“There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 16:25) We were driving in San Francisco on Market Street (some buddies and I). The problem was the guy at the wheel (my best friend) had been drinking. The problem on top of that was something […]

God Uses Twitter, Too?! (Conference Speech-Part 2)

(My Twitter conference speech conclusion. Part 1: click here) 7. And then now finally, probably the one “connection” I remember most is Jennifer Johns (@goingbyfaith in California).

Is May 21, 2011 the Day? (Christ vs Camping)

“‘But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.’” (Matthew 24:36) Pack your bags. Cash it in. Liquidate. It’s over. Done.
