As 2011 comes to a close I wanted to recap what have been my most popular posts of the year.  Based on blog comments, emails, tweets, and personal feedback I rate the following as my top three posts of the year (listed in reverse order). 3. Fox News, Jon Stewart, And The Poor – I [...]

Article – Grow Slow

| October 18, 2011

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 [...]

Issues About My Book – Repentance And Salvation

| September 27, 2011

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 [...]

Trends

| September 16, 2011

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 [...]

Why You Should Buy My Book – The Great Commission

Focus On Writing

| March 1, 2010

I’m not a professional writer.  I mean, my book is coming out this summer, I have a few magazine articles in my files, and I post on this blog as often as I can, but I don’t make my living off of writing.  Perhaps because my roof and food don’t depend on it, I find [...]

Preaching vs. Blogging

| January 28, 2010

When someone asked me why I started this site and blog regularly, I responded by explaining that writing is my current outlet to teach and share the things I am experiencing and learning.  Preaching used to be that for me.  I thoroughly enjoy public speaking and used to have a position where I would sometimes [...]
