In Every Thing Give Thanks
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thess. 5:18) It seems each year as we arrive in late November approaching the Thanksgiving holiday, I am convicted of how much I have taken for granted and not given appropriate thanksgiving for God’s blessings in my life….
Do Pastors have Authority?
I saw a good question in a Facebook group pertaining to pastoral authority. Specifically, one was asking how much authority a pastor has within a congregation.

The Trinity Is Like…
Have you ever heard someone, trying to be helpful, make a comparison of the Trinity with something here in the world? Maybe you’ve heard one comparing the three-in-one Godhead to states of matter like solid, liquid, and gas? Or a man being a father, son, and grandson? Or maybe three ingredients making up one substance?…
Dealing with Discouragement, Depression & Suicide
Common to Man It is inevitable that we will experience periods of discouragement in our lives. This world is fallen and cursed due to Adam’s sin and our further transgressions.
