In Western culture there isn’t any direct evidence of the devil, which means he either isn’t real or he is really good at convincing people he’s not. Of course, when I claim there isn’t any direct evidence, I don’t mean I expect him to go around announcing (in silly voice), “I’m the devil. Let’s … [Read more...]
The Servant Generation: Why Today’s Parents Lack
This title is a general statement that is used to express the overall problem with our culture (at least in the GTA), and not meant to insult anyone specifically... minus one person; you know who you are (that’s my attempt at being funny and not actually being accusatory). In fact, I have met some … [Read more...]
Honor Your Parents (the lost commandment)
This past year I’ve had one verse constantly popping in my head: “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life...” (Exo 20:12a) If you didn’t know, this is one of the 10 Commandments, which are given twice in the Old Testament because they’re that important. They’re usually … [Read more...]
The Most Important Commonality between Men & Women (Pt 6: Differences between men & women)
What I’m about to claim may seem a little Christian-y (although the text I’m considering is also used by Jews and Muslims).

The Different Modes of Women (Pt 4: Differences between men & women)
In the first part of this series, I looked at the 5 Modes of a Guy – it’s pretty basic and easy to follow. Today we’ll look at the Modes of a Woman – not so basic or easy to follow. Women are more complex because, as I noted last week, they can be the nicest or meanest people you meet. To add to … [Read more...]
The 5 Types of Women (Pt 3: Differences between men & women)
Understanding how men and women are different can save a relationship because it helps give us fair expectations of each other. The last two weeks I’ve looked at the five modes of a guy and the five types of guys. Breaking down how a man works is pretty easy. Women... are more complex – shocker. … [Read more...]
The 5 Categories of Men (Pt 2: A Common Problem for Couples)
Last week I broke down guys into five basic modes: Playful, Middle Ground, Serious, Upset, and Explosive. In general, people want to feel understood, which means misinterpreting what category a guy is in leads to us moving down to a worse category. For instance, if you’re Serious and you’re … [Read more...]
