Because of all the feedback and questions I got on facebook the last few days I want to add more to the conversation I started in my last post. In it I brought up the subject of alcohol and tried to shed light on the Biblical meaning behind the words translated wine and strong drink [...]

I had someone tell me that based on a passing comment I made in one of my first blog posts they assumed I had what they considered an unbiblical view of alcohol. They went on to say that my having this view of alcohol was part of the reason they no longer read my blog. [...]

I had just lost my job on staff at a GBC church and this man wanted to make sure I was dealing well with my unfavorable circumstances.

In the past years my life has contained no shortage [...]

In the last year I have also made great use of preaching podcasts. If I’m in my car alone I’m probably listening to a downloaded sermon. My favor podcast preacher is [...]

For a while I was frustrated at the low amounts of comments my blog was generating. Though the number of hits on my posts continued to increase, few if any people were taking the time to leave comments on my site. I have a pretty good number of followers who are subscribers to my blog [...]

Last week I introduced a video clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in which he shows Fox News reporters and guests blaming America’s poor for our economic problems. I got comments, emails, and tweets about the post, most of which were surprisingly approving of the clip and my comments about it. However, I [...]
