Death as Antidote to Hubris 

The absurdity of atheist man lies in his determination to make himself God in defiance of the certainty that he is separated from the grave by no more than the next step, the next breath, and the last heartbeat.   From this unstable pulpit of a brittle and...

Standing at the Crossroads 

It can be scary to stand at a crossroad, knowing that the choice you make about which direction to take could affect many people. God provides help during such periods of indecision. He knows we don’t have the wisdom to choose which path to take, so He provides many...

OUR INTEGRITY DEFINES US 

Our integrity as Christians reflects on God and reflects the God in us! None of us are perfect, but we can be authentic, grow in character, and live in a way that makes people trust us and want to associate with us. The minor choices we make when nobody is watching...

WE’RE LIVING IN A TIME OF THE BIG LIE 

Sanity is a casualty in a world that sees truth as a flimsy thing based on your point of view. The shifting sands of moral relativity inspire peak awareness summed up in the slogan, “If it feels good, do it!”  Strife is inevitable when absolute truth dies. Justice...
