“And again He (Christ) took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him, saying, ‘Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over […]
Help For When Your Ship’s (Life’s) Falling Apart
September 15, 2010 by
“[T]hey used supporting cables in undergirding the ship.” (Acts 27:17a) It happens to all of us. We experience situations in life that try our souls/squeeze us to the very depth of our beings. It could be a job loss or cancer or the sudden death of a loved one or friend – you name it […]
Abused By Church? (8 Questions to Ask)
September 13, 2010 by
The Catholic Church is under assault and for good reason. They have turned a blind eye (in some ways) to the problem of sexual abuse among their clergy. That’s not the kind of abuse I want to talk about here. Instead, I want to point to areas where a person might not think it’s (quote) […]
On Burning, the Koran and Pastors Who Lose Their Way
September 9, 2010 by
“And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver (1 million dollars).” (Acts 19:19) Islam is a false religion. It leads people away from faith in the living […]
Clean
September 7, 2010 by
I was applying for a job that required a print out of my driving record. That’s when I got nervous. You see, I hadn’t been enjoying the best of driving careers (to put it mildly). Yes, I’d been pulled over for speeding. Yes, I’d gotten in a few accidents (well, maybe more than a few). […]

An Attitude of Worship
September 2, 2010 by
“And David was dancing (twirling around and leaping) before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.” (2 Samuel 6:14) I want to talk to you about worship. It’s really what the verse above is all about along with it’s surrounding context. (2 Samuel 6:12-16; 20-23) In this passage we […]
Paid in Full
August 31, 2010 by
“It is finished!” (John 19:30) It was with those three words that Jesus Christ declared mankind’s redemption accomplished. There’s nothing more that can be added. There’s nothing more that need be done. Our sins are forgiven (if we believe). Our eternal destiny is secure (we are headed to heaven when this life is through). And […]
Chewed Up and Spit Out (A Rant)
August 30, 2010 by
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Of course, what do I know? My sphere of influence and group of contacts is very small. I know that. And I also know it’s so easy to make overall generalizations that may or may not true. Nevertheless, I think there’s something here. The disturbing trend I’m referring to is […]
A Prayer for Restoring Honor
August 27, 2010 by
There’s a rally on the Washington Mall this weekend. (Watch live: HERE) It’s centering around a return to values, a return to morality and goodness, a return to God. We’ve gotten off track in America. It’s evident to everyone. And it’s also evident that it’s beyond our own human ability to recover. We need help. […]
