Christ Was Love
This is my Christmas Mentoring Minute. Unlike the others, I did not prepare it before I spoke it. I wanted it to come from my heart to yours. It is all about the true meaning of Christmas. (more…)

Not Broken, Not Removed… Destroyed!
I want to make it perfectly clear that God will go far beyond breaking or simply removing whatever has you bound. He will utterly destroy it! (more…)

Mary had a Little Lamb
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to remind you of a child’s poem with which you may be familiar. It is called, “Mary had a little lamb.” I often wonder if its author had another little Lamb in his or her heart when this poem was written. (more…)

Spiritual Junkyard
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to talk a little trash with you. I recently heard someone’s life described as a spiritual junkyard. It was a life tragically used up and rejected because of sinful, destructive behaviors and habits. The person’s life was trashed, seemingly destined for a forgotten, wasted ending. But, even in a junkyard, someone will come looking for just the right thing and buy, repair and restore it. God is always looking for someone to redeem, restore and renew. He will turn yesterday’s carnal trash into tomorrow’s spiritual treasure. I’m Dr. Bob. Luke 1:68 in the Amplified Bible says, “Blessed (praised and extolled and thanked) be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has come and brought deliverance and redemption to His people!” Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.

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, in which God says, “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.” God is advertising that in His economy, you can buy an abundance of what will spiritually and eternally satisfy you, without spending any money. It is like an offer of a divine unlimited debit card from your heavenly Father. What it buys is far better than all the earthly goods you could accumulate. All it requires is your love for Him and your faithful commitment to Him.
