I think I have shared here in the past and in greater detail in my book that my father was not the greatest guy in the world. He was an atheist, alcoholic, womanizing, con-man felon who caused my sisters and I no end of trouble. His poor decision-making got us evicted from our home multiple…

One of the critiques about Christianity is that it’s intolerant. Jesus tells us in the Bible that the only way to God the Father is through him (John 14:6), meaning all the other ways people use to try to get to God are wrong. Thus every other religion is wrong and those in the Christian…

I enjoy spending time on Facebook watching all the stuff my friends post. I admit I probably spend too much time there but some of the stuff that gets posted really cracks me up. Then there is the other stuff. I’m often amazed by the amount of crap people put up ranging from Photoshopping their…

I have a buddy that doesn’t believe there is such a thing as sin. He’s an admitted pagan – which I didn’t know actually existed anymore – so it shouldn’t be surprising coming from him. But when I hear those professing to be Christians say they don’t believe in sin, or at least some things…

I was asked an interesting question by a friend on Facebook today in response to a post I put up from Tim Keller expertly explaining why punishment in the Old Testament is not how we act today. After reading the piece, which focused a bit on the OT punishment for homosexuality versus what our response…

I was having coffee with a buddy the other day and had to laugh when he told me he was wrestling with an issue. I laughed because I knew all too well what he was going through because I’ve been going through the same struggle for the past couple years. Mother Teresa is quoted as…

I love Facebook. I know I shouldn’t – it’s filled with a lot of nonsense. But it’s been great connecting with friends I haven’t seen in decades and I actually enjoy some of the banter. In the past couple days, though, I’ve seen a lot of comments about how we should deal with Syrian refugees…

I’ve been thinking a lot about why we don’t tell people that we see in our daily life about how Jesus has changed our lives and that we want Him to change theirs, too! I’ve come up with the obvious reasons in the past: Uncomfortable pushing religion on people I don’t know what to say…
