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…

Fleeing Sodom
I was in a Michael’s store with my wife a few days ago and noticed that they had all their Pride stuff on a 50% off sale. And June’s not even over. It made me chuckle. Everyone knows that most of these department stores are hocking these wares because they think it’ll turn a profit.…

Moralism is tedious and draining. And there is an obvious reason for it being draining. It is an attempt to do an impossible climb of good deeds to God, or at least better than the other people around (I hope you’re thinking about the Pharisee and the Publican right now). The thought of it is…

It’s Time To Rub Shoulders With Unbelievers
This is commons sense. Is it not? In order for us to share the good news of what Jesus has done we need to know and talk with people who need to know the good news of what Jesus has done. We have to have contact with people who need Jesus if we are going…

Christian, You Are The Weird One…And That’s The Way It’s Supposed To Be
I have oftentimes been amazed when Christians are shocked that their viewpoints are not shared by everyone. Know this well. Our convictions are not shared by everyone and that should be abundantly clear by now. What needs to be understood is that we are the ones that are different. We are the ones who are…
