Believe me, friends, all I want for Israel is what’s best for Israel: salvation, nothing less. Romans 10:1 The Message I read the verse above and was hit by its practical message. Salvation is what’s best for people! It sounded so simple but I could not believe I had not heard or thought of [...]

The Following is a condensed version of a magazine article I wrote about the struggles of the slow pace at which spiritual growth occurs. “Why can’t it be easier?” is a thought that often crosses my mind when dealing with my own spiritual growth. In the past years my life has contained no shortage [...]

I have received a small amount of feedback on my book. There were two instances in particular where someone wrote me to disagree with something I said in the book. I want to use this post and the next to further address these issues. The first has to do with the nature and place of [...]

I entered church last Sunday no different than any other week, though I normally go on Thursdays now. Katy and I found some friends, found our seats, and sat down. When the music started I stood up and began to sing……..and that’s when it happened. During the first song I began to sense an atmosphere [...]

Like the last post, I would like to begin by posing a question. What comes to mind when you hear, or in this case read, the word repentance? When you hear repentance being discussed or a street corner preacher demanding you to do so before you are hit by that preverbal Mack truck, what reaction [...]

A couple months ago I was sitting in the back at one of our church’s baptismal services and I realized how much I was enjoying the service. I was there to volunteer and for the BBQ meal that followed, but part way through I realized that perhaps for the first time I was getting a [...]
