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”

Be A Father Not A Friend
My wife and I homeschool our children. There are many reasons behind that decision, but that’s not the focus of this post. The other day, I walked into the house after work and found our kids gathered around the table working on presentation projects. My 12-year-old daughter came up to me, excited to show offContinue reading “Be A Father Not A Friend”
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”
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”
“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!””
Hear, Listen, and Do
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit atContinue reading “Hear, Listen, and Do”
It Starts With Us!
You know what I miss? I miss kindness and respect. I miss people genuinely caring about each other. I miss solidarity and unity in our society. I miss when people could think and believe different things but still show love and compassion for each other. I miss a world where opinions didn’t determine how weContinue reading “It Starts With Us!”
If God Is Real, Then Why…?
I watched a video the other day where someone was arguing with an atheist. The atheist stated, “If God is all loving and good, then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?”. This is an argument to prove that there is no God because of all the tragedy in the world.Continue reading “If God Is Real, Then Why…?”
Be At Peace With Everyone!
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). I love how the Lord works in my life. I pray every day for Him to help me be more like Him in my actions, thoughts, and words. Being human and struggling with pride and anger, IContinue reading “Be At Peace With Everyone!”
What Will You Give Up?
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to” (Like 13:24). Many will try, but few will make it. The price of being saved is more than many will want to bear. We tend to think that all it takesContinue reading “What Will You Give Up?”
