Total Ability

New Years is a Time of Change I really think 2011 is going to be one exciting year! To some extent, every year begins with a fresh slate. People make New Year resolutions because they want some changes in the coming year. We, as people, tend to not like the status quo. Boring can drive us crazy, so we like to do things to break up that monotony. God Gives Man the Ability to Choose...

Good, But Not Great

As you know, I really enjoy talking with people. I didn’t use to be that way, so I am very thankful that God has given me an interest in people. Remember when you read your Bible what it says in the book of Genesis 1:26: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the...

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Matthew 16:13-16 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” One...

Philosophy of Religion

I am sure the title of this newsletter has many of you really excited! Often, it seems when we hear the word ‘philosophy’, negative thoughts come to our minds. I took a philosophy class at Auburn back in the day, because I was looking for an easy A. Well, I got an A, but it wasn’t easy!! I was so glad when that class was over! I love the Crucifixion and Resurrection season—the time when...

Not the Place for Robes

God has really blessed me with some great trips recently as spring has come to a close. One of the fun things about my trips is all the people that I get to meet! I thoroughly enjoy the different people I meet when I’m out on the road. For example, I am sure glad I got the chance to meet Sam, a soldier in the United States Army. We had a wonderful chat in the...

Where is His Coming?

If you are reading this, then you didn’t get raptured on May 21st! Sadly, Harold Camping’s false prediction of the rapture got a lot of airtime all over the world. Looking at different websites from different countries, you could see the mockery—atheists even had parties scheduled for May 22nd just to mock believers in Jesus Christ. Of course, it only takes a simple study of Harold Camping to realize that he is a false teacher....

What is Full Time Ministry?

So, we are about halfway through the summer now: How is your witnessing going? This is turning into a fascinating summer for me! I have been meeting so many people and have had amazing conversations about the Lord! One atheist I met told me he was having his bachelor party in Las Vegas just to ‘sin’ for the weekend! Wasn’t that an interesting way to phrase it? Even he knew what he was going to...

How Much is a Word Worth?

Recently, there were a couple of incidents that happened in the NBA that caught my eye. One involved the great Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. He got mad at a referee during a game and referred to him as a faggot. Needless to say, people were up in arms over his word choice. People asked how could he utter a homophobic slur and get away with it. Gay rights advocates were all over...

In The Beginning . . .

Well it is that time of year again when the kids are heading back to school. Whether they’re going to elementary, junior high, high school, or college, the students are about to get bombarded with tons of information. The question is: Are those kids prepared to filter out the falsehoods that they will inevitably hear? Are they prepared to examine everything next to God’s Holy Word to make sure the enemy isn’t deceiving them? Are...

Fan or Follower?

I have got a question for you: Are you a fan or a follower? Think about that for a second. While they may sound similar, those two terms are actually quite different. As most of you are aware, we have an addiction to sports here in America. Sometimes our lives are completely wrapped around it. We will check every score, tailgate for hours on end before then going to the actual game, put things on...

A Different Perspective

Seeing the world’s reaction to the passing of Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs has been interesting. It seemed like he was on the frontpage of every website when he died; and of course, he had been on the cover of Time magazine something like seven times during his life. He definitely was a popular man who made some big impacts on the world of technology during his years on planet earth. To read some...

Tidings x Three

One thing we all like is good news. As a matter of fact, we all love good news! One of the fun things about the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons is spending time with family and friends, and sharing stories of good news that have happened in our lives. And we as Christians know that good news has been around for many thousands of years! Luke 2:10-14 “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,...
