Local Elections Matter More To You Than National Elections
We should care about national governance. Choosing a president is important for the country. However, the choice of sheriff matters a whole lot more to your day-to-day life than the President ever will.

All Others Need Not Apply: God Has a Standard for Pastors and It’s Not Just for Show
I will be posting a lengthy series here that I hope you’ll read. The intention is to convince you that the standard is real and that, as faithful Christians, we should follow God’s Word and only call qualified people into ministry.

Pastoral Ministry And AI
Artificial Intelligence has grown more and more capable over the past few years. That fact cannot be denied. And I do believe that it’s going to help us to do a lot of things in the future. But I am a pastor, and as such, I have certain misgivings about AI and its role in…

Dealing With The Problem Often Looks Like Causing The Problem: A Lesson From Paul, Hezekiah, and Minnesota
Sometimes dealing with a problem makes you look like the bad guy. It’s just the way things work. And it often takes a good bit of courage to be seen as the villain for doing the right thing. And as I watched Minnesota Governor Tim Walz begin to say that he would move to work…

Their own resources prove that they know they are wrong. There is no other explanation for the differences seen in their interlinear text.

One Office, Three Words: Pastor/Elder/Bishop/
Wes Huff created a whirlwind of activity this week when he told the world what I’ve heard a long time as a Baptist. The Greek words translated “elder”, “bishop”, and “overseer” are interchangeable. They are three different words to describe the same office. Roman Catholics and Orthodox folks got a little fiery in response. But…

I Hope You Have More Pep In Your Step
I have repeatedly told our church at the end of sermons to stop being so acting so defeated, and that the Church will be victorious as we take the gospel to the ends of the Earth. In the beginning this was often met with a confused and blank stare. I think I’ve said it enough…
