A pastor at heart, Chuck has served as senior pastor to congregations in Texas, Massachusetts, and California.

The pressures of life can seem overwhelming. Sixty-hour workweeks. Razor-thin balances in the chequebook every month. Children who demand unending boundless bursts of energy. You’ve been there? Me too.
At the zenith of His career, Jesus pulled away to the secluded area of Caesarea Philippi. On His mind was a crucial question for His disciples—and for us as well. Travel back with me to the scene as it unfolds.
As you consider a gift for dad when his special day comes around, look him in the eye or call him on the phone and give him the gift he needs more than anything. Give him your love.
Do not get so busy doing for Christ that you neglect being with Christ. Love is the greatest thing, but for it to thrive, it must be the main thing...in your walk...in your witness...in your worship.
Listen, this Bible of ours is full and running over with promises and encouragements directly related to the return of our Lord Christ. I just checked. It’s not just hinted at; it’s highlighted. It’s an obvious theme of New Testament truth.
Jesus didn’t limit His Great Commission to a certain class of spectacular Christians who had “arrived.” His command and promise are for all Christians who are maturing and walking in pursuit of His calling.
Humanly speaking, the natural thing for Jesus to have done was pray for God’s rescue. He had His Father’s ear. A two-second appeal would have put “thousands of angels” at His disposal (Matthew 26:53). Instead, He felt sorrow and had pity.
The longer I live, the more convinced I become of how easy it is to allow irretrievable moments to slip away. Regardless of our demanding schedules and in spite of our many responsibilities, we need to treasure those precious moments our children offer.
