I recently had an opportunity to speak at a Chapel service in a State Penitentiary. It is something I have truly begun to love to do. The topic was a something that I think American Christianity is really struggling with as a whole right now. It all started with someone quoting Romans 10:9 “ If… Read More »
Loneliness
I think it might be time to begin to go deeper in the problems we are facing as a society. We have more people, things to do and information, than at any time in history. However, people are more alone than ever before also. I believe that this all started when we began to stereotype… Read More »
Government or God?
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 »
The God Shaped Hole
For me I find nothing of value other than the work Jesus did on the Cross. It is because of that cross, that everything that the world has to offer is becoming less interesting, all the while the world becomes more agitated about what I am doing. Galatians 6:14 Neal’s Interpretation One of the… Read More »
Fighting Right
I have been wanting to get started writing again for a while. I have so many thoughts that keep coming up in my day to day world. One of the things that I have struggled with in my past blog post is dealing with and venting anger for the direction the world is going, and… Read More »
Living like Mary instead of Martha
But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 My life is a lot like Martha… This week especially has been… Read More »
Fix It!
I am a Fixer. I am just beginning to truly understand this part of me. I am also beginning to realize that this is a blessing, which as with all blessings can become a curse. That part is up to me. As a Fixer I see the world in a certain way. Everything is a… Read More »
Jesus Makes a Mess
Jesus pretty much made a mess from the time He was conceived on this earth. From the very beginning Jesus’ life was challenging to the status quo, and made things dicey for all that were involved with Him. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and a young woman, named Mary. Mary was betrothed to… 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 »
Crazy
It is interesting to me that at one point the Church, and Christians in general were considered to be crazy. The name “Christians” first appeared in Antioch and from what I understand was actually a slam. It was basically a rude term for the people that believed in Christ. In its literal translation the word… Read More »
