  • Getting The United States Back on Track Using The Book of Jude

    Getting The United States Back on Track Using The Book of Jude

    There’s a lot of turmoil in our country and everyone seems to want the United States to get “back on track.”  A lot of social commentary reminds me of this clip from “The Office”: Dunder Mifflin has been downsizing and facing a recession and is in danger of going out of business.

  • The God of Impossible

    The God of Impossible

    Here in Kentucky, we’re in the midst of a brutal stretch of snow, ice, and brutal cold.  When this began on Saturday, my wife and I had the sense to turn on our faucet’s to prevent our pipes from freezing.  The next day, it dawned on me that it wasn’t supposed to get that…

    Salvation by Grace Alone: Why Our Works Can’t Earn God’s Favor

    Living To Serve The Lord

    “Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.” – Colossians 3:23 (HCSB) The verse above is one of my favorite Bible verses and sat in my office for years. It served as a reminder that no matter what I was going through that day and whatever…
