Armed Christian ready to defend themselves

Elizabeth, Grace and I just got back from a business trip to Chicago where we came close to getting mugged, twice in one day. Not that racism has anything to do with this sequence of events, but it is troubling to realize that in both instances, the would be assailants were of African American descent. […]

Why good things may pass you by

In an effort to answer a popular question I seem to be asked quite a lot, I wanted to continue writing about the influence Jesus Christ should have on our lives. While last week I wrote about Jesus being a guest in your home, this week I thought it would be beneficial to ask “What […]

What if Jesus Came To Your House…

Earlier this week, my wife Elizabeth shared a poem with me about Jesus being a guest in our homes. I wanted to share it with you and dig a little deeper in an effort to help you make changes in your life, if necessary. If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two, […]

God hears every work we speak

My friend Roger and I spent Saturday shooting pictures throughout Walt Disney World capturing what seemed to be true instances of happiness. However temporary, it was obvious many Disney guests were having a great time enjoying their vacation or simply taking time off from a hectic lifestyle. Then there was Brandy and Lesley… Both gals […]

How strong is Your Faith?

How strong is your faith? Surely it is strengthened when things go right, when God performs miracles in your life. The bible is full of examples how through their faith, individuals defeated evil, were healed or even brought back to life. “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and […]

Born again through Faith

Another wonderful week comes to an end, seven fantastic days spent glorifying the Lord! Through Calvary Chapel, this ministry and the help of my wife Elizabeth, I was able to continue my walk with Jesus and help a few fellow believers along the way. I am truly blessed to be a blessing! How great it […]

Faith without Works is meaningless

The apostles Paul and Peter certainly have quite a colorful relationship throughout the bible, in the second chapter of the book of Galatians Paul wrote about his rebuking Peter, an fellow disciple of equal standing in the eyes of God While Catholics believe Peter held a higher position than Paul among the Christian church, critics […]

Is Salvation a given?

In a discussion about salvation and eternal security, earlier this week I debated two interesting questions I am eager to share with you: Is one’s salvation permanent and, can true Christians continue giving-in to habitual sin? The first question raises a tremendous amount of controversy among Christians. The concept that salvation is not permanent, while […]

Three Gifts of Witnessing

Elizabeth and I attended our second apologetics class today and we were both blown away with it’s content. We are finally getting mouthfuls of apologetic food and feel better equipped to deal with the fast growing number of skeptics that surround us. It is a fact Christianity in America is not only on the decline […]

Postcards from God

Hurricane Katrina brought on much devastation last week and is now labeled the worse natural disaster in American history. The death toll is estimated in the tens of thousands and rebuilding costs continue to be beyond compare. I invite all those who want to help financially to do so by visiting The Red Cross and/or The Salvation Army website […]
