I would like to know your thoughts on a believer dating an unbeliever. I've talked to several people of faith, and been looking through scripture, and cannot find anything concrete. Please give me your honest opinion about this. When you say "people of faith" I am...
This week is Halloween, and like every year at Element we encourage you to see it as an opportunity to be missional to your neighbors (which means find a way to participate). Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth...
In the last blog I talked about how we are too often defined by what we consume and not our legacy that we are to leave behind us. This misunderstanding of our calling has led ultimately to our misunderstanding of everything including love. It is why today fathers...
I’ve been wanting to talk about something for awhile, its more like a soapbox type issue for me so I have been waiting until I can work it in on a Sunday morning...but that won’t happen for awhile so I am going to blog about it. Sunday morning I was talking to a...

I get some bizarre emails from some bizarre people (that would be you). People are always asking my opinions on things I really have no idea about (like stocks, cars, unladen weight of European swallows), but every once in a while I get a question about something I...
Can you explain I Corinthians 15:29? It was used at a funeral service that I attended over the weekend and I'd never heard it before. I have to wonder, were you at a Mormon funeral? Mormon's have a practice of baptizing themselves and others for those who have...
