America The Christian Nation: Trump Speaks the Truth
One year ago, I turn on my office computer in the mid-afternoon to see why I had so many messages only to see the news of the attack on the Capitol Building. It is not my purpose to assign blame for that event, it was a grim day in American history and should not be... Continue Reading →
What I’m Excited to Read in 2022
Each year I set two reading goals for the year, one is a number of books to read (usually 25-30 books) and the second, 3-5 books I will prioritize reading. I set a goal that is attainable but not easily, and since I am a competitive person it pushes me to continue to read throughout... Continue Reading →
25 Books Every (American) Christian Should Read
I need to begin this post by again acknowledging my own debt to the Renovare list I posted yesterday, but the aim of the Renovare list is a little too specific.

I have been a fan of this team since the late '80's and ridden the highs and lows that come with cheering on any Cleveland franchise. While I will admit I am more excited than sad about...

We Need the Spirit
Recently I had a brief interaction with an individual because a mutual friend was celebrating his opportunity to study and posted a picture of a large stack of books. This friend is a pastor and the woman commented that what the Church needs is the Holy Spirit, implying that my friend was wasting his time... Continue Reading →
Politics Destroying Our Witness
This past week I saw a video clip from John Hagee's Cornerstone church which showed people on stage exhorting individual's to chant "Let's go Brandon." [(So no one can accuse me of left-wing bias) here is the Christian Post article which also discusses the meaning behind the phrase for those who do not know.] Admittedly... Continue Reading →
