Church in the Wild

The last month has been crazy for what seems like the entire world. As this virus has spread, whole sections of society are being shut down. Sports are gone. Cafes are gone. Restaurants have been made to close down. Small businesses are facing major difficulties. And beyond all of that, churches have been closed to […]

Live And Learn

I have learned many things in life.  Some have been simple lessons, such as not touching a hot stove with your bare hand.  Others have been more complicated, such as learning that when your wife is hinting at something she is really telling you that you should just do it.  We live and we learn […]

Lives That Matter

Everyone wants to live a life that matters.  No matter who you are or where you are from, we all want to make a difference.  I recently concluded a Bible study in which I did character profiles of important characters in the Bible.  One of the driving things of all of them is that they […]

An Empty Feeling

I read an article a few days ago that featured Michael Jordan.  He admitted that he has felt an emptiness since he left basketball.  This happens a lot with entertainers and athletes.  They become so accustomed to the spotlight that they can’t handle when it’s not there anymore.  Their life seems to no longer have […]

The Hope For America

With every presidential election there is a renewed sense of hope.  When we vote we hope that whoever gets elected will represent our interests, and provide a better hope for our future.  Yet, it seems that we are always disappointed.  No matter who is elected in any election, we never seem to be able to […]

Truth Isn’t Truth

Over the weekend, Rudy Giuliani, who is most recognised as being the mayor of New York City during 9/11 and who is also one of President Donald Trump’s lawyers, made headlines by saying, “Truth isn’t truth.” Giuliani said the now infamous line in response to Chuck Todd, the anchor of the show he was on, […]

Absolute Trust in An Absolute God

Trust is a word that is misused and abused a lot these days.  It’s also a concept that is seriously lacking in our generation.  No one trusts anyone anymore.  And for good reason.  It’s hard to find people that you can fully trust, even among your friends and family.  But there is someone who you […]
