“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors’” (Joshua 1:6). Last time I discussed that strong and courageous leadership starts with submission to God. This time, I want to discuss how strong and courageous leadership means standing strong and being courageous in the faceContinue reading “Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 2)”

Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 1)
“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors” (Joshua 1:6). These were the words the Lord spoke to Joshua when he succeeded Moses as the leader of Israel. But to fully understand their weight, we need to go back about forty years—back to theContinue reading “Repost: Be Strong and Courageous (Part 1)”
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…”
The Selfish Pride of Life
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”
I Stand With Harrison Butker
This week, my social media has been flooded with Chief’s kicker, Harrison Butker, and the commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College. His speech went viral due to his remarks about encouraging women to be homemakers and mothers. He also called out false religion and religious leaders who do not live a life of sanctification.Continue reading “I Stand With Harrison Butker”
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!””
