The Pope’s Bold Move Away From Christianity
According to a recent report by the Huffington Post, Pope Francis has declared that faith in Christ is not necessary for redemption, a clear and completed move away from biblical Christianity and, apparently, to some form of Christian Universalism (contradictory terms, by the way). This is part of what he said: “The Lord created us…
Looking for God in the Whirlwind
I have been following the reports about the Oklahoma tornado since it happened yesterday. The more I watch, the sadder I get. As I’ve seen the images, my mind has involuntarily weaved together scenarios of the lives that have been decimated. I’ve pictured the lives of those little children who woke up yesterday morning, got…
Sermon Video: The Calamity of Sowing the Wind
I’m always a little taken aback when I stop long enough to think of how easy it is to engage in trivial pursuits in life. Hosea calls it “sowing the wind.” Do you ever find yourself engaged in trivial pursuits? Trying to attain things that ultimately don’t matter and can’t bring lasting satisfaction Does your…

Yes, time does fly and it does, indeed, go faster every single year. I was reflecting on this yesterday while Jacob was getting…

Come and See
As someone who has studied apologetics extensively, I know and have used all of the logical arguments for the existence of God, the deity of Christ and the reality of miracles. I have talked with people about the rationality for believing in the reliability of Scripture and the resurrection of Jesus. As a natural skeptic,…
Navigating Your Way Through a Wilderness of Purpose
Have you ever been stuck in a bad job? I think that might be one of the worst things we have to deal with in life because sometimes we really do feel stuck, like a caged lion or a wolf caught in a trap. You might be in one right now. If you are, I’m…
