Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and […]

We are so unbelievably blessed. For most who read this you will never experience the hardships of the generations that led to you or the cultures and peoples around the world who face adversity in the ‘ordinary’ pursuits of life.

Hopefully Christmas for you is an unbelievable time to anticipate awesome gifts and time with family.

Summertime is officially fading from a student ministry perspective right now. After three full weeks of summer camp, two extended retreats, a weeklong missions trip, lake days, my first wedding and various speaking engagements I can just start to see it in my rear view mirror.

Luke 23:44-49 “It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having […]

Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by […]
