TweetMy wife and I turn 33 today. Yes, we were born the same day, 500 miles apart, and she has a twin brother, Josh. I will point out that I’m about nine hours older, so I get to be the leader! We mark birthdays as milestones, as if surviving another year is a great accomplishment. [...]

All Things… For Christ
TweetToday, I’ll be preaching my final sermon to the wonderful people at Bethel Baptist Church. Tomorrow at 8:10 a.m., we’ll board a plane headed for Orange County, California. I’ve spent a long time thinking about my final words to my congregation. Almost five years ago now, I preached in view of a call in October [...]
Whosoever Includes You and Me
Tweet“Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.” I learned that song as a kid, and probably many of you did as well. The night I received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, everything was ultra-clear. I was a sinner. Jesus died to pay the penalty of sin. I needed Him [...]
God Gave His Son
TweetFor God so loved the world that He gave His Son… … to leave heaven’s perfection and live humbly on earth. … to make a difference in the lives of everyone around Him. … to face death on the Cross because we sinners needed a Savior. … to rise again and defeat the enemies of [...]
What Exactly Do You Mean by Being “Saved?”
TweetSometimes, we speak Christianese, and people outside the faith may have difficulty understanding it. Paul Washer uses a few tough phrases in this clip, such as “city of refuge” (a place where accused criminals could go for asylum in the Old Testament), but it’s overall an excellent way to explain and invite people to salvation…
I Like J. C. Ryle’s Thoughts on Redemption
TweetOne of the issues I struggled with deeply in the past is Calvinism… election… predestination, pick your term (but two are biblical for sure). I love the way Spurgeon addressed the question once about how he reconciled election and free will, simply stating that he didn’t have to reconcile friends. Today I stumbled on a [...]
Children and the Age of Accountability
TweetI’ve always believed in an age of accountability for sin. Children and babies who die don’t go to hell, period, and John Piper does a wonderful job of explaining why in ultra-simple terms.
History’s Greatest Romantic Comedy
TweetI, like most men I know, enjoy movies with some action and movement. Fire… explosions… suspense… these are the elements that get us excited. None of those “chick flicks,” right? My wife will sit and cry over all the sad and happy parts and I’m there strictly for the comic relief. But I will honestly [...]
The Worst Thing That Can Happen to Anyone
TweetWhat’s the worst thing that can happen to anyone? Ask most people, and the answer will have something to do with loss, illness, or death. Perhaps someone might answer that the worst thing would be for a person to die without a relationship with Christ and spend eternity in hell. Yes, but I actually think [...]
Whom God Saves, God Seals
TweetIn the year 2000, Angie and I bought our first home. It was sweet! We took one day with the realtor. About the fifth or sixth and final house we looked at that day was the perfect fit. We headed to the realtor’s office and filled out an offer form and included with it our [...]
