It was the Friday of 9/11 week. As America was reeling from the terrorist attacks, I was in Monterey, CA waiting for a phone call. My wife and I were supposed to be in France and Edenborough, Scotland on vacation visiting WWII historical spots. But we were to leave on September 12 so that vacation

As some of you know, I was out of the church for 25 years before coming back. Having grown up in 12 different homes one of the things I saw was a lot of different Christian denominations. One home was Assembly of God. Another was Catholic. Another was Baptist. I attended a Four-Square youth group

Hey everyone! So, I’ve been trying to write this blog for several weeks and just couldn’t come up with the right tone. First drafts were ranting. Second drafts were preachy. Third drafts were whiny.

Every Tuesday night I preach at a United Gospel Mission (UGM) mens transitional housing unit where there are about 40 guys who have been released from prison within the past two years. I’ve been doing this for about eight years now and it’s a really interesting group to work with. About a third to half

Most of you know that I love to scroll social media to see what folks are thinking. After the Super Bowl I noticed a ton of Christians responding to the “He Gets Us” ads that played during the game. Unsurprising all the Christians responding to the ad had nothing but negative reviews. If you didn’t
