Have you ever thought something like, “I could accomplish more if I wasn’t me”? I just did. I mean, like 30 seconds before I typed this sentence I thought this. What! What am I thinking? I’m supposed to be the victory in your identity guy. Well here is the reality. God made us in His [...]
I recently returned from a trip. This trip really did make a deep impact on me. It was not because I had so much fun, or got a good tan, but I learned a lot about me. My learning was not about what kind of person I was. No, it was more about what kind [...]
Identity theft. Ever heard of it? We talk about it all the time. I remember back in the day, my car was broken into. The perpetrator stole a few things. Apparently, my wallet had dropped out of my pocket and was visible. This person not only took my wallet, but my disc-man too! I know [...]
What am I talking about? Not only with the "star" comment, but "to Bethlehem"? Let's take a step back and look at something. I want to show you something that I came across when I was reading my Bible the other day. It's a new thing that I had not put together. I want to [...]

How dare I ask that question. It seems completely inappropriate to ask such a question of God. God doesn’t have to do anything that He doesn’t want to. Or does He? Wow. I tend to ask questions that could seem inappropriate to ask for a Christian. I was always taught not to ask such questions. [...]
Hey! Social Media... Does it tell the truth? Sometimes perhaps. You know what I mean. You have done it, haven't you? It's not that you want to flat out lie, but sometimes the things you put out there, into the world, only reflect a little bit of your journey. Not because one snap can't contain [...]
"HEY, PUT DOWN THAT CAMERA!!!” The last thing you want is for some camera happy person to try to capture you in a bad moment, only to try to make you look like a loser. OK, I’m not a celebrity. Not by any means. I’m just a pastor and a professor. I am a public [...]
I love Music. I do. It’s been a partner in life. It’s got me through a lot. In fact, I’m a musician, so it probably has even more influence in my life then it could. I’ve been in bands, I’ve lead worship. Music is perhaps one of the main ways I express my emotion. Music [...]
