We live in a world where the only thing that matters is “Me.” Following up on my last blog post about Harrison Butker, I have read many posts that have demonized his words toward women about finding value in being a mother and homemaker. Both men and women are calling his words chauvinistic, arrogant, andContinue reading “The Selfish Pride of Life”

Please Don’t Misunderstand Me
Over the past few blog posts I have written, I have focused on what it means to be a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ. I have discussed my opinion on the viral Super Bowl commercial from “He Gets Us.” I have talked about the arrogance of humanity and the unseen war we areContinue reading “Please Don’t Misunderstand Me”
The Arrogance of Humanity
Throughout scripture, we are told to fear God. Over 140 references throughout scripture talk about the fear of God. Even Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). ItContinue reading “The Arrogance of Humanity”
To “Believe” Is More Than Believing
The Church likes to quote John 3:16 and then stand on the doctrine that all it takes is belief in Jesus to earn salvation. This is a false doctrine and false ideology. The translation of John 3:16 into English is weak and misses a lot of context from the original language. The word for “Believe”Continue reading “To “Believe” Is More Than Believing”
“Surely you won’t die!”
With all of this talk about the Super Bowl commercial, “He Gets Us,” I thought I would share my take on the subject. If you haven’t seen the commercial, I will do my best to summarize. The commercial is filled with pictures of people washing other people’s feet. It is clear that the people washingContinue reading ““Surely you won’t die!””

I have reached a point in my life of reflection and introspection. There is so much I want to share with you, butContinue reading “Please Read”
The Scariest Words
When I was seven, I “gave my life” to Jesus. Honestly, I never really understood what that meant. All I knew was I didn’t want to go to the place with fire and brimstone. I was told that if I said the sinner’s prayer and accepted Jesus in my heart, I would be saved. ItContinue reading “The Scariest Words”
The Hard Truth
C.S. Lewis gave us one of the best descriptions of God in his book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. When the children enter the world of Narnia, they are told of the great Aslan. Upon his description, Susan states, “Well, he doesn’t sound very safe” (My paraphrase ). Mr. Beaver replies, “Safe? WhoContinue reading “The Hard Truth”
The Bride
I was driving up Highway 55 with my wife to McCall, Idaho. We were listening to a message by John Bevere titled “The Knock-off Jesus.” Even though his message focused on believing in the Jesus of the Bible and not the Jesus of society, he talked about the relationship between Christ and His followers. HeContinue reading “The Bride”
Heart’s Desire
Have you ever wanted to have a relationship with God like the kind of relationship you have with your spouse or your close friends? Have you ever wanted to hear and know the voice of God? Have you ever wanted to see God the way the prophets and disciples say Him? I ask these questionsContinue reading “Heart’s Desire”
