Where have I been? Good question. I grew scarce between the new year, family health scares, and life in general. But the one thing that never disappeared is the Lord and his Word. In that regard, He has brought me through the fire in a refining period, with a Nehemiah study series. What does that mean? It means I have dove deep into scripture, finding the truths the Lord has chosen to reveal to me. Now, I’ll be honest and... Read more

This is the wrong time to mention that I’m a bit behind. By about two seasons. Plus, another season. Who has the time to watch TV these days? Work, kids, church, YouTube shorts, wait … I mean Bible reading. Yes, that. But seriously, how important is it... Read more
It’s that time of year again. Snow flurries and freeze warnings. Christmas trees and strings of flashing multi-hued lights. Half a month off for children to destroy the house and eat everything not nailed down. And some of the things that are nailed down. Stockings are nailed to the walls and bulging with candy and toy tidbits while Christmas music blares on every preset on the radio. Holiday movies and TV Christmas specials compete with extravagant commercials teasing the latest... Read more
Hurricane season has arrived for the eastern seaboard. And every other coast of the US, too.

You may ask yourselves, “Where is he going, and what will the topic be today?” My answer is a shift in gears. Christian Sanity will review a newly released novella and discuss my recommendations.

Every once in a while, a topic pops up that I immediately shy away from. It’s not that I don’t have an opinion because I do. Instead, I would call it wisdom by attempting to choose my battles. Some topics have easy answers, while others tend to be circular. We can argue, debate, and discuss our stances but inevitably circle all the way around to the beginning without ever finding a place of peaceful agreement. Then why have I chosen... Read more

Why do people raise their hands in church? I mean seriously. Does God not understand that we can worship in our seats? I’m tired. My arms hurt. Did I shave my armpits? Did I put on an appropriate amount of deodorant? If raising your hands is expected… isn’t that a form of man-made religion? Which means I don’t have to lift my arms. Why should I lift my hands into the air in church? Are you telling me God doesn’t... Read more
“The Day of Salvation is our Independence Day.” What does that even mean? A bit on the nose, is it not? Clickbait? Am I trying to sucker you in with a relevant topic? The truthful answer is yes.
