I know of a pastor whose first church was a small country church for almost 8 ½ years. During that time, I saw numerous miracles performed at his church and giving way beyond the size of the church. But due to his size of about 25 active members, very few other pastors in his organizationContinue reading “How big is your heart?”

Planting Seeds of Self-Doubt
As I was pondering my last post on how cults love to preach about submission, it dawned on me that another one of the key ways they try to deceive you into thinking you need to rely upon their guidance is by planting the seeds of self-doubt into your mind. In other words, you wouldContinue reading “Planting Seeds of Self-Doubt”
Submission
If there is one word that cults like to throw around, it would be that of submission. And I usually find it starts with a Bible Verse taken way out of context: Being a fan of unspoken truths, notice what it does NOT say: First of all, this verse is written for a follower toContinue reading “Submission”
The Ghosts of History
Recently, I had a chance to visit Charleston, SC, over the Fourth of July Holiday here in the United States. For those that may not know, it is one of America’s oldest settlements and played a key role in the American Revolution, as well as a nefarious role in the start of our Civil War.Continue reading “The Ghosts of History”

I always felt that I did not quite fit in at that time. And looking back on that time now,Continue reading “The Boost I Needed”
My Grandfather the Bigot
This may seem like a weird post for Memorial Day here in America, but I assure you it is not. I do not wish to memorialize my grandfather in a positive way, but expose him for who he was. A wee mind of a man who could not comprehend how insignificant he was to theContinue reading “My Grandfather the Bigot”
A Lesson Learned
I have always taught both my children and step children a very valuable mindset that I have driven home repeatedly. You Can’t Have Fun with the Fundamentals No matter what you undertake in life, until you get the basics down, your just average. The fun starts when you train yourself and do the fundamentals withoutContinue reading “A Lesson Learned”
The Road Test
As I approached the upcoming on-ramp, my car began to sputter, and the engine cut out. Two hours earlier, my car began to sputter slightly while idling. Then, while on my way to do a home visitation for the church I co-pastor, the car began to stall while stopped at an intersection. After praying quietlyContinue reading “The Road Test”
