As a Christian man, I’m almost ashamed to admit one of my guilty pleasures is watching a popular dating franchise. I like to see some of the creative date ideas. Yes, I admit I’m a hopeless romantic. It’s also a good opportunity to get some insights into what the opposite sex thinks about love. It’s true; each person is different with a different idea of love. Feelings Sex Gifts Love really does mean different things to each one of us.... Read more
In the last few years there have been a lot of controversies over large “worship” mega-churches. I am not going to debate a music style, just looking at biblical worship. Worship is a lifestyle, not a music style. Musical worship is easy because it is void of a lot of elements of worship. Sacrifice Humility Change Dedication During the years I spent away from the church and worshiping the ways of the world, I never died to my selfish wants. I... Read more
Pride can sneak up on any of us and blind us from the truth. In my bedroom above my bed, I have a painting of Jesus kneeling in the garden of Gethsemane. It is a reminder for me of how even Jesus didn’t abise His power and position. The painting is one of three that my father painted while I was in the hospital after my accident. It was the first time he painted anything in decades. When I was... Read more
Lately, there’s been a lot of excitement about the current lottery jackpots. The excitement is understandable. The expectation of God “blessing” believers with the jackpot of many Christians isn’t, since God doesn’t condone gambling. God’s people are called to be different. Unfortunately, many people only worship God for what they can get from Him. Materialistic blessings Earthly greatness Power We are seeing this worldly mindset surface in conservative politics. Boasting that God will grant us political victory because we are... Read more
Recently, I watched an interview with Hollywood superstar Tom Holland about his struggles with alcoholism. The 27-year-old British actor has had worldwide success since starting his acting career began at age 9. His success has earned him a spot as one of Hollywood’s A-list actors, it has created his own demon. We see a very spiritual principle here, our flesh is weak and is never satisfied (Proverbs 27:20, Matthew 26:41). Holland explained his daily struggles. Affected his mental health Couldn’t stop...

Over the weekend I watched the interview with President Zelensky on the news. As he talked, he was still dressed in his military combat fatigues. He clearly hasn’t let his leadership go to his head. I can still remember over a year ago when Russia first began its invasion of Ukraine and the United States offered to help him escape to a safer place. After politely thanking us, he resided it to stay in his native land to help protect... Read more
This week, the news reported another prominent “conservative” politician has shown their true colors. She is actually from the state I reside in now. A majority of the state doesn’t support her and wonders how her constituents still do after how she acts. Time and again her actions prove she isn’t a conservative. Has no self-control and is impulsive Has twisted spiritual beliefs Is more focused on earthly greatness and what she wants A few years ago I interviewed a... Read more
This week our country celebrated our independence and the sacrifice of others. Traditionally, it is a time when we get together with family and friends, especially those we don’t get to see often. For almost 300 years people have traveled from all around the world to come to this great country and pursue the American dream. We are a nation that values freedom. Freedom of speech freedom of press freedom of religion Our forefathers broke free from the oppressive rule... Read more
My accident changed everything for me 26 years ago, not just in regards to being disabled or blind. Growing up in the church, I thought I had a firm footing on my faith. Before college, I began drifting away from Christianity. However, God used my accident to humble me and bring me back to Himself and that is when everything changed for me. I experienced a paradigm shift in my ways. Drinking Smoking Drugs Being promiscuous The amazing thing is... Read more
As 2023 rolls on, the political climate has become more volatile than ever before. The race for the White House has heated up with numerous candidates vying for your vote in 2024. Much like the 2016 election conservatives don’t have a true candidate who represents their values. As a conservative voter, I tend not to focus on popular subjects; I lean towards more traditional conservative ideals. Spiritual views Character Moral Values Over the years conservative politics have shifted away from... Read more
