Preaching Jewish in a Greek World

( Rants )

I get asked alot about different methods of sharing Jesus. My standard response is "I like their way of sharing Jesus than the average Christian’s way of not sharing Jesus" (stolen and adapted for my blog friends from one of my heroes D.L. Moody.)
But, having said that, I do have a few gripes with some […]

You are what you read

( Rants )

The more you mentally digest what an author writes the more that author’s perspectives (if his/her thoughts are well reasoned and persuasive) become yours. In many ways you are what you read.
We’ve all heard the principle when it comes to food. All of us have heard the mantra from our moms, "You are what you eat." […]

Turning 42

( Rants )

It’s hard for me to believe that I’ll be 42 on Monday. Holy Canoli. If Debbie and I had had children our first year of marriage we would be the parents of a senior in high school!
Last year my happy and hyper little boy Jeremy was at his friend’s house and told his buddy’s parents, […]

A Re-Reformation of the Protestant Church

( Rants )

Right now I’m reading a book by Martin Luther (the monk not the king.) This little treatise is called "On Christian Liberty". It’s a devotional meets open letter meets booklet addressed  to Pope Leo X that deals with every Christian’s freedom from sin and freedom to serve. At the core of it all is the […]

Embracing my calling

( Rants )

Since I was eleven years old I’ve known that God was calling me to professional ministry of some sort (I say "professional" because I believe anyone who does any job for the glory of God is every bit as much in ministry as Billy Graham or their very own pastors!) And ever since I preached […]

Our 17 year wedding anniversary

( Rants )

My wife Debbie should receive sainthood from the Roman Catholic Church.Why? Because she conquered the most stubborn Protestant on this planet…me.
If you met my wife you’d be impressed by her warm smile, her listening ear and her genuine kindness. But what you probably wouldn’t even guess is that under her authentically kind personality is a steely resolve […]

Doing a Funeral Today

David was only 51 and he dropped dead of a heart attack on Sunday. He and his wonderful wife have been long time supporters of Dare 2 Share. They were among the first couples to join the church I pastored years ago. I think they were started attending when we had only like 30 people.
They […]
