The concept that I adopted when I first became a pastor; my mission statement for what I call ministry. This concept of not my parent's faith has been something that I have thought long and hard on, and is now probably my answer to what is wrong with Christianity today. This is my Student Ministry...

The Beauty in Struggles
The world has a major issue in the way it works. The world looks at the big picture, but forgets the tiny details. They take it all in in a massive quantity, but forget to pay attention to the small details. This week has been full of ups and downs. I have been stressed, strained,... Continue Reading →
Question 3: Infant Baptism
This question is going to be very difficult. This is probably one of the most discussed and argued points across all of Christianity. The person who asked me this question made the statement that on the basis of Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God," then at what... Continue Reading →
Role Reversal
Mark 16:15 "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." I made a statement in one of my last posts that I think the saints should be on the streets and the sinners should be in the church. I have had this thought on... Continue Reading →
Question 2: Sinners in Church
The Second Question I was asked on social media was "Do we go to church or not go to church?" The situation for the couple is that they live together, but are unmarried. Do they go to church? Apparently churches look down their nose at this couple when they walk into church, and so this... Continue Reading →

The question I have been asked that I want to tackle first is something that I was asked by a... Continue Reading →

We see that the pain is something that just keeps growing and growing and growing. From the outside we tend to offer guidance and strength to those who need it.... Continue Reading →
Pawpaw’s Bible
My mother's mother passed away back in 2012. We had gone to see her, and while spending time with her while on the ventilator, going in and out of conciousness, she went home to be with the Lord. A few months had passed and we had gone back to her house to clean out all... Continue Reading →
Double Standards
When our car breaks down, who is it we go to so that it may get fixed? Normally, a mechanic would be our first choice. We go to someone who has the knowledge and went to school for fixing cars. What we don't realize is that they do all this work to charge people $50-$90 a... Continue Reading →
Fine, Close the Doors Then!
Something that has been on my mind for quite some time is "Fine, close the doors then." I have seen, read, and heard about churches and Christians themselves that look at the fact that maybe it is time to not focus on what we have been doing, and find something that works, and when challenged...
