Between counseling and pastoring I have been personally involved in ministering into people’s lives for more than fifteen years.

Up until a couple of weeks ago I have looked forward to seeing The Soloist. Lisa and I have seen the preview trailers for weeks and it looks like a great story. Then, Jamie Foxx, one of the stars, made some very crude attacks, at an attempt of humor, on 16 year old Miley Cyrus on a [...]

I usually come out of a meeting or a class with a doodled up paper, quality notes, and a pretty good [...]

I guess forever people have been trying to write off God. Newsweek has an article this week called The end of Christian America. Our President told Muslims that America is not a Christian country, although at least 3/4 of Americans call themselves Christan. It only makes sense that the attack on God would come on [...]
