Life, Ministry, and The Gospel

About

To describe me is to begin with the fact that I am, of first importance, a Christ-follower. I first yielded my life to Jesus as a nine-year-old boy. Unfortunately, I was not really taught what it means to follow Jesus beyond going to church, saying my prayers and avoiding bad music, bad language and bad girls. Not until my twenties did anyone really invest in helping me develop into a committed follower of Jesus, on mission in the world.

But what about Resolutions in 2025??

As we anticipate the New Year, it is not inappropriate to update our resolutions. I know, I know…resolutions can be a crazy process. I can’t tell you how many times I have sworn them off. Usually it is because of the little voice in the back of my head that reminds me...

The Lesson of the Lot

Redemption is NOT…

28“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (NASB95) Growing up, I have early memories of my parents teaching me about sin. Not “how to” sin…because I already had an advanced degree in the subject. My parents tried...

The Devil in a Red Dress- Proverbs 7

Have you ever heard a sad tale of a Christian who blew it? Maybe as you heard the story, you asked yourself, “How could anyone fall for that?” I have certainly asked that question. On both sides: As it relates to others and with myself, “How could I fall for such a...

Power and Peace- Psalm 29

A dad was once trying to explain the vastness of God to his five-year-old daughter. In a fashion that was both cute and revealing, she posed the question, “If God is so big and I am so small, how can He fit in my heart?” Therein lies the question that has perplexed...
