    If someone is living and breathing, junk is going to happen. If we are living, we are going to be hit by one of life’s curve balls. Here are some questions I try to think through when something comes that I wasn’t expecting: -Is this something that I can do anything about?  Many times, the…

    I’m not an old and wise guy. I haven’t had a ton of life experience, but believe it or not, people do ask me for advice quite regularly. One of the things that bugs the heck out of me is when people ask for my advice and choose to do what they wanted to do…

    I saw this on the O’Reily Factor last night and started thinking… Why would this ad campaign be appealing? Here are some thoughts: 1) Because there is a lot of bad in the world and most blame it on God. It’s because of God’s sinful people, not Him. 2) Because the church has let the world…

    Intelligence must be accompanied by application. I know a lot of really smart people that know a lot more than I do. I know people that have increased their intelligence through schooling and I also know people that have increased their intelligence through life experiences. However, neither matters without application. Application is what makes intelligence…

    in , ,

    During my short life and my short time in ministry, I have seen how the work of God can often divide people. Many times, the divided people are the ones that aren’t actively involved in the ministry because it’s easier to criticize after God moves than to be involved in the process.  In John 9,…

    There are some people that always want to debate the specifics of Christianity. They want to debate on certain particulars of what they believe. To me, much of this is useless, but there are certainly things that I’m not willing to give an inch on. Here are some… The Bible is God’s word to us.…

    “Focus on what’s been given to you rather than on what you don’t have.“ These are the words the Holy Spirit said to me out of nowhere yesterday. It really made an impression on me because so often, I’m too busy focused on the blessings that I want and believe I should have rather than…
