This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

You may ask if I understand who are the people that I am talking to. We are nursing students and medical staff you ...read more

Recently I ran across some impossible test questions that are sure to strike ...read more
