Off the Record
I am Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to ask if you think anything you say is off the record? Are there times when the words you speak, or the things you write are private, and cannot be exposed for others to hear or see? Let me assure you that we…

Believe without Seeing
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to ask, what do you need to see before you will believe? How often do we hear people say, “I won’t believe unless I see it with my own eyes?” In fact, that is exactly what Thomas said, when the others reported they had…

A Welcome Addiction
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to speak with you about a welcome addiction. Yes, we all have addictions. I have friends who cannot get the day started without those two cups of coffee. Now, I broke that habit some years ago, but still love to get near the smell…

Always Be Another One
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute, I want to assure you there will always be another one. You are probably asking, “Another what?” Well, there will always be another problem, test, challenge or discouraging event to face. That is just the way life is, especially when you are in the will of…

Don’t Tell God…
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to share something that is certainly not original with me, but it is well worth repeating. Here it is. Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell your storm how big your God is. Matthew 8:23-26 (NKJV) says, “Now when He got…

One Part Joy
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to give you a recipe for a taste of the good life. Get a pen. You might want to write this down. Start with one part joy. It puts strength into the mix (as long as it’s the joy of the Lord). Then add…

Treasure or Trash?
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask you to take a look at what’s in your heart. Is there anything there that you covet as a treasure, but it’s really trash ? Think about it. Ask yourself, if what you have given a treasured place in your heart is…

You will Never Know
You’ll never know if you never go. I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want to ask if you were called to go, but have insisted that it had to fit into what you established as your convenient, self-serving, self-assuring timetable. I know that sounds harsh, but is it possible you might…

Fruit that bears Fruit
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a mentoring minute I want to share a thought with an eternal perspective. In John 15:16 (NKJV), Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the…

God Glorified, Devil Horrified!
I’m Dr. Bob. For just a mentoring minute, I want to ask, do you know what horrifies the devil? The next time you find your family, your job, your health or your finances threatened, do not give the devil an inch, not one inch! Instead, seize the opportunity to give God the glory, in the…
