  • The Vice President’s Son Died, And I Think Nobody Noticed

    The internet has exploded once again, thanks to Bruce Jenner’s interview in Vanity Fair where he laid out his decision to identify as a woman named Caitlin. There have been articles, tweets, and “Open Letter To…” blog posts that Jenner will never read. My twitter timeline became a long list of what people are against. Vice…

  • The Bible: How Was It Written?

    We’ve discussed what the Bible is, now we’ll touch on how it was written. Direct Revelation. This has to do with those instances where God speaks audibly, literally and directly to one of the writers in Scripture. A specific example of this would be found in the book of Revelation, where God tells the Apostle…

  • The Bible: What Is It?

    The Bible is a centerpiece of Christianity. As Christians, we believe all the words contained in the Bible are true. The Bible is the source of all Christian doctrine, including how we qualify many pastors and leaders, as well as for the personal growth of every individual’s faith. As Christians working to share the message…

  • Quote of the Week: C.H. Spurgeon

    “If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing; go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy; your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms; and your need is the motive for heavenly goodness. Go as…

  • Parked On Empty

    Tell me this is completely crazy. I mean, clearly nobody would do this. Imagine that someone drove their car all over town for a few days. They went to the beach, went to a few stores, stopped home, and picked up some friends. They went out to eat, drove to church, and even got stuck…

  • The Do’s and Don’ts of Small Groups (Full Version)

    My readers provided some very positive feedback about my previous series “The Do’s and Don’ts of Small Groups” so here are all five blog entries in one, single location.  The Do’s and Don’ts of Small Groups: DON’T: Share everybody’s personal information. When I friend you on Facebook, it doesn’t mean I want to buy Pampered Chef…

  • Quote Of The Week: Bono Talks About Jesus

    “The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world, so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death. That’s the point. It should keep us humbled . It’s not our own good works…

  • Do’s And Don’ts of Small Groups (1 of 5)

    The Do’s and Don’ts of Small Groups: DON’T: Share everybody’s personal information. When I friend you on Facebook, it doesn’t mean I want to buy Pampered Chef from you, sell Mary Kay, or join your online business. And I really don’t want your friends to contact me either for a presentation, 15 minute video, or to…

  • It Doesn’t Always Make Sense…

    I recently started a new reading plan on my phone’s YouVersion app (which I highly recommend). While reading about Moses in Exodus, a familiar story stood out to me: “Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under…

  • Text Messages

    Did you ever experience that moment when you receive a text message from someone obviously meant for someone else? Most of us can relate; we get a message that was supposed to be from one friend to another friend, or even better, one friend to their spouse. Sometimes it takes us a minute to understand what is…
