Deuteronomy, The Gospel, And A Change Of Heart
First, it is unfortunate that Deuteronomy, and the Pentateuch as a whole, are for the most part ignored. They are a part of divine revelation and as such should be discussed a bit more. In all fairness I am also guilty of this. I admit that I am not a priest or deacon, but do... Continue Reading →
Faith Alone? Is This How We Are Saved?
I recently had the opportunity to once again interview Steve Ray. His energy is infectious and he is a wealth of knowledge. In this interview we discussed a crucial topic. Are we saved by faith alone? We will be doing a follow up later this month on what it means to be born again. Faith... Continue Reading →
Baptism: Live It Out
The Book of Joshua is an interesting book of the Old Testament. It starts in the thick of things. Moses has died, and the children of Israel are about to enter the Promised Land.

One of the things that I enjoy doing is reviewing books for other writers. It is my act of solidarity with them and an appreciation for the extreme effort they put into their work. A few weeks ago I was offered the chance to review a new book. The book is titled Glimmers of Grace:... Continue Reading →
Suffering And Growth In Holiness
Depending on the kind of suffering involved it is hard to see the light that it can bring. That light at the end of the tunnel seems distant. When St. Paul was writing to the church in Philippi he was writing to reassure them. He wants to encourage them to continue in the faith. The... Continue Reading →
Teach Your Children The Faith With These Steps
I have been called many things in my life: a good soldier, a solid worker, a model employee, and even a good husband. Those things are great and admirable, but they fail in comparison to my favorite title: dad. The Lord has blessed my wife and I with four awesome children, but with raising children...
