I love Christmas and have made it a topic of study for many years. As a result, I have some opinions about common questions. Over the next few weeks, I will do just that, give my opinion. I say that because none of us can definitively prove things where the Scripture is silent. As ourContinue reading “Who Were the Wise Men?”

The Weird and Spooky
Because of the season of life I currently find myself in, I have not blogged as often as I would like. It has given me time to think and process these very detailed thoughts. Indeed, in the length of this blog, I will only be able to scratch the surface on this topic. As weContinue reading “The Weird and Spooky”
Do Denominations Divide Us?
This is a comment I hear often; “Denominations prove there is disunity in the body of Christ.” I take issue with this premise. Why are denominations often vilified for what they are not and never celebrated for what they are. In this blog, I want to explain why I believe denominations bring unity to theContinue reading “Do Denominations Divide Us?”
The Land of Could Have Been
“It could have been” are perhaps the four saddest words in the English lexicon. The older I get, the more I see potential wasted and moments not seized. Speaking directly to my fellow Pastors, we live at the crossroads of “may be” and “could have been.” It is a life a death struggle that weContinue reading “The Land of Could Have Been”
Three Truths of the Kingdom
What has caught your attention most over the past year? We have lived through a tumultuous election cycle, a worldwide pandemic, earthquakes, a crisis in Afghanistan, wars, and rumors of wars. You see where I am going. Amid these crises, many believers have their focus in the wrong place. I understand the need to defendContinue reading “Three Truths of the Kingdom”
Too Valuable Not to Be Used
A few weeks ago, I preached on “too valuable not to be used.” I had a second message prepared but have not been able to preach it. Today, I am putting it into a blog format. God’s Kingdom increase is dependent on our willingness to provide additional time towards this cause. We do not knowContinue reading “Too Valuable Not to Be Used”
Betrayed
September 21, 1780, changed the way American’s think and speak. At the height of the Revolutionary War, the commander of West Point met with British Major John Andre. This clandestine meeting was to discuss the turnover of America’s Military school to the British. This would be a decisive blow against the fledgling republic. Fortunately, theContinue reading “Betrayed”
Out of Focus
Recently I have noticed my eyes moving out of focus. I look across a room, and it seems fuzzy. If I blink, they move back into focus. I am sure that this is a function of age or my negligence of wearing my glasses as often as I should. Whatever the reason, it is aContinue reading “Out of Focus”
The “Big Blah”
Have you ever been questioned because of a belief you hold? Of course, you have. All of us experience this on an ongoing basis. We are questioned for our faith, politics, the color of the car we choose to buy, and pretty much every other decision in this life. For some, decisions are based onContinue reading “The “Big Blah””
A Two-Sided Coin
2020…there, I have already said enough to make you groan and sigh—what a year of profound challenges and opportunities. Let me recap for you in case you have forgotten. We survived one of the most contentious political seasons in the US since Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams. Many cities erupted in race riots followingContinue reading “A Two-Sided Coin”
