It is as good a prayer as there is, because His desire is that you be as much like Him as possible. Here is my suggestion. Let your request be focused on the things that will give you more of God, more godly discernment, more spiritual understanding and more knowledge of His will for your life. It is a simple, yet incredibly mature, profound prayer. The Apostle Paul prayed it for his Colossian friends in Colossians 1:9-10. Take the time to study it. Pray it over yourself. You and those you love are the reason the Holy Spirit made sure this prayer made it into the Bible. It is a prayer worth praying. Make it a habit, every day, to pray it over yourself and those you love. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com (../) and I will agree with your prayer.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to encourage you to ask God to help you allow just a little bit less of those things He finds offensive into your life. What am I saying? Well, make your prayers specific. Ask Him to help you put off, or remove those things that hinder or prevent you from being just a little bit more like Him, every day, in every way. Start with this advice from the Apostle Paul. In Colossians 3:8 (NKJV), he wrote, “But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.” That is good, basic instruction to make some changes, so you can begin to experience a decrease in those things that have consistently been barriers to your blessings. I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Write me at www.mentoringministry.com (../) and let me know if I have encouraged you to grow, just a little bit less like the world and a little bit more like Jesus.

		<itunes:summary>I&#039;m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask you whether your thinking is just too little to take you, your hopes, your dreams and even your relationships from where they are to where they could be? What is there that holds you back from your destiny... or even just the ability to have peace in your life? I heard Dr. James Merrit say, “There are no conflicts too big to solve, just people too little to solve them.” You may need to surrender whatever keeps your life small, so God can make your life, your influence and your impact on others large. Submit to God. Surrender whatever keeps your thinking small. You will open your heart to a large portion of God’s wisdom. Then, you can take your place in the sun, because you took your place in the S-O-N, the Son of God. Be a person who grows in God until you shine for Him in a large, very bright way. Proverbs 24:3-4 says, “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; {4} By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.” Proverbs 4: 7-8 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. {8} Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.” I&#039;m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.
