A Reason for God – Discussion Guide
Tomorrow I’m looking forward to meeting with a friend who recently visited the church I pastor in order to discuss a book I gave him called “The Reason for God.” I read the book a little over a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. In my desire to have engaging and purposeful dialogue with my…
“The Transformation From Excited Missionary Into Citizen Of The Bubble”

Training my children and the danger of missing the heart in favor of behaviorism…
Much of what I write on my blog is not new nor is it novel. Most of the time I read something in a book, in an article or on a website and it triggers something I’d like to briefly write about or simply copy all-together (of course giving credit where credit is due). This…
