The Epidemic of Teen Depression

It’s probably no surprise to anyone that rates of teen depression in the U.S. continue to trend upward.

Over the past few […]

When Does Sin Look Like Freedom?

Confronting sin in your own life is difficult. It can be even more difficult if there are competing views about what is profitable for the faith. However, I’ve seen many Christians allow their determination of sin to be based on their perception of guilt resulting from that sin. We sometimes try to justify behaviors that […]

Double Minded

One of my favorite passages in scripture is the Doxology of the book of Jude.

Mentors Keep Us Deeply Rooted

Mentors increase resiliency by keeping you rooted when hard times come. Some of he most profound moments in my life have been times when I thought everything was going to crash down around me, but one of my parents, or one of my mentors helped me weather the storm. The honest truth is, storms are […]

Does God doom some people to hell?

How Does a Loving/Good God Doom People to Hell?

Asking good questions is the foundation of the learning process. The form in which a question comes is as important as the answer that is given, because the question can reveal some assumptions and expectations of the questioner. To simply answer a question without first recognizing the questioner as a real person with a real […]

Christianity is not a building

I Quit Going to Church and I Couldn’t Be Happier

Debates surrounding the validity of church membership/attendance have raged for as long as there has been a building designated for worship. However, the question about attendance/membership is a silly conversation until you correctly define the term, “Church.” As a believer, and even as a minister, I had intellectually addressed the idea of church attendance, and […]
