I hate politics. We’re hitting that time when everything everywhere is saturated with political jargon, candidate commercials, and party flyers in the mail. I hate it. I always have, and I suspect I always will. Not that there isn’t a place for politics, because there is. And not that it’s not important, because it is. […]
On Why I Write
Posted on June 25, 2015 Leave a Comment
I first started this website back in January of 2012 as a New Year’s resolution. Since then, I have made it my aim to write at least one article per month, which I have only missed once in the past three years. In addition to these articles (which now total over 140), I have spent […]
The Amazing Faith of Epaphroditus: 5 Words That Describe the Christian Life
Posted on March 21, 2015 Leave a Comment
Image credit: lifeinchristministries.com Though the “big names” of the Bible tend to receive the most attention, I have often found myself drawn to the lesser known people mentioned in Scripture. I think it’s because we know so little about most of them, yet their names are still recorded forever in God’s Word. We often make […]
Pastor Google: The Most Influential Pastor in the World
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 […]
A Response to “The Continued Crucifying of Rob Bell”
Posted on December 12, 2014 3 Comments
Up until now I have stayed almost completely silent, at least in a public sense, about Rob Bell and any of the controversy surrounding him. He’s certainly been a figure that has garnered a fair share of debate, praise, and ire. I’ve tried to follow it all from a distance, as best I can. I […]
Preaching is Like Bowling
Posted on November 6, 2014 Leave a Comment
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 […]
The Impending Crash Landing of Pastor Mark Driscoll
Posted on August 9, 2014 1 Comment
Mark Driscoll is about to go down in flames, and the whole world will be watching. Driscoll rose to fame in the evangelical world (and the secular world as well) in the blink of an eye. This is largely due to the rapid growth of Mars Hill Church, the church that he and a few […]
How to Catalogue the Sermons You Preach
Posted on August 5, 2014 7 Comments
Over the course of a ministry career, a preacher is going to spend countless of hours reading, studying, writing, and delivering sermons. I am of the opinion that most sermons and self-prepared Bible lessons should be saved in a personal catalogue by every Bible teacher. A few reasons you might want to do this are: […]
