I’m currently rereading C. J. Mahaney’s book Humility: True Greatness because I’m a proud man and through the grace of Christ I want to crush my pride and manifest humility in my life. Just recently I have had several incredible opportunities to exemplify humility, but instead chose to exemplify pride, which made me realize that I…
It’s been my desire as a fairly new parent (my wife and I have a beautiful 11 month old daughter named Lucianne and another one on the way!) to read as many books on biblical-based parenting as I can, as well as engage in conversations with parents who are currently raising children who are walking…
Recently, I finished C. J. Mahaney’s book “Humility – True Greatness.” It’s a short book and one that most individuals could knock out in a couple hours. However, the premise of the book – true greatness in God’s eyes is reserved for those who are humble in spirit – is one that an individual will…
In my short time as a pastor working with middle, high school, and college students, as well as adults (both young and old) the issue of pornography has been the subject of a multitude of breakfast and lunch appointments and phone calls with men in the church and those outside. Interestingly enough, several of my unbelieving…
Justin Taylor’s blog is becoming a daily read for me. To say that his blog is a great source of encouragement would be an understatement. Hopefully, my family and I will soon be transitioning into a Senior Pastor position. With that transition quickly approaching, I’m trying to read anything and listen to anyone who might offer…
Mike Calhoun, who works for Word of Life Ministries, gives some practical and very helpful advice on spiritually leading your family.

This is a short, but great little post by Justin Taylor where he cites three prominent Christians and why they make a habit or writing out their thoughts. In my “about me” section I make a similar case as to why I write – but in a much less articulate and eloquent manner!
In reviewing Justin Taylor’s blog tonight I came across an intriguing link to a video that is perplexing and humorous, but ultimately very eye-opening to the calling that pastors have – and that calling is not to make individuals in the pew laugh, but to steadfastly and honestly preach the word of God, which is…
Dr. Russell Moore, Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY and author of “Moore to the Point,” writes a great article concerning David Letterman and his recent “confession” on his show the other night. I watched snippets of the show, but didn’t know what to make of it…
Watch this video and prayerfully consider how you might be involved in carrying what James tells us is “pure and undefiled religion” (James 1:27). As an individual who became a parent through the wonderful process of adoption I’m extremely thankful for the Christian Alliance for Orphans and their work in exposing people to the mandate to…
