A Plea For Theologically Rich Youth Ministries
Posted on May 2, 2016 Leave a Comment
Youth ministry has come a long way over the past 20 or 30 years. Fading fast are the models of ministry that were heavy on entertainment and light on truth. I am glad for this! There’s nothing wrong with having fun in youth ministry; in fact, I think it should have elements of fun. But we know […]
When Christians Let You Down
Posted on September 10, 2015 Leave a Comment
Sooner or later someone who professes to be a follower of Jesus is going to let you down. Quite likely, you’ve already had that experience. And for many, it has happened many times. The hard reality is that people we trust and expect a lot from sometimes fail us, and when that happens, there is usually […]
The Pleasures of True Christianity

I recently read a biography on William Wilberforce, who almost single-handedly abolished the slave trade in Great Britain and, decades later, slavery altogether in the early 1800’s. He began the fight at the age of 21 and the final law to abolish slavery was passed three days before his death over 40 years later. He […]
A Simple Formula for Living the Christian Life
Posted on April 26, 2015 Leave a Comment
Every believer wants to be faithful to God, yet we all know this is no easy task. How can we break down the Christian life in a simple, understandable way? Granted, life is not usually simple. It is normally complex. But I think that as we consider how we can live out our faith day […]

Posted on January 31, 2015 1 Comment
According to Scripture, the job of a pastor is to shepherd people (1 Peter 5:1-2). This simply means he is to act as a spiritual guide, one who others can turn to for counsel and guidance. When people are in need of help, a pastor is meant to be someone who they can seek assistance […]
Preaching is Like Bowling

Strike! Don’t you just love that feeling? There’s something really enjoyable about flinging a 12 pound rock down a slicked-up lane into plastic pins and sending them flying. It’s especially fun when you can knock all ten of those suckers over with one whip of the arm. I don’t go bowling very often, and I’m […]
How to Remain Faithful to the Lord
Posted on October 31, 2014 Leave a Comment
The Christian walk is a call to faithfulness. It is the desire of every born-again believer to serve God with willing hands and a glad heart, to overcome sin and live a life that glorifies God. Yet this challenge is much easier said than done! Sin is a hungry monster that lurks in the dark corners […]
Is Church Membership Biblical?
Posted on October 9, 2014 Leave a Comment
Church membership can be a controversial issue. I have met a number of Christians who are strongly opposed to it, and others who are staunch supporters. As with anything, believers ought to let Scripture guide our beliefs and practices and submit to the truth of God’s Word. In trying to answer the question “Is church […]
Christian: You Are God’s Inheritance
Posted on September 17, 2014 9 Comments
I love it when, while reading a familiar passage of the Bible, you come across something that somehow you missed every other time you read it. Such was the case the other day when reading in Ephesians 1. It says, in part, [16] I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in […]
