The great golf instructor Harvey Penick was asked by one of his students, “Help me to get out of the sandtraps.” Harvey replied, “I’ll eventually teach you that. But first, I’ll teach you how to stay out of the sandtraps.”Life is full of traps. Some we see and still walk into them, others are unseen and we’re surprised when we’re captured by them. Regardless of whether we are caught or not, they are all around us every day.The first trap right now is making New Year’s resolutions instead of starting new habits.Habits are the fuel of your day. And a habit...

Skip that New Year’s resolution. Here’s what to do instead. Paul told the Galatians, “You were made for freedom – why are you putting yourself under the law again?” Resolutions have the unmistakable fragrance of the law.

Recently, the great American football announcer and CMN friend James Brown, who is known as “JB,” told me something that surprised me about his friendship with NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White.Reggie was known as “The Minister of Defense,” for his outstanding play and Christian witness. When Reggie left for heaven, Reggie’s wife Sarah gave JB one of Reggie’s prize classic cars. What this reminds me of, is the intimate relationship that names signify.We read in Matthew the first chapter that an angel told Joseph to name his son “Jesus,” which means “Deliverer.” Matthew then recalls Isaiah prophesying that Jesus...
