Well, if one had to know, I really have never written, just played around with some semi-quasi-halfway syntax and called it writing. The breath of my pen has exhaled with not even a vapor of expression remaining and at the end of this sentence I could stop and hit delete. Seriously, well… more like honestly,…
The Death of Discipleship
While it’s a common term and mission, discipleship as we know it in America’s church is dead. So dead that many believe that few are even being taught rightly by the scripture much less being brought into the Kingdom of God. Having a limited amount of time and a limited amount of webspace, there is…
Pastoral Challenges | QNA
This past week I have received dozens of questions but I had an email from a few weeks back that asked about challenges that pastors face and how they stand under the challenges.

What Church Attendance Means
Did you realize that worshipping with your church is evidence of the grace of God and the ONLY “place” that a true believer can exercise his or her gifts and obedience in the context of love and truth? (Eph 4:11-16; Heb 10:25; 1 Jn. 3:14) Those that fail in this, fail in love. They fail…
“No Mr., I will not talk with you…”
Many of you won’t believe this, but I have heard this more in the last two years than in all my 40 years on this Earth combined. Yes, I have heard these words from pastors, brothers in Christ, people who have visited worship services, people in town and aliens from outer space. Ok, not the…

Looking at the reality of how one is to deal with the devilish foolishness of non-preaching preachers who continue to savage the sheep of Christ. See the original text of Romans 16:17-18 17 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, σκοπεῖν…
A Quick Thought on Grace in Times of Struggle
1 John 2:28-3:3 shows us the full glorious reality that we have been adopted and given a certain hope in Christ Jesus whose righteousness we bare and who by His grace are able to walk in the light of holiness, not perfectly, but continually without fear of judgment or wrath. We abide in Christ because He…

In John chapter six, Jesus performs His fifth miracle after feeding the multitude by meeting the disciples on the Sea of Galilee during a wind storm in the middle of the…
Jesus Came to Deliver Fools from Themselves
In Titus 3 Paul is clear that before God saved us we were foolish, given to fleshly passions and were hating one another. That is great news! This is the GOSEPL of JESUS CHRIST! Because this is true, the scripture is very very very very clear…. did I say very? Yes, very clear that those…
Pagan Pastorate: The Devil in the Pulpit
While trying to steer away from the ever so common polemic per se, it is necessary, for the sake of the Gospel-called men and the church of Jesus Christ who have been purchased by His blood, to further equip the saints and warn them of the continued encroachment of unregenerate clergy front staging the churches…
