Many of you may have seen the headlines of late concerning the Discovery Channel documentary: The Lost Tomb. It is about an archaeological finding of four ossuaries, with the names, Jesus, son of Joseph, Mary (twice), and Judah, son of Jesus. At first glance this finding may seem shaking, especially to our faith. Fret [...]
In my previous post I wrote about how God had blessed me before my salvation. Now I would like to share with you all how God has blessed me since he saved me. Of course, God has blessed me in many ways, this is just one of the many that I am sharing today.
As I [...]
Almost four years ago God used a special young lady’s testimony to open my heart, mind, ears, and eyes to our Lord. Later this same young lady became my beautiful wife. But this story is not about how God blessed me through salvation, this story is about how God blessed me before my salvation.

I did not watch the Super Bowl this year. No one invited us to a Super Bowl party and I had no investment in either of the teams. I did however watch the Super Bowl commercials. I accidentally slept a little too long during my Sunday nap, so I stayed up late Sunday night and [...]
I had a pretty great experience with the Church this weekend. The group we normally call “Sunday School” met Saturday night in a house. We ate taco’s, my wife made her famous banana pudding (actually it’s Paula Dean’s famous banana pudding), I made some peanut butter fudge. Some brought beef, some brought the taco fixings, [...]
As many of you know, I thoroughly enjoy the Alcohol debate… that is the debate between people who believe the Bible teaches Christian to abstain versus people who disagree. From time to time my ears perk up when I hear people discussing this issue. Often times it is a preacher or teacher very so subtly [...]
In A Disturbing Trend… - Part 1 I discussed a trend I have been seeing among American Christians. A trend where we, Christians, think we have the right (or even the duty) to strong arm the world to act antithetical to their nature. As I have been thinking about that post I asked myself a [...]
