Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World is a refreshing, practical look at end-times prophecies. Dr. David Jeremiah looks at several passages, that at first glance may appear all doom and gloom, and mines out of them a message of hope and a call to return to practical Christian living. Admittedly, I was reluctant to … Continue reading →

For those of you who don’t know, last week I went to the Leadership Conference at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY. This was their first conference in five years, and it was worth the wait. I’ve been to their conferences twice before, and one thing that impressed me then continued to impress me this … Continue reading →

Last weekend Mandy and I took the girls for a drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway to enjoy the glory of God’s creation in Autumn. The trees, not quite to their full splendor, were beautiful nonetheless. As we hiked to Indian Rocks, an outcropping of some very large rocks and boulders off the Parkway, our … Continue reading →

Stephen Mansfield invites you to take a look at history through the lens of beer in his book, The Search for God and Guiness. Mansfield masterfully tells the story of the Guiness family’s work and impact over the last 250 years. The story begins with entrepreneur Arthur Guiness and his twofold pursuit to not only … Continue reading →

Every morning I drive my three-year old to her pre-school. Usually the radio is off as I listen to her chatter and sing to herself. This morning was no different.

For those not familiar with the history of college football, you would be hard-pressed to find a team with a deeper heritage, a better history of success or a more … Continue reading →

For the most part, my children have never experienced a high-school football game. For the last several years I worked with a small private school in Maryland that did not have a football team. As a result, this corner of American culture was left unexplored by my children, until a couple of weeks ago. I … Continue reading →

I’m a huge fan of podcasts. I download several every week of different preachers that I enjoy listening to, and as I drive around or work in the office, I plug in my ipod and enjoy a good sermon (hey, us preachers need to be fed too!) Recently, however, I noticed something. Several (not all) … Continue reading →

Our 3 year-old is fiercely independent. Recently potty-trained and armed with a tremendous amount of self-confidence, there is nothing she cannot conquer. The phrase of the week has been “I’d do’d it myself.” It’s an interesting construct of toddler grammar, accomplishing both present and past tense, which is essential in the mind of our daughter … Continue reading →
