I Want to Preface This Article By Stating This… I cannot imagine what someone has to go through in order to have the desire to take their life. Simply put, the reason varies from person to person. For some it could be a big life event that causes intense destress, crippling debt, mental illness, or something else. For others it could be a variety of factors. This being said, people who struggle with mental distress to the point of wishing... Read more

Where it Started “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” – Richard Dawkins – The God Delusion Page 31 In 2006, Richard Dawkins released a bombshell of a book called “The God Delusion” where he would seek to show the harm that religion...

The Modern Outlook Have you ever noticed that if you visit a city in the U.S. or Europe, there seems to be a university either in that city or in a city adjacent to it? The picture above shows a snapshot of where major universities are located globally (Along with their scores). These centers of learning have dominated the world for upwards of 1,000 years and have represented an important aspect of our culture: Meritocracy. When one hears gossip that... Read more

Stumbling Blocks and Fools Good Friday has come and gone and now, it is Holy Saturday. Church communities across the world met on Good Friday, either formally in the form of a service, or informally for a time of reflection, in order to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. The world stood and watched as the Son of God in human flesh gave up His life for the sins of humanity, taking on himself the wrath that we deserved for sin.... Read more

Biblical Reliability Revisited If you were to read a biography of George Washington, what would you expect to find? Maybe you would expect to find information about his family. You may see information about his education and his upbringing. As you read, you would end up seeing his achievements and landmark accomplishments. You would expect to read about his presidency, crossing the river at Trenton, and would see his vision that led to the capture of Cornwallis at York. Perhaps... Read more

Happy New Year! Let’s Talk About the Bible! As we begin the year of 2024, I want to introduce you to the importance of the Bible. The Bible is the most important book (or collection of literature to be more accurate) on the planet. Within the works of the Bible, Human authors used the tools at their disposal to communicate the words of God to a human audience. God’s inspiration for these texts is what leads Christians to find these... Read more

What If the Questions of Students Are Worth Discussing? This is a question that is in my mind often as a Youth Pastor. I and an amazing team of Adult Leaders and Staff see to the discipleship and care of a decent-sized group of Middle School and High School students. One of our goals is to create an environment where questions can be asked, doubts can be wrestled with, and students know that no question will be judged as unworthy... Read more

Does the Father truly love us?” These are Lyrics to the Song “Is Anyone Worthy” by Andrew Peterson and Ben Shive. Of Course, if you are familiar with the song, you know that they are the questions that open up each of the verses. These questions always hit me when I can worship with this song because they are incredibly honest. And even... Read more

“Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven!” This is what the people were shouting as a well-known rabbi came riding into the city of Jerusalem on a donky. He was humble, wise, taught in parables so that some can understand and some couldn’t, and preached a message of repentence and faith. His Kingdom wasn’t of this world. And yet… it was in...
