Sometimes you push your body to the limits and the next thing you know you’ve lost all ability to stay up at night. Such was the case with me yesterday. I did read in Exodus and it was interesting, but I decided to go back to the New Testament for today’s post, and wow did [...]

I decided to shake up my reading today for a number of reasons which I won’t go into here. Today, I read about what’s probably the most confounding thing in the entire Bible, Jesus’ crucifixion. Though there are four accounts, I chose to read John’s which is found in John 19. We live in a [...]

Today I read from Exodus 28 and 29. I wish I could say that I had some insight from today’s passages, but I didn’t other than I’m glad I didn’t live back then. These chapters continue God’s meticulous instructions, but this time it’s about Aaron’s and his sons’ robes and ordination. Details are given about [...]

Some people say that they would not change anything in their lives if given the opportunity. I don’t think I’m one of those people. See, I’ve done plenty that I regret. When I look back over my life, I think of periods that I wish I could remove. Periods when I was away from God, [...]

In this world there are many heroes. People idolize sports figures, actors, singers, and even pastors. However, everyone in this world falls. The higher the pedestal a person is put on, the further from grace that person falls when he or she fails. It’s human nature to place certain people with talents above others in [...]

Growth, this is what most churches talk about. How many people can they get into the door? Ministry only grows during this time of year, and during that time you can expect to have low numbers is what they say. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of status quo. I’m tired of [...]
