Democratized Faith

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

This article has been on my heart for a long time, and I hope that it is as good as it sounds in my head.  For I fear that my time away from daily writing has deeply impacted my ability to clearly convey a point as poignant as this.  So ...

Happy Helloween

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

We are at that time of the year again for the holiday known as Halloween.  It is not possible to write an article on this subject without offending someone, so please before I am condemned as a heretic, Satan worshiper, or (not this) Right-wing radical conservative killjoy Christian, please here ...

The Tears of God

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

I have asked the question of many people: Which ministry is harder, Children’s or Addiction Recovery?  Usually I hear back that addition recovery is harder for various reasons.  These reasons are all valid: people are set in the ways, they are not always looking for help, the power of addiction, ...

A Debased Culture

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

This is a sermon that I delivered related to the last post on this blog.  It moves more to the scripture talking about Elijah and how he confronted the culture.  Next, I challenged the students to follow the Word of God.

The Double Standard

Friday, November 20th, 2009

    We are in grave times.  Of course I knew that long ago, but things have been brooding in my mind and heart for a while now.  I am kept so busy that I can rarely have a few minutes to myself.  I am not sure when this began, but I ...

Obedient Christian Living

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

One of the things that bothers me the most is to see people who profess to be Christians, but fail horribly at living the life.  The Bible is quite clear about the role of Christian Living.  This sermon is about that topic coming from Ephesians 4.  It was given to ...

Pure Religion

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

My favorite verse in the whole of scripture would have to be James 1:27.  It says, "Pure and Undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world."  There is a lot in ...

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Here is a nice sermon that I delivered to students at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at our local community college. This one is related to a message by Chip Ingram which I referenced in the article "Trained to Kill". Enjoy.

Sick of the Political Christians!!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Well, it has been a while since I have posted, and even longer since I sat down to write a new post, but my heart is full with a problem that I perceive.  I do not follow politics a whole lot, particularly what the news media pushes all the time.  ...

The Shack – A Meeting that will Change Your Life

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Suppose there is a book endorsed as a having "the potential to do our generation what John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress did for his." We would assume the presence of a book that Christians would want to flock to for some keen insights. Well, that book is being flocked ...
