  • What Does Death Mean for a Christian?

    With the recent severe weather, especially the devastating tornado that killed at least 24 and injured more than 200, just south of us, I felt it appropriate that I addressed death and what it means to Christians. Should the Christian community fear death? Should it welcome death? Should it be excited about death?   Allow…

  • What My Graduation Actually Means

    People in my life, those who have impacted my life and those I look up to (both friends and family) continue to congratulate me on my accomplishments over the last four years. I am the first person in my family to graduate from a university and I did so earning some rewards and special recognition.…

  • Freedom

    Everyone wants to be free   If freedom is committing one’s self to some other thing   Then every person on the face of the globe is in slavery   Some to politics, some to religion   Some to science and others to reason   We bind ourselves in relationships and in worldviews   Making…

  • Marriage on the New Earth?

    I have been married to my wonderful wife now for eight months and must say that the relationship is the second greatest experience that envelops my life (the first being the relationship I have with God). Here, though, is what bothers me concerning the marriage relationship: It is difficult, if not impossible, for me to…

  • Dissention, in God’s Church?

    We are a Christian people. We all belong to the same God. Why is it, then, that so many times we feel as if we must slander one another in our own volition and according to our own conception (whether right or wrong)? If we are indeed God’s people, would it not make sense for…

  • On the Newtown, Connecticut Shooting

    For a few days now, I have been thinking quite heavily about the atrocious violent acts that were committed on December 14, 2012. It seems that everyone wants to push some sort of political agenda regarding the event. Anti-gunners would love to say that “the guns were purchased legally” (CNN) and that this tragedy could…

  • The Christian Outdoorsman

    Recently (within the last two months) I have gained an interest in various outdoors activities, such as hunting, fishing and camping. As a result, I have become a gun enthusiast and a lover of the outdoors. Of course, all of these things have always interested me, just not explicitly and overwhelmingly until recently. The greatest…

  • I don’t need to go to church to love Jesus!

    “I don’t need to go to church to love Jesus!” This is the consensus reached by many people that I get to talk with on a regular basis. Church is boring. Church is for women. We don’t really feel the Holy Spirit moving in Church. I don’t agree with the church theologically. We don’t like…
