Why Faith Fails
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to explain why your faith might sometimes fail you. Perhaps there have been times it has failed you, and you could not make sense out of it. You prayed in earnest. You stood on your faith. You believed it would come to pass.…

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…
