How can you be sure that you are saved? Maybe you have asked or been asked that question. Many people will point back to a stroll down the church aisle or a prayer that they once prayed. However, Scripture does not counsel us to place our trust and hope in such experiences. Thabiti Anyabwile has [...]

Kindle for Blackberry
Kindle has come to the Blackberry. This is a brilliant app though I have yet to test it. But the idea excites me already. However, I will say that reading books on a Blackberry is not the most enticing option. The screen on most Blackberry phones, aside from the Storm, is pretty small. But this [...]
The Big Red Tractor
Here’s a modern day, animated parable that should cause us to think about the functions of the church and the role of the Holy Spirit.

The Unchanging Love of God
On Sunday, our Sunday School class looked at Malachi 3:6-18 and God’s unchanging love. It is only fitting that we discussed love on Valentine’s Day. Naturally we could have gone to 1 Corinthians 13 to talk about the many attributes of love. However, this passage gives us something a little different to [...]

Maybe there is something utterly and fundamentally wrong with me (sin, perhaps?) but I’m not prepared at any stage before I start preaching to say that I’ve done my prep; and nor am I prepared at any stage after I finish to say that I did [...]
A Deeper Devotion
The statistics that I listed in my earlier post are telling. Put together 20,000 people who commit their time, money and efforts to making Christ known across the globe and see what can be accomplished. Even on a small scale, imagine what could be done with an entire church of individuals who banded together for [...]
Reggie vs. Knicks
I have to rep my home state. Though Reggie grew up in Cali, he represented basketball in the Hoosier state. He was a lights out shooter who knew how to move without the ball better than anyone. And his battles with the Knicks were epic. So I’m looking forward to this…
Too Little Expectation?
Well…it’s time to get back in the saddle. I hadn’t planned on being gone for so long but I got swept away by life over the past two months. So let’s get reacquainted. Hi…my name is Jeff. Good to see you again. Now that we have that out of the way…
I’m not the type of [...]
