In my last post, I poked a little jab at a fellow minister, Joel Osteen. If you’re a fan, I’m sorry, but I have some serious issues with Mr. Osteen’s theology, mainly because I believe that he not only simplifies the Gospel of Christ, he largely ignores it. The following is a video of Pastor…

Trusting When It Counts
Most of my married life has been one of uncertainty. I’m not talking about my marriage, specifically, but rather the circumstances we have been in most of our life together. Two years after Karen and I were married, we were called up to New England, uncertain of what we were to do, why specifically we…

The Gathering…in a year.
I had someone ask me this week where I hope The Gathering will be in a year. It didn’t take me long to come up with a few things I hope to see this church being in the coming year: 1. Strong disciples. That is something every church intends to accomplish, but few actually do….

The God of Manasseh
2 Chronicles 33:1-17 2 Chronicles 33:20 To read the account of King Manasseh of Judah is absolutely amazing in regards to the mercy of God. Manasseh literally did everything he could to provoke God to fury. Reading about his faithlessness and sin toward God is like watching a fatal train crash in slow motion. I found myself actually getting…
