However, he was anything but unconcerned with the politics of ...

Milton Friedman, for example, populariz…

Recorded May 2, 2004 Bob recalls his early days growing up on a 300 acre dairy farm in W. NY state, where he learned about the soil, gardening, and farming. It was a transition time for farmers -from horses to tractors. Many changes from a corn planter they had that was 8’ wide to ones now that are 35’ wide and plant 25 acres an hour. Jesus used ma…

Recorded April 13, 2003 Our grandson, Henry, 5 at the time, often would say “Guess what, Grandpa!”, then answer his own question. Bob uses that phrase often in this message on John 15.

Recorded March 13, 1988 Pascal said “All men seek happiness.” It is found only in God Himself. As C. S. Lewis said, “God finds great pleasure in seeing us happy.” Our delight in the Lord will increase as we are fed by God’s Word, follow the leading of His Spirit, and spread God’s Good News. Ends with a thought provoking poem by Tim Hansel: “Pedal.”…

Date: 8/22/04 A humorous start as Bob shares how he grew up with the Lone Ranger and how he rode his horse on his farm trying to bring that character into his life. Today we live in a world of fantasy--unrestrained imagination. We forget reality and the laws of nature. When Jesus walked on water to where the disciples were struggling in a storm, we…

Date: 6/15/03 What do fathers think about on Father's Day? A lot about memories, and he asked several men to share (they were not on the microphone so difficult to hear). Bob gives advice beginning with being as positive as you can be to anticipate your children's next stage of life. Fathers should demonstrate a strong relational quality to give co…

Date: 7/13/03 Matthew 5: "You are the light of the world--let your light shine so they will praise your Father in heaven." Jesus left a powerful impact on His culture.

Date: 1/22/03 Bob shares the challenge of the harvest on a farm (knowing when the harvest is ready) and how it applies to the importance of reaching out to our harvest--lost people.

Date: 12/8/02 Just as we sing lullabies to our children to put them to sleep, Bob feels that Christians are being rocked to sleep concerning what Christmas is all about.

Date: 8/18/02 In what are you confident? Confidence is a firm belief, trust, reliance, certainty, and assurance. Jesus said, "Come and follow Me."

Also, ways you can see or experience the Royal Gorge. Do…

Date: 7/7/02 Comparing the renovation of a house to the renovation of our heart, Bob starts by sharing steps that must be made to turn a "handyman special" into your dream home.
