When Death Calls
September 30, 2010 by
I’d just talked to her at church the day before. She was the last one to leave and she told me of a song on her heart. So when the phone rang and the caller said, “She’s dead,” I hung up in disbelief. “Huh? It can’t be true.” I ran out the door and drove […]
Sins Of A Sexual Kind
September 29, 2010 by
“‘But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.’” (Matthew 5:28) Ted Haggard. Tiger Woods. Bishop Eddie Long. All three have something in common. (Long’s situation is still coming to light as of this writing.) Sex sins. Whether you’re […]
So You Want To Start a Bible Study, Do You?
September 27, 2010 by
So you want to start a Bible study? (Maybe?) And let’s just say ~ with a focus on men in particular. (Sorry ladies. Check out @LifeVerse for that.)

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 […]
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). […]
