Q&A: The Gospel

What do we deserve for our conduct? Due to the fact that we live our lives as if there were no God, daily consigning ourselves to sinful behavior, from the hour of our conception, we deserve nothing less than an eternity of wrath from a God who is infinitely and eternally holy. If God is [...]

Reformed Baptist vs. Lutheran (Potluck Style)

            My church is having a potluck this Sunday. Now, I haven’t been part of this church long enough to know how good their potlucks are, but if it’s anything like the potlucks I’ve experienced at Southern Baptist churches, in Texas, in the past, we’re in for quite a treat. I do know this, we [...]

How to Leave a Church?

            I guess I should preface this by letting you guys know that no one at my old church read this blog, nor do they know about it, to my knowledge. Okay. I need opinions from my readers. This is the letter that I intend to send to the leaders of my old Sunday school [...]

Movie Review: Lake of Fire

            My wife and I officially got rid of cable and got library cards at the library in our “new” community yesterday. I came across a documentary DVD called Lake of Fire which came out in 2006 and chronicles the segments of the last 15 years of the abortion debate. It presents itself as an [...]

Inconsistency in Worldly Arguments – Abortion (1)

Pro-Abortion Argument:   “We are committed to the preservation of choice for all women.”   Response:   “Then why do our pro-abortion representatives not only allow, but support Planned Parenthood, who have been caught misleading women (especially teen-aged women), and not allowing them the benefit of making an educated choice.”   “Why is it that [...]

New Church Home

            Okay. Now for the good news. My wife and I have officially decided that the Lord is calling us to join Sovereign Joy Community Church. If you look at my last blog and the list of concerns that I had for my former church, you can pretty much flip all of those points on their heads [...]

My Church is Driving Me Insane

            I’m currently a member of a church that I am determined to leave upon finding a more suitable one. I believe I have found its more suitable replacement, but my wife has reservations, so we are waiting on the Lord to move in her heart so that she is as convicted to join this [...]

Video: My Testimony

            Chaplain Erik asked me to share my testimony, this week. I was a little concerned, at first, that I wouldn’t have enough time to share a good enough gospel message, because he only gave me five minutes with which to share my testimony. However, after finding out that one of the Navy Chaplains (a [...]

What is Love?

            I am often confronted with the dilemma of the shadiness of the English language. From time to time, I have even debated the “beauty” of it with those that see it as somehow redeeming. However, the more that I discover about the languages of Greek and Hebrew, I find myself all the more convinced [...]

Desiring God Men’s Fellowship

                Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and w sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that [...]
