Monumental Event #2 Since my dear wife and I have been married for 10 years this July 21, I am writing a series of posts about monumental events in our relationship. Last post I wrote about when we met. It was love at first site…for me. Which, of course, makes sense if you know my wife well and know me…

When I am at my weakest that is when God’s glorious providence and power will burn through the most brightly. Oh, how I want to shine as the moon in its fullness of orb. When it casts its light over the darkest night, not waxing or waning, but simply glowing with the full brightness of the sun’s reflective rays. Truly,…
Reading, studying, thinking, praying, and contemplating my sinfulness, my weakness, my failures, my struggles in light of this Passion Week; has impacted me once again as to how much I need Jesus. I need his grace, his favor–I cry with Isaiah, “Woe is me, for I am undone.” If there is one thing that the Holy Week impresses upon me…
For every Timothy there is a Demas (2 Timothy 4:10). For every Prisca and Aquila there is a Hymenaeus and Alexander (I Timothy 1:20).

Those who know me well, know that I believe strongly in contextual interpretation of Scripture and that Word of God if not interpreted in its context is not interpreted rightly. Therefore, I do not think that the process of making a…
Everyone knows that spoken language and to a lesser degree written language is fraught with difficulties. Communication is probably the most important and necessary facets in building relationships, yet it can be one of the most destructive forces in failing relationships. To the Christian, who is by regeneration engaged in a supernatural relationship with God through Jesus Christ, the art…
There is probably no heart attitude that destroys one’s soul and robs a Christian of joy and delight more than bitterness. God commands the Christian to let all bitterness be put away since it is a work of the old depravity and not a part of the new creation we are in Christ Jesus. In Hebrews, the Bible teaches us…
