• Comment to those looking at my sermons: I hope you find these sermons useful. They were written with a non-churched audience in mind in hopes of presenting the powerful simplicity of the gospel message. May God bless your ministry as you present His word, as He has blessed me.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: Crawford Lorritts sermon on the fiery furnace. One of the most powerful sermons I have ever listened to. A reminder that taking a stand is never easy, but that God always sees us through, and honors our stand for Him.
• One of my favorite illustrations: Too many to choose from.

• What my parents think of my sermons: Hey, what happened to the days when we preached to him?
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: I wish Billy Graham was preaching today.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: 1. Keep it simple 2. Not being ready is no reason to avoid God�s calling. The truth is you�ll never be ready, because God always has more work to do in your life.

• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Jesus loves you!!!!
• Something funny that happened while preaching: Well this didn�t exactly happen in a sermon, but my first wedding ceremony. I had used a wedding service book that had been given to me by a friend. My friend had written his parent�s names into the bride and groom blanks. During the service I begin calling the groom by the name written in the book, instead of his real name. I didn�t catch my mistake until after the 2nd time I did it.
• What I want on my tombstone: He loved the Lord his God, with all of his heart, soul, mind and strength.
