Watch it Sail Away.
I want to talk to you about going to the dock and waiving goodbye to your sin. Now, this will require an explanation. John 1:29 (NKJV) says, “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (more…)

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…)

Living in the Jackpot
I want to share a decisive moment of truth that struck me in a powerful way. On the way to church, I was joking with my wife, Nancy, about hitting the jackpot in the lottery. No, I do not play the lottery! God is my source and (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…)

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 follow Christ, and why you are so committed to Him (and they will), you do not have to say, “Just because.” You have a far more significant answer. You can say, “Just because of who He is.” Or… how about adding, “and just because of what He has done for me.” Both of these answers are awesome door openers to help someone else turn and follow Him. I’m Dr. Bob. Write me at www.mentoringministry.com and share your testimony… just because it would be wonderful to hear from 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 in and then, as quickly as you can, ducking back out! Do not duck your opportunity. Take a chance. Open your heart to God’s life-giving Word to you. Come and sit. Soak it in. Then, you can pour it out. If you allow God’s Word to soak deeply into your heart every time you come to church, two things will happen. First, you will become someone you never imagined or hoped you could be. Second, you will find yourself pouring His Word out all over others, and they will experience what they otherwise never would have. They will be touched by the power of the living God. They, like you, will be changed forever. I’m Dr. Bob. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.

My Best Shoes
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to tell you about my best pair of shoes. I was out walking this morning. The rain had just stopped, there was a cool breeze and the Florida sun was shining. What a beautiful morning to be wearing my new walking shoes. They are the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever had. As I was walking, I could not help but be reminded that so many people in the world have no shoes… and what about those who have no feet? I realized I was not just walking in the s.u.n.shine; I was walking in the S.O.N.shine – which I call the favor of God. As I continued to walk, I heard the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit say to me, “Remember the best shoes I ever gave you? I spoke of them through Paul’s words in Ephesians, Chapter 6. They are the shoes of peace! If you will trust in Me, they will never wear out and will always fit you.” Why don’t you exercise with God’s walking shoes, the shoes of peace? I’m Dr. Bob. Ephesians 6:15, the International Children’s Bible says, “And on your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong.” Share this with someone who is need of these shoes. They are freely given to those who believe. Contact me at www.mentoringministry.com and let me know what you think.
