    This message deals with people giving up on life.

    The Abundant Life Recently a neighbor of ours decided to end his life. It is not known the reason why, and that is not the important thing here.

    We are starting a brand new series today called a search for what is real. Between now and the end of June we are going to be walking through one of my favorite books of the Bible, and one of the most controversial ones, the book of James. When I was in college, I led a small group of high ...read more

    In response to Virginia Tech: we have choices -- to choose to live in the here and now; to choose to give life to our children by contradicting this violent culture; and to choose life eternal for ourselves.

    “I had no choice.” Of all the things we heard this past week from the deeply disturbed mind of Cho Seung Hui, that stands out for me as key: “I had no choice.” Cho Seung Hui felt trapped and cornered. He felt driven to do this terrible thing. In his mind, every victim was to blame – they were ...read more

    The promise of heaven is a guarantee (through God’s Grace) for every person whose name is written in The Book of Life! Hallelujah! This is a short homily given at a mid week communion service.

    LIFE IS A TEST (1 SAMUEL 13:5-15) There are many tests in life: death of loved ones, getting the pink slip and struggles in the family, to name the most stressful. One of the most stressful periods of my life was when I returned to full-time continuing theological education. My savings dried up ...read more

    What God says is what matters. Human life is very precious to God.

    There is ample evidence in the Bible that God views human life differently than He does any other life form. One presidential candidate recently said, “I will be a president to the animals, too, because I stand for animal rights.” There are people who have waged war with their city hall in order ...read more

    The hope that God has given to us can fill us with joy even in the worst of circumstances.

    The other day I watched some video of the 2004 World Series (won by my Boston Red Sox). When I watched that game live, I was very nervous (many times I had to turn the channel when Boston was in the field). The Red Sox hadn’t won the World Series in 85 years.
