Aliens in a Strange Land
In Galatians 1:3-4, Paul writes that Jesus “gave himself to rescue us from this present evil age.” It seems like every day we’re confronted in new and more blatant terms just how evil this present age is. On the one hand, it can be heart-breaking to see a culture in constant decline and that reality…
Galatians – Part 2
Though the Doctrine of Election is sometimes considered controversial and, by some, unbiblical (or at the very least, completely redefined so as to leave it meaningless), it is a thoroughly biblical doctrine. There is no way that I could unpack all of the teaching and implications of this doctrine during a single sermon, but I tried…

Some Quick Thoughts on Fear
Fear is one of the most crippling things in life. It causes us to fall back in the face of opposition or danger. It prevents us from taking advantage of great opportunities that could alter our lives for the good. It leads us to play it safe when anything worth having involves some level of…
General James Mattis on the Importance of Reading
I have been working hard at increasing the depth and breadth (and speed!) of my reading. To be honest, I’ve often felt guilty for taking time in my day to read. I always thought, “How many of my church members get the luxury of sitting down with a book in the middle of their day…

Chris is formerly the Pastor at Poplar Springs Baptist Church in Ringgold, GA, but has recently been called as a career missionary to Bolivia. He and his family are planning on moving early in 2017. I love…
A Decade of Lessons Learned
Here is the video of my message from Sunday, followed by the article I wrote for our newsletter, RoadSigns. December 4, 2016, I walked into The Gathering for the very first time, excited with anticipation and hopeful for the future, but having little idea of what I was really walking into. Of course, then it…

Shelved Blessings
How happy are you right now? Seriously, are you over-the-moon kind of crazy-happy in your life? Blessed? Certainly, better than you deserve, but do you experience real blessing in your life such that you are overwhelmed at how good life is…how good God has been to you? Sometimes, the blessings of life seem to hide…
