I would like for you all to start sending some theological questions my way. Periodically, there will be some short "lulls" between blogs and a great way to keep things moving would be for me to answer questions that you have. Just comment to this blog and submit your question. I'll compile the list and … Continue reading Time for a little Q & A…

The Truth about Global “Warming”
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be … Continue reading The Truth about Global “Warming”
Something for the Ladies…
There is so much out there for women that flies in the face of biblical womanhood. In fact, much of this is in the church. Much is really just an "evangelical" form of feminism. I want to commend to you a few wonderful resources that help women model biblical womanhood (GirlTalk and Revive Our Hearts). … Continue reading Something for the Ladies…
Something a little lighter…
Many of you know that I believe in the total depravity of mankind. This means we needed a new nature (new creation / new birth) because there is not one molecule of goodness in us that is redeeming. We need Christ's righteousness to replace our self-righteousness. Well, that being true most of you also know … Continue reading Something a little lighter…
A Vision for Effective Ministry
This past Sunday night I introduced (in part) a ministry plan to the church body that could help us organize the ministries of the church to be better stewards of our resources and time. We only began the discussion. The next several Sunday nights will be devoted to further discussion on the ministry plan, a … Continue reading A Vision for Effective Ministry
The Tragedy at Virginia Tech…
It is difficult to express an appropriate response to such a monumental tragedy. If we are reminded of anything at all, it is that we live in a world that is more "fallen" than we realize and that God's glory is more magnificent than we know (or are able to see as clearly as we … Continue reading The Tragedy at Virginia Tech…
The Most Difficult Sermon I’ve Ever Preached!
8 days ago, I preached the most difficult sermon I've ever preached. Easter Sunday's message on John 2:23-25 was understandably a curious choice for the day and I have received more feedback from that message than any I have ever preached in the past. First of all, anything I write here is not designed to … Continue reading The Most Difficult Sermon I’ve Ever Preached!
“Division” in the Church…
If you search around the internet blogging world enough, you'll find opinions of every kind, and "religion" is at the top of the list. Within that subject a damaging division is spoken of regularly, but it's nothing new. What is this division? It is the division between being a christian in appearance and jargon vs. … Continue reading “Division” in the Church…
This Coming Sunday Night…
This Sunday night, April 15th @ 6:00pm, we will be concluding our series, "The Spiritually Minded Church", based on Don Whitney's, "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Church." This week's question for evaluation is "Why Pray with the Church?". Following our discussion I am going to begin sharing with you a vision for the church that … Continue reading This Coming Sunday Night…
He is Risen!
As I have been preparing for our Easter Sunday celebration, I thought I would post my Easter blog the night before. This may seem "premature", but I cannot help but think of the disciples as they were sitting around, hiding out from a similar fate as their leader (Christ), and consoling one another having not … Continue reading He is Risen!
