This weekend, pastors across the nation have an opportunity. They could use their pulpits to speak boldly into the moment of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They could frame it in a biblical perspective, calling sin what God calls sin. They could lead their people in prayer, repentance, and the pursuit of truth — a truth that […]
A new year is upon us. Do you do New Year’s resolutions? For me it is a time of “new beginnings.” My wife and kids all know this about me; I analyze the past year, write (or think) out both the good and bad, and plan for the next 12 months. I try to be […]
What does it take to make us stop and think about life and its meaning? Do we really need to experience some sort of life-changing tragedy?

Parades were made for the 4th of July. They’re fun whether you are sitting and collecting candy as the parade goes by, or you’re the one doing the walking…we are all smiling and enjoying each other’s company. And, of course, July 4th is our country’s birthday…it’s that day, back in 1776, when the thirteen original […]
Do you struggle with reading God’s Word? I did too. Come with me as I explore many different excuses we use, and why God’s Word is so important; every day. Reading the Bible every day isn’t something Christians just do automatically. It’s a discipline, and in a way, our safety measure. However, this important action […]
