For the past few weeks I have been working on our sermon series for next year, Genesis. As I am going through how we will teach it, many things strike me I didn’t even notice the last time I taught through it. It brings me back to the understanding that we, as...
The question came up last night at GC if forgive and forget is biblical? Or is forgive and don't forget it biblical? Forgiving is not forgetting, it is honoring God in all things first. We so often think life is about us, but life is about God and His glory. When...
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO (OR DID YOU DO) TO START MAKING YOUR WIFE YOUR STANDARD OF BEAUTY, SO THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING IT, BUT IT BECOMES REALITY? As many things do, in love and marriage, this is also a choice that we make. For me, personally, I was convicted one...
The wording of the question is out of order because it is not simply loving someone that makes them beautiful, it is HOW you love them. In our culture we have turned love into an emotion, it is about how we feel. This is why people use terms like "fall in love" or...

I never intended to write a part 3 to the Lamenting blogs that came out at the beginning of Lamentations, but I thought it was appropriate after last Sunday. If I couldn't get the words out, or make sense, maybe this will help. God has never forgotten His people....
Q: I just finished reading the book "The Hole in our Gospel" by Richard Stearns. This was the most impactful book that I can remember reading; it has such an incredibly convicting call to action that I cannot do it justice describing it. What do you think about it?...
What’s the deal with the ending of Mark, and where do you think the ending actually is? Is after verse 8 or 20 in Chapter 16? And what would the reason be that there is a discrepancy where the end of the book is? It just doesn't seem the appropriate place to not be...
