    Sarcasm betrays anger at ourselves or at others, but we cannot let it fester. We need to come to the Cross, where there is reconciliation.

    Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it? Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each other do ...read more

    We must maintain hope and perseverance until the second coming

    We have often heard the axiom that when life serves us lemons we should turn the lemons into lemonade. I don’t know about you, but I find that is not always an easy thing to do.

    John had a brief but profound ministry, fulfilling the part that God called him to play in order to prepare for the coming of Jesus.

    Main Idea: Favoritism goes against God's heart for His creation. We are challenged to see people as God sees them and to live out our faith through acts of love and service, especially towards those society often overlooks.

    Hey guys, today we're going to talk about something we all see around us - favoritism. You know, when someone gets special treatment because of how they look, what they wear, or who they know. It's not cool, right? Well, guess what? God thinks so too. Let's dive into James 2:1-17. James, who was ...read more

    This is the third in a series, as we look at the lessons we learn from storms. In this case the multiple storms that Paul found himself in his way to Rome

    I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that it seemed that whenever Dad and I were chatting that our conversations often drifted to storms that we had been in together when we were at sea. And the reason, of course, is that the storms are more memorable than the nice days at sea, not necessarily more ...read more

    Narnia: Is The Lion Safe?

    This is an article I wrote for an online journal. It’s a devotional based on the question asked about Aslan: Is he safe? The answer was : No, but he’s good. That’s God’s plans for us too: not safe but good.

    Is the Lion Safe? I’ve been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia for several years now. What’s funny about it is that it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is decidedly not a believer. That’s funny because Narnia was written by a man who worked hard to make his Christian faith known ...read more

    Christ is not safe, but he is good.

    Scripture – Matthew 10:32-42 Sermon – “Is He Safe?” I heard some disturbing news this past week. There’s really nothing wrong with it, but I thought that I’d never see the day when what I’m about to say would happen.
