Have you ever been injured in church? I’m not talking about tripping on the steps or getting a splinter from the pew (we don’t use those anymore, but it fits). Rather, I’m talking about when the Pastor (shepherd) starts (quote) “throwing blows” from the pulpit. Here’s how it happens. The Pastor is upset over something. […]
Candidate for Antichrist – Part 1
July 28, 2010 by
He’ll be a politician ~ and a crafty one at that. (Revelation 17:12-13) He’ll be a literal military genius. (Revelation 13:4) He’ll be charismatic. He’ll be able to “wow” the crowds with his great speaking ability. (Daniel 7:8) (He’ll make Hitler look like an amateur.) He’ll be a “law breaker.” He’ll operate illegally. He’ll be […]
Dangerous
July 27, 2010 by
I once introduced myself to a friend of my daughter’s, “Hi. I’m dangerous. Nice to meet you.” And why not? Am I not supposed to be? Am I not supposed to be “dangerous” as a Christian? As a believer in Jesus Christ, I am lethal. I am toxic. I am radioactive (with the love of […]

July 21, 2010 by
“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20) I love that verse. It’s a great story to begin with, but when you add to that how […]

Miracle Boy
July 12, 2010 by
No one could tie a tighter knot if they tried. Except this wasn’t yarn, a string or a piece of rope. It was an umbilical cord. I remember glancing at it just moments after our son was born. The doctor was saying, “This just doesn’t happen. This is a miracle. This is a miracle boy.” […]
The Crazy Story of When I Gave My Cats Away
July 11, 2010 by
I was signed up to go to Bible school. The problem was I had to move out of my apartment, across town and give my two cats away. The first was named: “Pepper” (she was black) and the second was named: “Danielle” (after the book of Daniel in the Bible). I put an ad in […]

I want to talk to you about faith in a two-part blog post series. You’ve probably purchased something that was defective before. To be defective means there’s a flaw with whatever it is you bought. Right? There’s something wrong with it to cause it not to function as it said it on the box it […]
