Sharing Compassion

Sharing CompassionIt is important that we remember as Christians, that the compassion that matters, is that that extends to the people who least deserve it.  I am profoundly interested in teaching my students to extend mercy and grace in the same way that it was extended to us.  The Lord Jesus Christ died to save […]

Spiritual Power

2 Timothy 1:5-7 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on […]

Jesus Loved. Shouldn’t We?

FirefoxAmidst the recent scene of individuals who have taken a stand on one side of the gay marriage stance or another, several prominent people have been seen an enormous degree of criticism for their stances.  Additionally, others have called for the boycott of companies represented by leaders who have taken what seem to be antigay […]

No Such Thing as ‘Worship’ Music

The question was asked of me yesterday, “Can there really be music that is ‘Worship’?” I was immediately excited about the question, because it helped me to raise a better question.  “Is anything Sacred and is anything Secular?” The student immediately recited something they heard in 4th grade Sunday School class about certain things being […]

The Message is What Matters

Sitting at Starbucks trying to figure out how to sell a book that hardly anyone knows about, I was getting pretty discouraged.  I was on the phone with a few people that I know, trying to get someone to agree to allow me to do an event at their church that would provide me the […]

As many of you know, I have been working on a book entitled Checklist Jesus. It has been a 2 year journey toward my Lord Jesus Christ, and has been the most fulfilling ministry endeavour of my life. I am pleased to say that the project is finished and that the book will be available […]

Time

Time is the hardest thing to endure because it is the only part of our existence that we have no ability to adjust. We sleep time away, procrastinate our duties, then gripe when we don’t have the time left to fulfill our responsabilities. It is better to make progress each day, than to work toward […]

The Gathering

Tonight I’m talking through a passage that displays how the Lord Jesus surrounded himself with people he cared for, right before he encountered the cross.  It is interesting to me that we tend to face trials of many kinds by secluding ourselves completely.  However, hours before Jesus hung on the cross for our sins, he […]
