The last two weeks as we have begun the new year we have examined a couple of key areas of life in which we must be in a continual state of resolution. Yes, resolution does imply weakness in the past but it also implies the desire for growth looking toward the future. This week’s installation … Read more…
Yesterday while doing some research for a project I’m working on I came across a study that the Barna Group did back in 2009 regarding how different generations view the Bible and how much they know about the Bible. Some of the findings were honestly better than I expected while some were shockingly low. However, … Read more…
Last week for our sermon starter we started a four part series used for ushering in a new year called “iResolve.” At this time of year it is natural for people to set goals for the coming year, particularly in areas they may have considered weaknesses in the past.

In the last week you have perhaps heard Bill Maher’s name in the news. If you don’t know who Bill Maher is, count your blessings. He ranks among the most despicable human beings to walk the face of the earth and I second-guessed using this news story just because I did not want to give … Read more…

Atheism has progressed far beyond … Read more…
There are attacks made against people of faith on a daily basis. One can hardly turn on the television, listen to the radio, read the newspaper, surf the internet, or engage in a conversation without hearing some secular progressive gripe about how religion is in the public arena to the degree it is. So in … Read more…
You perhaps heard the news out of New York late last week about the young lady who induced a self-abortion. Apparently the 20 year-old woman “was charged with performing an abortion on herself after police found a fetus in a trash bin outside the woman’s Manhattan apartment building.” She was charged with self-abortion in the … Read more…
