Last year, Grace and I took our five kids to the Grand Canyon for a special, memorable family trip. We had never been before and all looked forward to seeing one of the great wonders of the world. Enjoying God’s Creation on such a massive scale reminded me of the gift that life on this planet truly is. According to the Scriptures, creation is a gift from a loving Creator God. From the bodies we inhabit, the air we breathe,... Read more

We must never forget that murder is a sin against both people and the God who made them. Read more
Perhaps no book of the Bible captures the current cultural mood of the world as painfully and perfectly as the ancient book of Habakkuk. Rarely preached on, often overlooked, and brief in length, it is the painful plea from a broken man to God. He opens his dialogue by asking “why” there is evil and “how long” it will last. Anytime you turn on talk radio, the same thing happens call after call and day after day. People call in... Read more
In this, the final blog for the series, I want to thank you for allowing me to try and be of some help to your spiritual life.

When else do we dress up as zombies, witches, and vampires? Halloween has become one of the biggest holidays in America... Read more
One day, as I was walking through a grocery store, I felt like my mind was going to explode. It was around the Christmas season, and over the store speakers the old holiday favorite “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” was playing. As people were trying to figure out which cereal to put in their cart, which tortilla chips could scoop the most guacamole without breaking, and which scent they wanted their bathroom to smell like, the truth of God coming as...

The God of the Bible (Father, Son, Spirit) is a community of friends who made us to have a friendship with them and one another. How can we pick a good friend? How can we be a good friend? And, how can we be friends with our spouse. All of these issues and more are covered in this week’s sermon. Read more
The couple were devout Christians and virgins when they first met. Forty years later, the pain of their marriage showed on their faces. As they spoke to me of their troubles during our pastoral counseling session in my office, they each hung their heads in loneliness and grief. There had been no adultery. There had been no divorce. But there had been no friendship. Although they did a lot of work together, they hadn’t had much fun. With their children... Read more
