The secret to stress-free living.

Last updated on: March 13, 2013 at 12:12 pm By Dave Willis

I believe that the two words that have the most power are the simple words “Yes” and “No,” and when and how you use them will have more impact on your life than nearly another factor. Personally, I have a hard time saying “No.” I’m really more of a “Yes” kind of guy, but I’ve found out the hard way that saying “Yes” too often can lead to disaster. “Dad, can we have ice cream for breakfast?” “Sure! I think I’ll have some too!” “Dave, can... Read more

Porn and the Bible

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 3:48 pm By Dave Willis

Last night, I was watching the History Channel miniseries, “The Bible”, which retold the epic story of King David. He was a great and mighty king who got tripped up by an ancient version of pornography which led to lust which led to adultery which led to murder and ultimately led to chaos in his life. I believe that there is much we can learn from his story about the importance of protecting our purity and our marriages. The story... Read more

Why does God allow pain in the world?

Last updated on: March 8, 2013 at 6:36 pm By Dave Willis

As a pastor, I get asked often the age-old question, “Why would a good and loving God allow pain and suffering into our lives?” I think if we’re honest, we’d all admit to asking or at least thinking that question at some point in our lives. I know I have! In this short video, I try to unpack a very complex issue in two minutes (which is nearly impossible) but I hope that the story I share is one that... Read more
