    A big question is “What in the world is God doing?” Making a case for the Church.

    About 20 years ago, I was finishing a graduate degree. An organization in Orlando wanted me to come and work for them. Lots of perks. A new car – a demo – every six months. Some free medical care. Lots of travel. Close to my mom and dad. But I read a verse that said that Jesus loved the ...read more

They were losing miserably and the opposing team was bigger, stronger, and more intimidating than they were. One of their players fumbled the ball, ...read more

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more
