How clean are your glasses?
God blesses those who’s hearts are pure, for they will see God. The thesis of my pastor’s sermon from Matthew 5:7 this morning was simply this: those who’s hearts are impure will NEVER see God. Their eternal destination is therefore not good. The good news, however, is that we can indeed see God someday if [...]
How can I walk with God if I can’t see Him?
How do you walk with God when you can’t see Him? I guess that’s why they call it “faith.” I just started reading a book titled: “Desiring God” by John Piper. It’s the 25th anniversary reference edition. I must admit I’ve not heard of this author before, much less the earlier title of the same [...]
Leadership 101: sharing the vision of success and prosperity
I heard a great sermon tonight from Joshua 1 that had within it several tenets of good leadership. For those familiar with the story, God tells Joshua he’s going to lead Israel across the Jordan River. Without specifics, God simply tells Joshua to go and claim the land on the other side of the river. [...]

While the DVD clip below addresses only part of his series, which continues to blow me away, there was another part in the series just before he goes on to explain [...]
When did Christian community become obsolete?
My best friend’s name is Steve. We’ve known each other since high school in the late 70’s. How this fits into topics I’ve already covered has to do with what happened in our lives over a 12-month period a few years ago. After the collapse of my marriage and the ensuing divorce Steve was there [...]
What was God thinking?
Have you ever stopped to think about the Genesis account of creation in light of God’s own admission that something wasn’t good? After all, we see in Genesis 1 that after everything God created he declared it “good,” culminating with the creation of man, which He called “very good.” So why in chapter 2, verse [...]

Discipleship: It’s about relationship
Last night I had the opportunity for the first time to see the Passion Play. Aside from the positive message presented in the play, what struck me most about the performance was the number of local actors involved and the ramifications that such a number of Christians equipped to share Christ’s message could have on [...]
