  • God’s Relentless Love

    God’s Relentless Love

    Over the last two-and-a-half weeks, I have been so overwhelmed by God’s amazing grace and love. In my study of Scripture, as God continuously reveals more about Himself, I had one of those watershed moments. It is almost like God reveals little things about Himself and then all at once several pieces connect and we…

  • The Christian Message, Condemnation or Peace?

    The Christian Message, Condemnation or Peace?

    This last week, there was another school shooting. In the aftermath of the school shooting, we heard and read many opinions about what ought to be done. We also heard many people condemning those who disagree with them. Any shooting, in fact, any death, is a tragedy and we ought to keep the families of…

  • Dear Voters

    Dear Voters

    Dear friends, The election is now over and I am at a loss for many words. I am not at a loss because of any political party or because the candidate who won, won. I am not offended because ‘progress’ might be threatened, and I am not in distress because of some of the remarks of…

  • Childish Hatred Mistaken For Defending What Is Right?

    Childish Hatred Mistaken For Defending What Is Right?

    An old man poked his head up over the fence on a Saturday morning to observe his neighbor’s yard. “What kind of man,” he thought to himself, “lets his yard get so filthy?” He observed toy trucks and baseball gloves and the grass was taller than it should have been; it would come up to…

  • A Faith of Acceptance, Joy, and Truth

    When I was younger (13-15 years old) I was in church because my parents were in church. I had decided that religion was unimportant and that there was no real benefit to the Christian faith. Here are a couple observations I made. People in church were just as unhappy as people who did not go…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book VI (homosexuality)

    In the town that was now behind them, Christian remembered encountering certain infatuations, specifically in the entertainment. These infatuations led many further from the chasm and further away from the King. Christian and his companion stepped into the City of Love, where many committed wholly to their infatuations and were unashamed. _______________________ Book I  /…

  • 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…

  • There is nothing scientific about it…

    Last night, at our church, we handed out candy to the neighborhood kids that were trick-or-treating. For those of you who know the neighborhood I live in: I was surprised that any parent would allow their children to trick-or-treat moving into the late hours. As I sat with my wife handing out candy, only one…

  • God’s Intimacy

                We hear, oh so often, that God created humanity for an intimate relationship with Himself. Why is it, then, that we rely almost entirely on the local church to fuel our relationship with God? “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers…

  • Does Life Have Meaning at All?

    What if I were to tell you that everything in this life is absolutely meaningless? Do you ever feel, as I do, that no matter what you do or how you live that it is not going to make a difference or that it does not even matter at all? King Solomon, debatably one of…
