Snake Talk
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, let me warn you about “snake talk.” In Genesis, Chapter 3, the serpent deceived Eve. She joined with him in “snake talk,” allowing the snake to call God a liar. This put doubt in Eve’s heart. She opened herself up to the deception and the deception…

Humble or Grumble?
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to suggest that it is better to be humble than to grumble. Often we complain about something by saying, “It’s not fair;” or “I don’t deserve this?” Like me, you probably have said the same thing more than you would care to admit.…

Desperation, Perspiration, then Rest
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to invite you to consider this: Desperation in a stressful situation can take two paths. The first leads to panic, poor decisions and lots of work that only brings frustration and failure. I heartily recommend the second path, which is to let your…

Tolerance? NO!
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to set the record straight about the deception of tolerance. We live in a society that demands a standard of absolute tolerance for everyone who lives by their own rules, while doing their own thing. Is this good? Are we to accept tolerance? Do…

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to expose a nasty game, we all have played, and perhaps still play far too often. It is the devil’s name game. He loves to play it with you. Let me explain. Satan takes perverted pleasure in trying to get you to embrace certain…

Don’t Surrender Your Honor
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to caution young people who might be listening. Actually, it’s good for old guys like me too. Proverbs 5:8-9 warns us not to surrender our honor. If you do, three things will happen. First, you will fight a sense of guilt and shame for…

Candy Wrappers
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to talk to you about candy wrappers… yes, candy wrappers. Candy makers spare no expense to create the most enticing wrappers possible for their candies. They do this so you will so greatly desire what’s hidden inside the package, that you will purchase it…

Unwrap the Package
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to ask if you ever received a gift and tried to guess what it was before you unwrapped it, only to find out your guess was way off? I want to encourage you to take the wrappings off the package before you make any…

Touched by Feelings, Moved by Faith
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to ask if you are easily moved by your feelings, but not so easily by your faith? It’s common and even popular in today’s world for most people to go with their feelings. We are not often interested in taking advice from others, or…

Fly Out or Fry Out
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to talk to you about birds in the chimney. I used to live in the northern part of the United States. We had a fireplace in which we burned wood on cold winter days. This never happened to me, but I heard about someone…
