Live for the glory of God
Does it seem ironic to you that in a time when we have free access to the Bible, in dozens of translations and media format; that at a time when we have free access to Bible study resources that people used to spend good money for, such as Bible dictionaries, concordances, and commentaries, we are […]
The Book of 1st Samuel starts off with a somber tone. Eli is the priest, his sons are out of control, they don’t know God, and they are robbing God of the sacrifices people bring. The son of Hannah, Samuel, is called to ministry at a young age and immediately God speaks to him that […]
I wrote this post in March of 2017, and it quickly became one of my most popular posts. If you scroll down and read the comments, you’ll see two extremes: those who love the post and those who really had a difficult time getting past the original title: “All Christians Don’t Go to Heaven”. In […]
We’ve been on a journey to discovering how to become mature believers in Christ. In this current climate we find ourselves in as the Evangelical church, it is apparent that there is a distinct lack of spiritual maturity in the body.

As the finally weeks of summer vacation draw to a close, we’re taking time to sit down with our kids and review math and grammar and geography. Making sure that their first week back to school is a little easier. We’re gearing up for another 9 months of helping them with schoolwork, nagging them to […]
What is worship, really? Yes, I know that it’s the part of the service when we sing worship songs. But is that all there is to worship? Is worship just the singing part? Is worship just a style of song or singing? These are questions I asked myself about 15 years ago when I began […]
Have you ever seen those videos by Christian comedians about worship styles? You know, the ones making fun of how people raise their hands in church. Cracking jokes at the simple worship songs of the 80s. Sarcastically commenting about how repetitive worship songs are today. Christians are easy targets it seems, even among their peers […]
