    Three times the word "especially" appears in the New Testament, prompting us to be intentional in fellowship, to emphasize family life, and never to forget the centrality of the message of the Cross.

    Dealing with people is always messy. There is no way you can work with human beings and have everything neat and clean. When you deal with people, you get a mess. They misunderstand, they misinterpret, they make mistakes, they get it wrong. And that’s just on Sundays! The rest of the week is ...read more

    So much in our lives seems temporary; but God can give us a fresh start, can transform our incompleteness, and can give us hope.

    Somebody asked me, when I was getting ready to take study leave, “Why are you doing this? Are you going for another degree? Are you preparing to take another job? And did the deacons make you do this?” Well, I said, I’m taking the study leave because I don’t get much reading time under normal ...read more

    It really is a mystery. How could such a gifted and trusted being as Lucifer (whose very name means ‘light bearer’ or ‘son of the morning’) cause the first church split and take a third of the congregation with him?

Adam & Eve messed up in paradise and their first son murdered their second. (Gen. 3) Noah got drunk and naked in front of one of his sons. (Gen. 9) Abraham ...read more

    A message given to my homiletic class peers in seminary, on the why, how and where of holiness.

When I was growing up holiness meant not doing whatever the Baptist’s were doing. I’ve heard sermons on short-sleeved ...read more
