“‘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 […]
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). […]
Just One Sin
August 24, 2010 by
It won’t matter. It won’t hurt. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it’s just a drop in the bucket. Sure it is. No one’s gonna know. How could they? Who’s gonna tell them? If I look at that magazine. If I watch that show. If I buy that item. If I see that […]
Darkness to Light (my testimony)
June 18, 2010 by
I was living in darkness. I was headed for disaster. I had a drug problem. I had a drinking problem. I was out of control. Then came the freeway crash. But more than that. Someone in heaven reached down. Someone (Christ!) reached down and lifted me out. He opened my blind eyes. He unstopped my […]
Virus (Heart) Scan
June 13, 2010 by
When was the last time you ran a virus scan on your computer? I don’t know about you, but I get lazy. Here’s what I mean. I’ve got so much going on that I keep putting off scanning my computer for viruses for another day. “Well, with Twitter and Facebook and blogging and video blogging […]
In Memory of Zion

Pastor Mike shares his original worship chorus about the Jewish captivity long ago. Is America headed that way?
The Only Hope for a Tiger is a Lion
February 20, 2010 by
I listened to Tiger Woods’ apology for his adulteries (as some of you might have). He said he was sorry for hurting his wife. He said he was sorry for hurting his mother. He said he was sorry for hurting his fans. He said he was in rehab. He said he would never do it […]
7 Men, 4 Women, 10 Sins
January 10, 2010 by
Some people believe humankind is ultimately good at its core. The problem is that’s not what the Bible says. Romans 3:10 can’t be more clear: “There is none righteous, not even one.” Jeremiah goes on: “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) Isaiah continues: […]
6 Points of Prayer for Your Pastor
October 21, 2009 by
I saw Jimmy Swaggart on TV the other day. And you may or may not know of his moral failure (sin) a couple of decades ago (except for the grace of God there go I), but it can happen with men in the pulpit. Just like us they can succumb to temptation, too. Oh, I […]
Hurting Over The Hurt
February 13, 2007 by
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30;KJV) I was having a conversation with my kids the other evening. And we were talking about how my son way back when he was five years old (he’s thirteen now) made his momma cry. I had […]
