Relentlessly pursuing Christ and His Cause
Okay I made it back last night from Shirleysburg, PA (yes, out in the middle of nowhere) from Creationfest. It was awesome. Thursday morning I preached on “Heaven, Hell and everything in between”, a sermon that was based on Daniel 12:2-4 that says,
“Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some [...]
Okay, so you know how I wrote in my last blog about my busy two weeks coming up? My nephew’s wedding in Des Moines scrunched between two major ministry trips.
But then my wife got the wedding invitation yesterday and read it. And re-read it. Then she re-re read it one last time.
I was on the [...]
Here is my schedule over the next two weeks:
Tuesday: Leave for Phoenix to do some donor meetings.

Leave for Pennsylvania, arrive after 10pm, [...]
So last week I’m up in Estes Park with my family at a time share that my in-laws own. Jeremy comes running inside breathless and yells, “Daddy, your website is dare2share.org right?”

*This is a reprint of an article I wrote three years ago. I think it still has big relevance today, especially today. What do you think?
Utter it in some churches and you’ll be damned (no, “damn” is not the word.) This is a word that causes many pastors, Sunday school teachers and deacons to cringe [...]
Does your prayer life seem dry lately?
Do you feel a overwhelmed by life?
Are you facing a partcularly challenging trial?
There is nobody who can “recycle” your soul like Jesus when times get tough. Come to God in prayer in the name of Jesus and the power of the Spirit and he will fill you up, give [...]
Speaking at Creation is one of those rare speaking venues every preacher dreams of. Tens of thousands attentive, excited and ready-for-what-God’s-going-to-do crowds in a beautiful setting. I’ve never encountered a festival that, not only has the top Christian bands, but puts such a big emphasis on the Word of God. Pastor Harry has done a [...]
Two days ago Jeremy (7), Kailey (3) and I were going out to take a walk. As we went outside we were greeted with a wonderful sight. The biggest Cumulus Nimbus cloud I think I have ever seen. It was black on the edges and purple in the middle, that’s right purple. I have never [...]
I’m doing a new series on our Dare 2 Share Uncensored Podcasts called Going Green. No, not that kind of green. But I do think that environmentalism concern is a great analogy for taking care of the climate of our soul.
