A little over a year ago, life was somewhat interesting. We were living in a camper, I had an office job in a Factory in Mexico, Missouri, but we knew things were about to change. I had two churches that were seriously considering hiring me, and I was torn as to where I was supposed… Read More »
When is Division Right?
Last June I wrote a blog called “Church Cooperation”. I looked at some of the stupid reasons that churches split, but I also touted the great relationship that I have with the local pastors in town. How we focus on what we agree on, agree to disagree lovingly on the things that we don’t. Last… Read More »
SBC Women Pastors: My Answer
One of the problems with Christianity is the divisions. I had mentioned in a sermon last month that there are over 45,000 denominations worldwide. Baptists alone can’t even get on one page. Baylor University lists 22 major types of Baptist churches in North America. Each one has its own understanding of Scripture, and so rather… Read More »
The Tomb was Empty
In 1979 Leslie, a spiritually confused agnostic, was greeted at her new condominium door by Linda, a neighbor with a plate of cookies. That developed into a friendship that eventually led to Leslie becoming a Christian. Not because it was pushed on her, but because she saw an unexplainable peace in her neighbor. As she… Read More »
Fulfilled Prophecies
One of the biggest objections people have with using prophecy to believe the Bible is the charge of circular reasoning. They say we’re using the Bible to prove the Bible, and that feels self-serving. I get that. If all we had was prophecy, it would be a fair criticism. But that’s not what I’m doing… Read More »
The Ink Still Speaks
Anytime that you start talking to unbelievers or skeptics about Scripture, you run the risk of hearing the argument “Well that was written so long ago, you can’t rely on it. Can you imagine how much it has changed over the years?”. Another argument would be “You can’t believe the Bible, it’s no different than… Read More »
The Stones Cry Out
It’s fitting that this subject comes up the week that we traditionally celebrate the triumphal entry. When you read that passage in Luke, it says Luke 19:37-40 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud… Read More »
Science vs God
If you have a habit of talking about God’s Word to anybody and everybody (like I tend to do) eventually you will hear “Science proves your God and Scripture to be wrong.” Maybe you’ve heard it before even without sharing, just because somebody knows that you’re a Christian. How in the world do you respond… Read More »
One Story, One Author, One God
It seems to me that one of the fundamental cores to Christianity would be the Bible itself. To my surprise last week, I came to the realization that I have never written a blog on why you should believe your Bible. If we share God’s Word at all, eventually we will come across people that… Read More »
Postmodernity
Post-modernity. It’s one of those words that, unless you’re a philosopher or a pastor, you may have never heard of the term, but it is something that has affected most aspects of your life. While it’s still in debate, most philosophers now argue that we have moved on to what they want to call a… Read More »
