I recently got a Facebook message from a well-meaning Christian friend: "God has seen everything you've been going through, and He told me to tell you 'IT'S OVER'! Your trial has ended, and now God's about to open up the windows of heaven to bless you beyond your wildest dreams!!!!!" (Full disclosure: I may have…

What if Jesus had never been born? Many people believe the world would be a much better place. And what if this Christmas, they got their way? It’s not just "freedom of religion" or “freedom from religion” many people want. Some wish for a world where they’ll never be bothered to witness another…

During a magazine contest in 1892, the words to what we now know as our Pledge of Allegiance were first published. In 1942, the Pledge was officially adopted into our flag code. At the time, it read as follows: “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands; one nation…

Do you want to be more like Him? Really? Well... If you want to be more like Jesus, you need to think of yourself less and others more. If you want to be more like Jesus, you need to be less worried about your reputation and more about spreading His reputation throughout the world.…

Today's a Monday, and especially rough since we had a Super Bowl party at our house last night. I’ve woken up with a terrific headache. …and NO, it’s not a hangover! It was a church party. People don’t wake up hungover and naked after those…usually ;0) Bleary-eyed, I start checking through notifications on…

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I wrote this article years ago as God was preparing me to take a huge leap of faith. Within a few months after writing it, I quit my job and branched out in a new adventure. God spoke to me on my mountains walks with Him, and taught me faith lessons along the…

“Dear Angry Atheist…”

*Author's Note: I am aware that many atheists are kind, loving people who wish no ill will toward Christians. However, there are indeed some very "angry atheists" who've engaged me quite often on social media.

This is a picture of my new baby girl who just turned two-years-old. I remember the exact moment and where I was when she entered my life. Her name is Elizabeth (“Ellie” for short) and she is my second chance at being a dad. It’s not that I was a bad dad the…

My Favorite Super Hero

I loved the show "24,'' and Jack Bauer was the quintessential American hero. A loner often misunderstood, he avoids relationships because loved ones have a way of getting hurt around him. He wins using his well-honed skills, and then walks back into the darkness until the world needs him again. As a manly fantasy,…

His weathered hands were still steady, having stacked the wood by the cabin walls that would surely last the winter’s full duration. It’s a good thing he had.…

One of the funniest critiques I hear lobbed against Christians is that we "believe in fairy tales". "You Christians think your daddy in the sky created humans - how quaint and childish!" "Ok then," I respond, "where do you think we came from?" "Well, of course space aliens from another planet colonized earth. What other logical…
