My perspective on life has changed. For a long time, I cared deeply about my accomplishments and reaching the next big milestone. I spent much of my life looking ahead, thinking about what I needed to accomplish next and figuring out how to get there.

Be a Pharisee to Yourself
What Does It Mean to Be Legalistic? In recent weeks and months, I have been reflecting on many aspects of my life, specifically my understanding of my Christian faith. I was raised in the church, and I cannot remember a time when my Christian faith was not a part of my life. This has comeContinue reading “Be a Pharisee to Yourself”
Redefining the “Perfect” Marriage
Conventional wisdom holds that a “perfect marriage” is a myth—at least if your definition of perfection is a relationship devoid of conflict, ego, or impatience. If perfection is defined as a static peak where no further growth is possible, then the skeptics are right. Such a state would be both impossible and stagnant. However, IContinue reading “Redefining the “Perfect” Marriage”
The Redemption of Peter: From Bitter Denial to Restored Love
When Jesus was on trial, Peter, one of His closest followers, stood by watching. Recognized by the crowd, Peter was accused of being a disciple of Jesus. Three times he was challenged, and three times Peter adamantly denied knowing the Lord. Peter’s betrayal was so crushing that, immediately after his third denial, he heard theContinue reading “The Redemption of Peter: From Bitter Denial to Restored Love”
No One Is Good…
The other day, as I was driving home with my son, he turned to me and said, “Dad, you’re a good dad!” I felt a rush of mixed emotions. At first, I felt honored, but soon shame settled in, realizing how far I fall short of being a good father. I began to think ofContinue reading “No One Is Good…”

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”
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”

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”
