Seriously, how in the world could a man actually think that he is a woman? I have been struggling with this for so long now that it has come to feel like there is really no connection between the 'trans' movement and my life, except...
We MUST become Smugglers of the Word!
How do we go about doing this? We let God speak for Himself! We throw the Word on the ground and let IT bear fruit! As I think about the struggle of those Dark Age Christians and how they lived and died to get the Word to places where people could hear it, I asked myself this question and I want you to think about it with me as we move on into the Spring and Summer:
“How can I smuggle the Word into my conversations with our community?”
I have cried for a long time preparing for your wedding…
“Having twins is the best!” Your twin reminded us of this at your rehearsal dinner and it is so true. Ever since you and Emily were born I have been amazed at the energy that you two have when you’re together. When you were good, you were really, really good. When you were bad, it...

Investing in the Church – Acts 20:28
This week we will be in Acts 20:28. Paul challenges the Ephesian elders to see the importance of investing their lives in their church. I wish I had the passion that he had for the church. Let's look to the Lord together and invest our lives in His congregation! https://youtu.be/JmoNclDqv8c
A Gracious Message – Acts 20:13-27
Last week I preached an Encouraging Message from Acts 20:1-12. This week's message will be gracious!

Battling Anxiety
I know many Christians whose lives are marked by anxiety. In fact, once you get to know them you might even say their defining character trait is anxiety. Money and careers, the people around them, what to do today, it could be anything. A woman might agonize over every word that was said or look that was... Continue Reading →
