Back in 1973, renowned psychiatrist Karl Menninger wrote a book titled, "Whatever Became of Sin?" In it he lamented the fact that American society seemed to be in the process of rejecting the concept of a divine standard of right and wrong. The word "sin", Menninger maintained, was disappearing from the American vocabulary. He suggested that simply...

This morning is 'Patriot Day' remembering 9/11 but it's also Grandparent's Day. I've heard it said that 'grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children'. So I do want to honor those today who hold the title of 'Grandparent.'

So, tomorrow is 'Labor Day' where we celebrate 'work' by 'not working'. The irony never ceases to amuse... But when you think of 'God's work', what do you think of? When did all of that take place? There are a lot who may assume that the bulk of God's work peaked in Bible times and was done ...

Over the past few weeks I've talked about hard truths and sin, about separation from the world, and even the reality of Hell. All of which are related to punishment and the nature of God's wrath. And because God is so multifaceted - there are so many aspects and characteristics that make up our limited understanding...

Recently a School Board in North Dakota voted to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Their vice president said, "The statement that we are 'one nation under God,'...is simply an untrue statement. We are one nation under many or no gods..." "...the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God, and therefore, it does not include any...

Over the last several years, I'm guessing most of us have become way more familiar with viruses and how they work than we ever wanted. But, for those who've not been paying attention - a virus is a small infectious 'agent' that replicates inside the living cells of other organisms. And a virus is drastically different...

Madeleine L'Engle, the author of "A Wrinkle in Time", said, "We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it."

I love how little kids make friends... They meet for the first time on a playground, 'Hey, you want to play tag?' - 'Sure!' - and now they're best friends. They don't care about the others 'net worth' or background or politics - they just play and they're friends. I think that's one of the reasons Jesus said we should become ...

Between the years of 1978 to 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 young men. I'm sure most of you remember the news stories. The details of his crimes were absolutely horrific. He was sentenced to 15 life sentences. While in prison, a man reached out and sent him a Bible study. He was then introduced to a local minister, ...

Imagine two hundred years ago, someone wrote a book titled, "How to Survive in Everyday America." - And then each decade or so it was updated a little to reflect any necessary information. And then comes 2020 - and the whole book gets tossed out. And in these years since, we find ourselves regularly arguing about stuff that had been accepted ...
