With the latest horrific act happening within our borders, especially within our school, I keep hoping that someone is going to get the point. Instead what I have seen is the same old arguments. Gun Control, Mental Health, Parenting, Drug Abuse and Personal Responsibility. Just so that everyone knows these conversations have been going on… Read More »
Not Religion but a Relationship
By far the majority of my life is based on Jesus. Most of the things that I put on Facebook, email about, think about or talk about are based on Jesus. The second most important thing in my life is my wife and family. The interesting thing is that in today’s society focusing on one… Read More »
Where is the Power?
Recently I talked to a pastor friend, and shared with him about the realization that God was calling me back to serve Him. His response was wondering if I had ever thought about going to Seminary.

Internal Cleaning!
1 Corinthians 5:12New Living Translation (NLT) 12” It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning.” A recent Man in the Mirror poll found that 6 out of 10 Christian men, including pastors, view pornography at least once a week.

The heartbreak that I feel today is because I got to… Read More »
