  • Once Saved Always Saved?

    Once Saved Always Saved?

    We talk about security in many ways. We desire job security, emotional security, physical security, and material security. We desire things to be such that if we lose something we are able to replace it. So, we buy insurance for the things we can. We desire loyalty. Have you ever wondered why every person seems…

  • No, Jesus Didn’t Teach That!

    No, Jesus Didn’t Teach That!

    Come to Me I went through several versions and titles before deciding how to present this book to you. I am constantly reminded and troubled by the tendencies of so many authors and speakers in our day, who put words in Jesus’ mouth. Such is the case with daily devotionals like Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling…

  • Church(ish)- New Book Now Available!

    Church(ish)- New Book Now Available!

      The story is too familiar. You visit a church and everyone is nice, but no one seems to truly care. The people wear masks of righteousness only to, after you have committed yourself, remove those masks to reveal the face of a horrid witch-like creature. Or, perhaps, a different mask is worn: a mask…

  • Be We Free? (the first chapter)

    Human Desire for Freedom: Can Freedom Be Had?   Man is begat in bondage and there is nothing he can do to escape it. His desire for freedom outweighs his desire for life, yet he is trapped in life. He is a slave to governments and to perception and to morality and to circumstance and…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book III (sexuality in entertainment)

    The lights dimmed and Prostitute spoke up again, “This is why everyone comes here. This place has the best entertainment in the entire town.” Christian looked on as he began his meal, which was delicious. A tall woman came out onto the stage and began to sing. Her voice was soothing and the music relaxing.…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book II (Media)

    Prostitute led Christian to a place to eat. “The best place in town,” she called it, “with a relaxing environment, all the food one can eat and the best entertainment.” These are things that were not glorified on Christian’s side of the chasm and around his own people. He had always been taught to deny…

  • Crucifying Christ Again? John 19:1-16

    We live in a day and age where many of those who are not believers revere Christ more than many Christians do. Many will attend a worship service during the week, then go home deny Christ by committing acts that are both sinful and despicable in the Lord’s sight. Many will read their Bibles on…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book I

    Tonight, my heart is so grieved by the death of our Egyptian brothers. I cannot sleep and I cannot help but question the relevancy of the Christian faith. In the times preceding our own we have seen the rise and fall of cultures, religions and entire ways of life. Throughout all of these ages of…

  • Is There Joy? (John 16:16-24)

                Joy is evasive, even for the believer. In a contemporary culture, amidst the skepticism and the violence and the critical nature of the human individual, joy is scarcely attainable. We live in a society that is riddled with depression and anger and discontent, yet we long for joy. In scripture, we are told that…

  • Are You Angry With Our Leaders? Have You Lost Faith in God?

    I want to share with you all from my time with God this morning. I read in Exodus where Moses lead the people out of Egypt, across the sea and struck the rock at Horeb so that the people could have water. Here were some of my thoughts: In the wilderness, the Desert of Sin,…
