For me, the benefit of understanding scripture and, thus, God through a story seems very natural. In fact, I find it interesting that God could have chosen to reveal Himself to man in many ways but chose to do so through a "verbal" expression or as the "Word." This in itself appears to support the... Continue Reading →
Keep it Private
The current mantra of the coexistence/tolerance crowd is that you can believe and practice your faith as long as you keep it out of the public sector. Your faith is fine as long as you keep it private and it doesn't try and creep over into the area of public expectations or policy/law shaping. It... Continue Reading →

No rules, no condemnation, no sin, just pure, uninhibited love. God wants you to be happy in your personal... Continue Reading →

"I don't buy flowers for my wife" he said, as he walked into the building carrying a bouquet. "I'm buying a happy wife!" Wait, what... Continue Reading →

As he assessed the situation and determined that no one present was trained in CPR he had to make a quick, but difficult, decision. He was trained in CPR, but policy said he could...

Each day I spend countless hours on the Internet working, researching and purchasing those things needed to keep my staff, and those we support, productive and efficient. I am quite familiar with the idea of anonymity... Continue Reading →
Your failure, but God’s Plan of Grace
Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because...
